The idea was to give the students an opportunity to try some Shorinji Kempo, but the focus was not so much on teaching specific Shorinji Kempo techniques, but rather more to try a little self-defence and get the opportunity to try practice punches and kicks to mits and <em>do<\/em> (torso protectors). We also emphasized that one of the most important aspects of self-defense is not so much about punching, kicking, or throwing, but more about not being in the wrong place, not to walk home alone, etc.<\/p>\n<p>There were thirteen girls in morning session and six in the afternoon session.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/folkuniversitetets-gymnasieskola-december-2011-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-939\" title=\"Students at the Folkuniversitetets gymnasieskola try Shorinji Kempo, december 2011.\" alt=\"Students at the Folkuniversitetets gymnasieskola try Shorinji Kempo, december 2011.\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/folkuniversitetets-gymnasieskola-december-2011-2-640x426.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/folkuniversitetets-gymnasieskola-december-2011-2-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/folkuniversitetets-gymnasieskola-december-2011-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/folkuniversitetets-gymnasieskola-december-2011-2-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/folkuniversitetets-gymnasieskola-december-2011-2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, 14th of December, we had a &#8220;try out&#8221; activity for students in the school &#8220;Folkuniversitetets gymnasieskola&#8221; (a local High School), they had a day with physical activities and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2882\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shorinjikempo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
