Kenpō is also called Hakuda, Shuhaku, Shorinji kenpō and Ch'uan-fat or Ken-fat in Chinese. From the kenpō would come Po-kua and Hising-i.
The techniques of kenpō are: kicks, punches, projections, dislocations, articular levers and body-body combat, both on the ground and on the ground. For fights, they wear gloves and special protection for the face and trunk. Shorinji Kenpō also plans to teach to fall, imitating feline movements to rise quickly.
