But again shorinji refers me to china such as KENPO But I have just probably opened a course to dispute just was relieing on the past

EITHER WAY, ITS NOT UP TO THE JOB.
THE SO CALLES "SOFT" MOVES ARE VERY SIMILAR/SAME TO AKIDO.
PUT IT THIS WAY I DID IT FOR A FEW YEARS TWICE A WEEK,
but i was never happy with it.
so i stopped and started attended thai boxing, which i immediately realised what i'd been missing.
So to prove my point i,thought i'd do both at the same time and see what effect it had.
Well after only a handfull of thai boxing classes, i suddenly found that my sparring ability AT SHORINJI KEMPO CLASS had zoomed up. And because i had improved so much, ALL THE SHORINJI'S wanted to try and defeat me.
But none of them could , even the black belts.
ON one occasion, the instructor decided to make a public spectacle of me !!
So he got the whole class to sit down and watch.
Then he said come on then, and he looked so confident,almost smug!
But fortuneately i managed to get the better of him.
But he wouldnt accept , and said "you got lucky" !
so he insisted we repeated it again, with the same result(lucky old me ).
Now he begins to look a bit annoyed/embarrased, and says "again"(but this time he consults the his team of blackbelts for advice)
So we do it again, and this time it's closer but i still get the better of him.
The whole class was silent.
Then he just stood there and looked at me, and i couldnt believe it as he turned to the class and said " although it make look like he's doing well, he's actually not using correct technique" !!!!!
If thats what you want then fine, but like i say NOT FOR ME!
