MARTIAL ARTS - KENJUTSU

Kenjutsu is a term to cover all Japanese forms of swordsmanship, Kendo and Iaido. Kenjutsu means "the method or technique of the sword" .

I have wanted to know how to do proper swordsmanship since I can remember. When I found out that in Japan they do swordsmanship in school I think I actually felt jealousy. Sometimes I believe I was born in the wrong time period because to me swordsmanship had far more honor than gunmanship. I don't ascribe to silly notions of why tho. I believe it is more honorable simply because it takes far more training and skill to use. When you fought your enemy it had to be face to face pitting once ability against the other.

MARTIAL ARTS - AIKIDO

When I was younger I wanted to learn a number of Martial Arts forms. So I decided to create pages about the styles I've always had interest in. AIKIDO is a Japanese Martial arts. It was developed to be a style of non violence and peace.
It looks as if it doesn't work when you watch demonstrations but it is actually taught to police forces around the world. From what I understand it is a complex system not easily learned. In Aikido one must move with one's opponent. When they give force you give way. One does not meet force with force. One counters and uses their opponents force against them. Or one uses joint locks to subdue. I always thought this is a form of combat that should be more widely taught to women because it's not about overpowering your attacker.

Many of you have seen Aikido if you have watched a Steven Seagal movie. However for the movies purposes it is implemented as a more offensive deadly form rather defensive peaceful one.

Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit

or Seirei no Moribito. This is a really good anime. It's not like the typical anime. If you don't like the usually tropes and ideas that come in the anime genres you may like this show. This is more of a animated fairy tale. I love the interaction between the characters. I plan to watch this one again soon.
