World Shorinji Kempo Organization

World Shorinji Kempo Organization

The World Shorinji Kempo Organisation, commonly referred to as WSKO, is the main governing body for Shorinji Kempo dojos outside of Japan.

History

As Shorinji Kempo began to expand out of Japan in the 1960s and 1970s there was a need to create a central organisation to ensure international communication and cooperation between dojos. As a result eight countries, the United States, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sweden, the Philippines, Iran and Japan formed the International Shorinji Kempo Federation (ISKF) in January 1972. In 1974 this had increased to 16 countries and reformed as the World Shorinji Kempo Organisation.

Organisation

WSKO is a member organisation of the Shorinji Kempo Group, which comprises 4 other organisations involved in the administration of Shorinji Kempo and Kongo Zen. The Shorinji Kempo Group is headed by the daughter of the founder of Shorinji Kempo, Yuuki So, Doshin So II and the current Shorinji Kempo Shike.
