Not to worry...it's not advertising. Check out the forums at the bottom of the Main Index page (Martial ARts Media), and there is a thread or two on "What ARe You Reading" in the Asian ARts section.

I would add "What Is Shorinji Kempo?" in English, and in Japanese, "Wagahai wa Kuro-Obi/Burakku Beruto De-aru" and "Shorinji Kempo no Susume".

No. Shorinji Kempo is unique. The founder was a Japanese who studied in China for many years, but the codification, classification, methodology and syllabus are all his own.
Try here for some more background.
BTW, it's Shorinji Kempo, with an "m".
