Shorinji Kempo aka The Killing Machine!

In this episode we discuss the 1975, highly stylized (and highly fictionalized) biographical martial arts film, 'Shorinji Kempo' aka 'The Killing Machine!'- the story of Doshin So, the founder and creator of the Japanese hybrid martial arts system Shorinji Kempo. We go into a deep analysis of my own experiences training in the art, the history of the system with its roots in both jujitsu and Shaolin Kung Fu, as well as an examination of the technical aspects of the film. Enjoy!
