Martial arts

In Muromachi era many samurai always practiced the ways of battle for war. Those days a lot of battles happened frequently so samurai had to ready for those battles and practice that way. After that the way of battles became Martial arts for example Judo, Kendo, Karate and Kyudo etc. They spread in Japan because in Japan main religion is Buddhism. Most the Buddhists like to investigate the serious ways and tend to reach the top. They thought the martial arts are best ways to reach it.


Today I would introduce a martial art, Judo. Judo was made in 1882 by Kano Jigoro. The mottos are the training and the education of our mental. Judo is the most popular martial arts in the world because Judo is an event of the Olympic Games. Many foreigners take part in the Olympic Games as a player of Judo and get gold medals so Judo became popular in the world and many foreigners come to Japan to learn Judo. Judo is accepted as the art of self-defense because we can play Judo without tools so in Japan all policemen have to learn Judo to protect them if they encounter some accidents. Also in Japanese school most students are learned Judo. As a result, most Japanese play Judo and Judo is becoming popular in the world.
