The Way of White Lotus Kempo

In the world there are many different versions of Kempo. Some of them are sports, some only a special effects show, dance and spiritual practices aimed at integrating mind and body.

Kempo, as many martial arts, went a long way from India to China through Bodhidharma and eventually settling in some of today's Ryu Kyu islands of Japan islands (the largest island of Okinawa). From there, after the second World War II, continued to put in Europu.Prošlost Kempo is important that the spirit and principles of practice that have survived all those centuries and continents.

for Kempo is a Japanese form of Chinese words Chuan Fa . Chuan Fa is on the other side of the Indian Sanskrit word translation Vajramukti - Thunder closed hand. Chuan Fa consists of two Chinese symbols - C Huan - closed hand, and Fa - way, law, principle or Buddhist teaching. So we can say that Kemp is principle closed hand.

At first glance some people might say that the White Lotus Kenpo is like any other karate schools (White Keiko Gi, similar views, feet and hands), but the truth is far from it. Today's sport karate mainly oriented. In the world of karate, and there are valuable exceptions (some of the old spiritual Karates Okinawa), but most are just sport and physical activity -. What is certainly better than no exercise

White Lotus Kenpo schools have completely different goals than most karate schools. It involves hard physical training and spiritual growth of man through training, but excludes any exotic principles which are an integral part of almost every sport - be better than others, winning the match to get material wealth, fame, popularity, etc. These are only food for the ego.

Kempo is a martial art, not sport, it has no sports competition. The only real competition in Kempo, the real struggle is to overcome all the negative inner states of consciousness (stress, anxiety, etc. created with today's fast lifestyle) through hard physical practice.
