The Six Characteristics of Shorinji Kempo

Todays T-Shirt choice reminded me of the Six Characteristics of Shorinji Kempo.

• Ken Zen Ichinyo – Body and the mind are one.
• Riki Ai Funi – Strength and power should never be separated from compassion.
• Shushu Koju – Defence comes before attack. 
• Fusastu Katsujin – Defend and protect without killing. 
• Goju Ittai – Use hard and soft techniques together, in balance.
• Kumite Shutai – Pair work is fundamental.  

And

Live Half for yourself, Half for Others.
