Also recommend any books about Japanese martial arts π₯
i only saw the beginning scene of the movie (it was an english dub i found on tubi) and nothing else, the beginning had a japanese family that were peacefully chilling at home (i think it was a traditional small dining room?) until a foreigner breaks in, terrorizes the family and beats the dad in front of them, telling him about a debt and that he would kill him if he doesn't do it or something like that (iirc the karate dad and the foreigner guy were longtime enemies), i don't remember much nor saw the rest because i fizzled out about 5 minutes in
I mean, "Put a big chunk of wood between you and them" has got to be universal, right? But I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a samurai or ninja with a sword and shield.
Sword and board is one of my favorite combos, it's superb in Monster Hunter, fun in Skyrim, really rewarding in Dead Cells, you get the picture, like, they're always fun to have on hand. And if you've played SnS before you know that it's not an inherently defensive playstyle; bashing, bludgeoning, and breaking are pretty damn enjoyable in most games. But even the defensive style can be cool, with parries and riposts, high toughness making the player a mountain, and if the shield is big enough maybe it can block some damage, too.
I dunno. I love Nioh, and Team Ninja has done a really great job with their weapon design (more or less), so I think they could do a sword and board playstyle really well! But I dunno, maybe the Japanese actually never used shields?
Hey, this is my first time posting here, Iβm really appreciative of this community and the intelligent people here.
For a story Iβm writing, the characters apply their souls, and subsequent life force, to five martial principles. The height of these principles is a personalized technique that falls into five broader categories.
I was wondering if there was an interesting and meaningful way to translate βSoul Applicationβ, βTechnique Achievementβ, and βTechnique Activationβinto Japanese so that they have a name that is succinct but carried that meaning. Thanks for the help !

I used to know them by heart - and ONE of them sounds like this:
SHEEN sets-oo-knee doe-soo-roo KOE TOE - which one of those up there is THIS one ?
If you have ever had an interest in classical martial arts, or are a fan of Japanese culture, I would highly recommend you come to this seminar. JΕdΕ is the traditional art of wielding a short staff that was founded 400 years ago, and was taught to Japanese spies during WWII and to the Tokyo Riot Police starting in the 1960's and still to this day.
This seminar will be from Friday, December 3rd to Sunday, December 5th. It will be led by some of the top practitioners of this art in the USA, who have been training for at least 10 years and as many as 50 years, and all have trained extensively in Japan! Practitioners of all skill levels from around the country will be attending.
Anyone is welcome, regardless of experience; whether you are a veteran practitioner of something else or have never set foot in a dΕjΕ in your life, you should come give this a try!
Further details and registration can be found here
I currently train Japanese Jiu Jitsu and want to become a police officer in the future. I was wondering if anyone officers in here have trained it and consider it useful. Or if not, what martial arts have you trained and consider useful?
My club is beginning to hold Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes too and ideally I'd like to train each one once a week, however I'm unsure if I can afford it at the moment.
Kendo γγγ©γ ε£ι (Japanese traditional martial arts)
I have two brothers. One is two years younger than I, the other is nine years younger than I. When I was fourteen years old, they started Kendo. I also started to attend Kendo activities with them. From the age of 14 to the age of 15, I practice Kendo once a week.
"Ken" means sword, "do" means way. Kendo is one of the traditional martial arts. We can learn swordsmanship through Kendo practice, but we don't use real a sword like SAMURAI γγγγ δΎ. When we practice Kendo, we use bamboo swords, called SHINAI γγͺγ η«Ήε. η«Ή γγ TAKE means a bamboo, ε γγγͺ KATANA means a sword.
When I was a senior high school student and when I was a university student, totally for seven years, I belong to the Kendo club activity there. Those days I attended Kendo practices on all weekdays, from Monday to Friday, from 5:15 pm to 6:30 pm.
At senior high school, I was the strongest of all the female members. At the university, I enjoyed instructing the other members that were in lower grades (subordinates).
Even now, martial arts interest me. And SAMURAI-SHIP is one of my policies.

Lol I know it sounds dumb as hell.
A friend of mine is doing research on a deceased relative that was a Martial Art bad ass. She found some of his documents and is trying to get him recognized. There are additional papers if I get any interest. Any help with translation would be great!https://i.imgur.com/tFIvDHC.jpg
I've seen several of the Chinese classics by now but of Japanese fare the only stuff I've come by are The Street Fighter (which I had mixed feelings about) and a couple of other Sonny Chiba movies that were just "okay". What else are notable Japanese martial arts films? Are there any? It seems like they don't get discussed nearly as much as entries in the genre from other countries.
Iβm sharing the link to an event page to publicize this upcoming Sundayβs online meeting to talk about the value of Japanese martial arts.
Spreading out the word about this meeting would be appreciated.
Your questions & feedback on this event would be welcome
