To WSKO Members in the U.K.

 

This is an announcement on branch/individual activities after the dissolution of the British Shorinji Kempo Federation (Termination of the status as a WSKO Regular Group Member)

 

<Branches>

- BSKF’s status as a Regular Group Member has been terminated; however, individual branches with intention to continue Shorinji Kempo activities complying with the principles and the Statutes of WSKO may continue the activities as Associate Group Members.

Any other group is not recognized as a group of Shorinji Kempo.  Such a group may not use the name Shorinji Kempo, its mark and/or logotype, as well as any education materials containing “the philosophy, the techniques, and the education system” of Shorinji Kempo.

 

- A sub-branch that has been active with approval by the British Shorinji Kempo Federation and wishes to continue practicing Shorinji Kempo should contact the WSKO Secretariat.  We will make arrangements for such a group to continue its activities as WSKO members.

 

<Individuals>

- If you are an individual member of a British branch that has ceased to affiliate with WSKO but you wish to continue practicing Shorinji Kempo, please contact the WSKO Secretariat (e-mail: wsko@shorinjikempo.or.jp).  We will make arrangements for you to continue at a WSKO branch.
