<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\nThe practice in Shorinji Kempo Karlstad Shibu follows a similar pattern as in most other Shorinji Kempo branches.<\/p>\n
The training is two hours and normally looks like below:The training for adults is two hours and normally looks like below, the junior’s group have practice for one hour and also have a similar set-up but with the difference that the warming up often is more playful and we do not do uny\u014dh\u014d<\/em>\/randori<\/em>.<\/p>\n Chinkon gy\u014d<\/em> means that we read a few paragraphs on why we practice Shorinji Kempo and the purpose of the practice, and sit down a few minutes and do meditation.<\/p>\n Junbi tais\u014d<\/em> can be translated as warming up. The physical training usually begins with various gymnastic exercises to get your heart rate going, and to minimize the risk of injury. We often do these exercises in the form of regular kihon<\/em> training (basic training) but at a pace suited for warming up. Often, we also use mits (punch and kick-pads) in various warm-up exercises.<\/p>\n H\u014dkei<\/em> means that we train to predetermined forms. One practice in pairs, where one act as the attacker and one as the defender. One practice both hard and soft techniques. Hard techniques, g\u014dh\u014d waza<\/em>, are techniques where you defend against one or more punches and kicks. Soft techniques, j\u016bh\u014d waza<\/em> are techniques where you learn defence against various grabs and throws.<\/p>\n Embu<\/em> is a form of demonstration as well as our form of competition, and the word can be translated as “show fight.” It is performed by two people who put together a program of 1.5 – 2 minutes of hard and soft techniques to a predetermined battle. In competition the performance of techniques are judged in terms of technical skill (gijutsudo<\/em>) and overall impression (hy\u014dgendo<\/em>).<\/p>\n Although embu<\/em> is our form of competition that is not the most important thing with practising embu<\/em>. The main thing is that with one’s partners cooperate and develop together, both technically and mentally.<\/p>\n![\"samu\"](\"http:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/kanji-samu.png\" "\\"samu\\"")

<\/a>We start by cleaning our d\u014dj\u014d<\/em>, partly because it is necessary since we have our own place and no one else cleans it for us, but it also has another aspect which briefly means that one must learn to keep things close to you in order.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\nChinkon gy\u014d<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\nKihon<\/h2>\n
<\/a>Kihon<\/em> means basic training. We practice punches, kicks, blocks, movements, rolls, etc. This type of training is often done in solo form, but can also be made in pair form. In our branch, we quite often use mits (punch and kick-pads) and\/or d\u014d<\/em> (body protectors) in our kihon<\/em> training. In addition, we also practice different single forms, tanen h\u014dkei<\/em>, according to a predetermined pattern of basic techniques.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\nH\u014dkei<\/h2>\n
