Military [Solved] Japanese Shorenji Kenpo gets recognition from Shaolin Temple

People called Doshin So a liar for years. That he never studied under a Shaolin Monk and made up the entire story.

Now, Mr Doshin So is clearly mentioned on the Shaolin Temple website!

1930: Japanese Doshin So came to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. Back to Japan, he founded Japanese Shorinji Kempo Federation.

This is important because it shows the Shaolin Temple recognizes Doshin So as studying martial arts at the temple and later creating his own martial art from the teachings he had received. Hence, Shoriji Kenpo is inspired by Shaolin Boxing but is not the same as Shaolin Boxing. He has been telling the truth all this time.
