shorinji ryu aiki ju-jutsu
Shorinji Kempo traces its origins more than five thousand years to ancient
India. Though it experienced a long period of development in China, its present
form is the result of Founder's genius. Doshin So was born in 1911, in Okayama
Prefecture, the oldest son of a customs officer. Upon the death of his father,
young So was sent to live with his grandfather, who was an employee of the
Manchurian railroad.
