What does it mean to become a member of Camden Shorinji Kempo? And why should you become one?
As a Camden Shorinji Kempo Member, you get first access to every event that we put on. You get to vote on our actions at our AGM and benefit from the huge discounts that we offer!
We run around 90 in-person classes a year. We sometimes take a little break over the holidays. All our club instructors volunteer their time and occasionally when they are all away we have an array of amazing guest instructors from across London.
Since starting the club, we’ve: run full-day seminars (where we learned to use long staffs or shakajos), been featured onscreen at Piccadilly Circus, hosted a Halloween Special class (complete with Zombie outfits), visited clubs across Europe including Bristol, Messina Sicily and Lisbon, run first aid classes and organised a gender-neutral tournament (taikai).
A Camden membership also gives you exclusive access to our original literature, videos and the Kempo content that we produce. We also discount the price of our merchandise.
Our members are the reason that Camden Shorinji Kempo keeps going! Your membership fees pay for our exciting events, courses, club administrator and most importantly room hire.
