What are the traditional Japanese martial arts

Judo is widely known throughout the world. The basic principle of Judo is not to attack, but to use the opponent's strength to protect oneself, and the level of the judoka is indicated by the color of the belt (junior: white/senior: black). Judo is a development of Chinese boxing, originating from the Shaolin school. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a Chinese martial artist, Chen Yuanzan, introduced the traditional Chinese martial art to Fusan (present-day Japan), which became the forerunner of the modern world-famous Judo.

Kendo refers to the Japanese sport of fencing, derived from the important martial art of swordsmanship for the samurai. Competitors wear specialized protective gear and stab each other in the head, torso and fingertips with a bamboo sword according to strict rules.

Karate is a fighting sport that was introduced to Japan from China through the Kingdom of the Ryukyus (now Okinawa). Karate does not use any weapons, but only fists and feet, making it a more realistic form of combat than other fighting sports.

Aikido was originally a sport for practicing "forms," and its basic idea was to fight without force against force. Compared with sports such as judo and karate, Aikido, which is not as brutal, is popular with the elderly and women as a mental exercise and fitness sport.
