How Cool!! Martial Arts


Have you ever experienced any martial art? It is called "Budo" in Japanese. I think martial arts are really cool!! Also I had played kendo till high school days. Now I'm going to introduce attractions of martial arts.

Martial arts are sports originated from mainly Japan and China. These days men and women of all ages in the world do them. If you get interested in them, let's go to "Martial Edge" This site introduces overall summaries about martial arts, and moreover you can watch some short movies.

Not only to train your body, but also in daily life martial arts are very useful to guard yourself. "Budo Kissa" shows you the ultimate art of self-difense. It is based on Shaolin (Shorinji) kung fu. But if you don't like reading, it is difficult for you to read and understand it.

Because I especially love kendo, I'd like you to know how cool kendo is, so I'm going to show you my favorites.
