Kemposhinkai KARATE

The kemposhinkai was created in 2006 by Serge Cal. It is also one of the Kempo styles the most represented in France.
The term Kemposhinkai is a Japanese term which is written with four ideograms. The first ideogram Kem reads and translates into fists. The second ideogram is pronounced Po (with phonetic liaison). It is translated as law, methodology, way. The term Kempo may result in several ways: "Law fist", "Way of the Fist", etc.. The third SHIN means real and the fourth kai means organization. All can result in the following ways "The true organization of the way of fist" or "the new organization of the way of fist".

Although Kemposhinkai is defined as a "Way of Fist", its technical content goes far beyond the only techniques of percussion. The Kemposhinkai stands today as a complex and independent system as a martial art in its own right. Like other martial arts, it covers various styles or schools. These may be different styles such as karate, Thai boxing, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, etc ... Its technical range includes all possible aspects of the practice. This martial art combines percussion, seizures, projections, work on the ground and the self-defense. The martial feature of Kemposhinkai is primarily intended for fight. It is true that the first priority is the immediate effectiveness in real fight. Hard and strong effectiveness through the acquisition of technology directly applicable in case of aggression. It is a very hard style of karate where fitness and mind are in high demand, however, respecting the ethics of martial arts.

The kemposhinkai comes from the Okinawa Kempo which is an okinawaien style (a small island near Japan). It was founded in 1953 by Shigeru Nakamura (1893-1969). It was a style of the okinawaien " Law of the fist" which was taught by his father (Keikichi Nakamura) and his uncles (Nakamura and Nakamura Teiichi Shinkichi).
The Sport presentation of Kemposhinkai is probably one of the toughest that exists. However, it relies on rules well thought, which evolve as the years go by. These rules are based on very extreme possible limits but still keeping the main objective of integrity and security of the competitor. The study of the regulation is based according to age and level of combatants. It goes without saying that the settlement of an adult confirmed will be different from that of an adult beginner. That is why was established a logical progression from children to adults confirmed while passing by teenagers and adult beginners. Each category is examined and has its own rules.
