ABOUT FUDOZEN SHORINJI KEMPO KARATE

 

Fudozan Shorinji Kempo Karate began hundreds of years ago in Osaka, Japan. KEMPO = the way of the fist, KARATE = empty hands. Fudozan Shorinji Kempo Karate is a "hard style" where any block or strike committed is done with full intensity. Grand Master James Galati of Lawtons NY. began our organization over 30 years ago. He incorporated SPEED EQUALS POWER because SPEED CREATES POWER from the snap at the end of each technique.
