The first art that I am going to discuss is called yamusabi the traditional samurai art of archery while riding a horse . It differs from other arts because it is done while riding on a horse. The next art which was derived from kendo was fencing, the object is to avoid the opponents sword and reply instantly to his blows. The difference is it is done for sport. The next art discussed is karate which means empty handed and its works by converting the human body into a lethal weapon. It differs from other arts because it is executed empty handed and uses strikes instead of throws. The training is extremely hard because it trains the body to be able to withstand pain. The next art discussed is the art of Judo whose purpose is to defend the un armed by using throws. The difference is it uses the persons relies on throws and ultimately try to choke the person out . The next art is naganata. It is a weapon in which the opponent is swept away, the difference between this and the other arts is it is peculiar to the japanese woman. The next art discussed is ikudo. The difference is the way to attack someone is to use there own strength against them and to throw them quite naturally also the basic moves looks like a dance. The next art is the art of sumo wrestling this art differs from the others because its purpose is to push the other individual out the ring through the use of force. Sumo wrestling is the national sport of Japan.
The different types of martial arts were practiced by samurais. They used different weapons and tactics in each martial art. Yamusabi is a samurai art of archery. It is the shooting of arrows from a bow while riding a horse. Another art is fencing, which was branched off from kendo. Fencing requires an extreme amount of skill and technique. Also a next art is karate also known as “empty handed.” Practicing karate turns your whole body into steel and making it into a deadly weapon. This art is executed empty handed and uses strikes instead of throws. The training is extremely difficult because it trains the body to be able to withstand pain. Next is the art of Judo. The moral of judo is to defend the unarmed by using throws and making them unconscious with a tight hold. Judo is participated as an international sport. The art of naganata is for woman the moral of this particular art is that it is a weapon in which the opponent is swept away. The next art is Aikido. Akido moral is the art of self protection. The art is used to attack someone using their own strength against them and to throw them quite naturally. Also the moves looks like a dance. The final art is the art of sumo wrestling this art differs from the others because its purpose is to push the other individual out the ring through the use of force. Sumo wrestling is the national sport of Japan.
Budo the art of killing is a Japanese movie about the different forms of martial arts and Japanese culture. It was a very interesting movie as it not only showed the different types of martial arts (some I never heard of before) but it also talked about the philosophies and reasoning behind the different styles and their relation to Japanese culture then and now. Some forms of martial arts that were mentioned were sumo wrestling, judo, yabusame (archery from a mounted, running horse), aikido, fencing, bhutan karate and naginata. In judo it was more of a sporting event with a lot of throws. Some throws depicted were a shoulder throw a side throw and a head throw. Aikido was the art of using your opponent’s force against them. It is really graceful it looked like a dance of some sort. Naginata was more of a women's martial art. It was one that used a weapon which were wooden staffs with blades on the end. The women would train with this in a similar way someone would train with fencing in that the body and face was covered by protective gear. Karate was a form of martial arts that did not use any weapons. It was the empty handed art and it utilized strikes rather than throws. A person training in karate would train and make their body like steel because they would be constantly hitting tree trunks and other objects to build up resistance to the pain and to make them stronger. Japanese fencing or kendo differs from the fencing of the western world. A fencer would start by squatting then attack whereas in the western world they just attacked with the practice sword. Archery from a running horse was also quite interesting. It seems similar to jousting but instead of spears bows are used. These bows had an end that looked like a fist and it was shot at hollow ceramic plate like objects filled with confetti. Not only were martial arts spoken on, they also talked about the samurai and their beliefs. The samurai’s philosophy was to sacrifice one’s life for their master. To them this was their ultimate goal and dream. It was also said that the symbol of Budo was a sword and the national sport of japan was sumo wrestling. Some lower class weapons mentioned that persons used against the samurai were nunchacku, brass knuckles, bo (staff), sai, kama (2 small sickles), tonfa (shaped like modern day police batons) among many more.
In the movie Budo: The Art of Killing, several different martial art techniques was shown. Some of these techniques are Judo, Karate, Kendo and Aikido. The first one I’m going to talk about is Judo. This Martial Art was created in Japan by Jigoro Kano. Judo means “Gentle Way”, one of the reasons people learn Judo is for self-development. Judo does not include kicking or punching however mostly includes throwing. Secondly, Karate means “empty hands”. Unlike Judo this martial art includes striking, punching, kicking and open hand techniques. Kendo is also a martial art featured in “Budo: The Art of Killing” and taught in history class. This method of martial art means the “The Way of The Sword”. Kendo requires protective amour and bamboo swords. Kendo is considered both a physical and mental activity. In Kendo some places a person can be struck is on top of their helmet, hands, and breastplate. It is common for people to get Kendo and Fencing confused and mixed up. However the difference between the kendo and fencing is that fencing you can choose whichever hand to work with however in Kendo you must use your right hand. Also Kendo is based on Samurai sword fighting while Fencing is based on Knight sword fighting. Their uniforms also differ and also Fencing uses three types of swords which are Epees, Foils, and Sabre while Kendo only uses Bamboo swords. Aikido means “The way of harmony with universal energy”. This martial art uses throws, holds, and locks. Lastly, in my classes I’ve learned that to learn these martial arts effectively one most take what they are doing very seriously.
Journal 2 In a recent video called Judo: The Art of killing they portrayed various arts of fighting taught in the Japanese culture. The first one I could remember was Yabusame. This was a type of mounted archery in traditional Japanese archery. An archer on a running horse shoots three special "turnip-headed" arrows successively at three wooden targets. The next art I remembered was the art of judo. Judo is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lockor a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. A judo practitioner is called a judoka. Another huge art, literally, practiced notably is Sumo wrestling. Sumo is a competitive full-contact wrestling sport where a rikishi (wrestler) attempts to force another wrestler out of a circular ring (dohyō) or to touch the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet. The sport originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally. It is generally considered to be a gendai budō(a modern Japanese martial art). Another most renowned art is karate. Karate is a martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands in what is now Okinawa, Japan. It was developed partially from the indigenous martial arts of Ryukyu Islands literally "hand"; and from Chinese kenpo. Karate is a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes and open hand techniques such as knife-hands, spear-hands, and palm-heel strikes. In some styles, grappling, throws, joint locks, restraints, and vital point strikes are also taught. A karate practitioner is called a karateka. One art I find so interesting is the art of fencing. Fencing is the sport of fighting with swords. The most common version of fencing today, also called olympic fencing orcompetitive fencing, is divided into three weapon categories: foil, sabre and épée. Classical fencing uses the same three weapons, but approaches fencing as a martial art. Last but not least, the art of Aikido. In my perspective this was the most complex art as it relates to controlling the emotional side of fighting. Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Aikido is often translated as "the Way of unifying with life energy or as "the Way of harmonious spirit. Ueshiba's goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attacker from injury. Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. This requires very little physical strength, as the aikidōka (aikido practitioner) "leads" the attacker's momentum using entering and turning movements. The techniques are completed with various throws or joint locks.
In the Japanese movie “Budo: The art of killing”, forms of martial arts were shown and the difference between them. The Samurai’s philosophy was to pledge his life as an act of loyalty. Fencing is derived from Kendo, which means “art of the sword”. The objective of fencing is to avoid the opponent’s sword and reply instantly to his blows. Swords were the main weapon used, however other weapons were created due to the need of people to protect themselves from the violence of the sword. Other weapons included: sickles, nunchucks, brass knuckles, tonfa, etc. Karate means “empty handed”. This art turns the body into a lethal weapon by cruel physical training. The body is converted to steel because it builds resistance to the pain. Judo is an international sport, using simple hand to hand fighting techniques, devised by the unarmed for the purpose of self-defense. The main principle of Judo is throwing the opponent and making them unconscious by pressing tightly on his neck. Yabusame is the traditional Samurai art of archery, using a bow and arrow, while riding on the back of a running horse. Naginata is another form of Budo using wooden staffs. It was practiced by women of Samurai families. This art was more for spiritual beauty rather than physical strength. Aikido is the art which resembles a dance because of the movements. This art of self-defense is done without attacking the opponent. It utilizes forceful throwing of the attacker. Finally, Sumo wrestling is a scuffle match in which wrestlers bump violently at each other until one is forced out of the ring. Sumo is the national sport of Japan. All of these arts are still practiced today. They differ however, one thing they all have in common is that they require discipline, rigorous physical training and mind control. It was quite interesting watching all of these different arts.
In my jujitsu class so far I've learned that most of the different styles of Budo were made for defense against samurais and their weapons, primarily the samurai sword. However, these styles have a lot of varying aspects to them that make them all unique. Before I took the course, I had ambiguous ideas about the differences between judo and jujitsu. However, I know now that judo is more for sport and self-development and doesn't involve striking while jujitsu is about survival and incorporates striking which give the practitioner a completely different intent. These are some subtle differences that a person who isn't practicing the arts may miss. On the other hand, there are some disciplines that have obvious differences such as sumo and aikido. Sumo wrestling is more about brute strength and crashing into one another and stoping an opponents momentum with one's body. However, aikido is about grace, fluidity and using your opponent's momentum against them. Budo can vary in many other ways, even in history and reason for being created. For example, the way of the samurai came about for the protection of the emperor and they used jujitsu for unarmed combat. The men who practiced this were in a high hierarchal class and were revered and feared by those beneath them; mainly peasants. However the peasants developed fighting styles to fend against the oppression of the samurai. These variations produce a culture that is unique and very interesting to me. I hope to learn a lot more over the continuation of the course.
There are many different types of martial arts that are still widely practiced to this day by students across the world who possess a love for the historical past in which martial arts originated from. One of the traditional martial arts is the yabusame is the traditional samurai art of archery while riding a horse. The next art that was created was fencing which branched off from the kendo martial art, the philosophy of fencing was to avoid your opponents’ sword while attempting to counter attack their blows. Another form of martial arts was sumo wrestling. Sumo Wrestling is a competitive full-contact wrestling scuffle match in which sumo wrestler attempts to force another sumo wrestler out of a ring or attempt the to touch the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet. The next art discussed is karate which means empty handed and its works by converting the human body into a lethal weapon. This art requires an extreme amount of skill and technique to train ones body to be able to withstand pain. This art is considered to be a empty handed fighting style that utilize the striking ability of its user to cause harm to their opponent. Naginata was a women's martial art that uses a weapon such as a wooden staffs with blades attach to the end of it. In addition to this the women also wore protective gear that protected the body and face from harmful blows. Judo is an international sport, in which user using open hand to handed fight techniques to defend ones self from potential attacker. This is done in a variety of ways such as throwing your opponent with the hope of seducing your opponent by utilizing throwing and chocking techniques
The movie “Budo: The art of killing” taught us about the different forms of Japanese arts and how they differ from one another. Some of the arts that were shown were, Yamusabi, Kendo, Karate Martial Arts, Judo, Akido and Sumo Wrestling. While they all teach one how to defend and attack they all have different ways of accomplishing it with different techniques. Yamusabi, for instance, is an old art which samurai’s learn archery on a horse. Kendo is fencing which is one learns to avoid opponent sword strikes and counter back almost instantly to his attack. However, Kendo teaches the art for development and competition (A sport) rather than to defend and kill. Karate Martial Arts is the art that teaches one how to lethally attack using no weapons besides his or her own fist and body. This art trains the body to be a lethal weapon and relies on strikes to take his or her opponent down and out. Judo is an art that teaches one how to defend using no weapons as well; however, instead of using the body as a lethal weapon it relies on throwing the opponent and taking them out by choking them until they are unconscious. Like Kendo, Judo teaches the art for development and competition. Akido is an art similar to Judo and Karate in teaching unarm combat, except it relies on using the opponent own strength against them to throw them down in a natural motion which is similar to dancing. Sumo Wrestling is an art that teaches one to use their own strength to push the opponent out of the ring. This art is a sport which is the national sport in Japan.
In the vast world of martial arts, there are many different fighting styles. Mainly, they differ distinctly in their purpose or reason. Therefore, every martial art must have their unique fighting style, attire, and sometimes even weaponry and armory. Based on the documentary film, "Budo", the martial arts demonstrated are; Jujutsu, Judo, Karate, Kenjutsu, Shinto Muso Ryu, Naginatajutsu, and Aikido. Jujutsu takes on different forms. Miyama Ryu being one of them. It is classic defenses against modern attacks. And a flexible art that is gentle. So self-defense techniques must be reasonable but imminent. It differs from others in that, it is not meant or designed to kill or make an opponent unconscious but to make them yield. Judo is different because its main focus is on throwing and grappling. It’s a simple hand to hand fighting technique which is more aggressive. In a controlled or practical environment, its aim is to make the opponent unconscious giving those practicing the art the idea of a life or death situation. But in a realistic situation, to defeat an adversary as a means of self-defense. On the other hand, karate is up a notch. It involves tough training. It's based on first seeing, then using the human body as an object for fighting. Training involves striking hard, and still objects to become tougher. Much of karate is based on mental and spiritual strength. This sets it apart from those mentioned. Kenjutsu, the art of the samurai, is sword fighting. It was also performed while riding a horse in battle. Its aim is to kill the opponent but not for sport. Katanas are used. They are the world's sharpest blade. Spiritual strength is of utmost importance. The starting stance is the squatting position. The aim is to avoid the opponent's sword and reply instantly. Shinto muso ryu is an art of self defense, wielding sticks to defeat an opponent. Naginatajutsu is another form of Judo. However, it is a self-defense method designed for women. Naginata are used, as well as shields. They believe it improves their inner beauty as well as the physical rather than strength or skill. Finally, is Aikido. To throw the opponent both naturally and rationally. It involves step movements resembling a dance and hands outward as a means of defense. Based on the two images shown, the first art illustrated is stick fighting against an attacker with what appears to be a knife. In this situation, it is clearly done for self-defense purposes. The second art illustrated is sword fighting in its practical form. In this situation, it appears to be done for battle rather than self-defense. The first is a straight on attack and the second is a block. In conclusion, the video very well illustrates the many martial arts fighting styles and techniques. How each one uniquely differs and under which circumstance they should be used. However, it's clear that every martial art was made to serve a particular purpose. So in essence, knowing the differences builds a greater appreciation for all martial arts rather than being biased out of ignorance. And helps one to decide which fighting style they would rather primarily pursue based on their individuality or needs.
"Budo: the art of killing," is a video that conveys various marshal arts techniques that were engaged in by the Samurais as a form of defensive tactics.However, although there are numerous amounts of marshal arts styles, they all differ because of their purpose and aim.In the video the marshal arts that were highlighted were ,Judo, Jujutsu, Fencing,Karate, and Yabusame, Kenjutsu , Aikido just to name a few.Judo simply means "gentle" and "do."Judo therefore means the way of gentleness. Judo is a Japanese martial arts style focused on grappling,joint locks, and throws. Jujitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that also focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. Fencing is a type of sword fighting as a means of defending one self because firearms and riffles were not always around. Karate is a Japanese martial arts style focused on punches, hand/elbow strikes, knee strikes and kicks. Yabusame is a type of mounted archery . An archer on a running horse shoots three special "turnip-headed" arrows successively at three wooden targets. Kenjutsu is a Japanese martial arts style focused on sword techniques. In contrast to Kendo, Kenjutsu is less focused on sparring. Continually, the images above demonstrates. Aikido is a Japanese martial arts style focused on redirecting the attack away from you. This art concentrates on throwing , joint locks,and traditional Japanese weapons.Finally, there were many martial arts techniques showed in the video . As well as their purposes and how they are used .
“Budo the Art of Killing” is a documentary on Budo, which is the Martial Arts of Japan. The video highlights the different forms of martial arts; and a commoner’s way of defense against them along with their defense against the Japanese sword. The video also states that the Japanese sword is the symbol of Budo. According to the video all Budo, or martial arts, are derived from the Art of the Samurai. In fact, soldiers were trained in the Arts of the Samurai: Kendo, Kanaido, and Judo for battle in World War II. The video entails the object of the arts fencing, karate, sumo, jujutsu, judo and a few others along with their linkage to the Art of The Samurai. Both in class and from this video I have learned the difference between the martial arts is directly related to the characteristics of the arts themselves. A difference would include the weapon associated with the art, for example the body in Karate, and the sword in Fencing. Also, the object of the art differentiates the arts. (Example; the object of fencing is to avoid the opponent’s sword and to strike immediately after his/her blow). Another difference is that each martial art is either derived from one of the different Samurai arts (such as Yabusan the Samurai art of archery) or another martial art (as Judo comes from Jujutsu). The Naginata is a very different form of the Japanned martial arts; as it appeals, or is distinct to females. In this art a Naginata is used, which is a weapon that s designed to sweep away it opponents; this art was originally used by Japanese women in Calvary battles. The Naginata is an example of how some of the martial arts are named according to their weapons, which also makes the arts different; because they all have different names. Another difference in the art is the reason the art was established, whether it was for Self defense like Jujutsu which is the unarmed at of the Samurai, or for the purpose of battle like Kendo training for WWII. Another example of the differences in martial arts is the of change in a martial art to create something different, like the global transformation of the martial art of Judo, and Sumo (as wresting) into international sports.
I have observed that though these arts have differences, it is important to remember their origin, and similarities. When I keep in mind that all martial arts would have derived from the Arts of the Samurai, it helps me to understand their differences. With this in mind I realized that like the Samurai, all the partakers of the Japanese martial arts undergo daily, rigorous training. But there are different levels of training for each art. A good example would be to those who use weapons. There are basic techniques taught to all the groups of martial arts. But, for those who train to use weaponry, they are only allowed to train with their weapons once they have mastered the basic techniques, and/or other forms of martial arts. However, people who train in karate, or any other art whereas your body is your weapon and defense, would have learned with the basics, all they may have needed to know within the art at the same level of those who train in weaponry. This is why you must train in several of the arts before you go into weaponry based martial arts or you would have to start weapons training from a very young age. All of the arts require physical as well as spiritual training. But, it is obvious that someone training in Kenjutsu, who is training to kill using the Japanese sword, is going to have a slightly different spiritual training than someone who is training to make their body into a weapon. Finally, not all of the arts teach you to kill, whereas the Samurai trained to kill or be killed in order to protect their Lords. Aikido, for example, is the art of self defense and it encourages to retreat and never to attack. I conclude that there are several differences between the martial arts. Though they are all derived from the way of the Samurai, they all take different approaches to this art, and they all have different ways of incorporating this art to their unique forms of the martial arts. Budo is all martial arts; these arts all train differently; teaches with different objectives, use different weapons, form as and techniques. These are the differences of the martial arts, of Budo; Jujutsu, Sumo, Aikido, Kenjutsu, and much more.
In jujisu we learned about different types of martial arts and their origins. In the movie ‘Budo: The Art of Killing’. We are given full demonstrations along with narrations of each art. The movie as in class teaches us how to strategize each move. Also it teaches you first hand that you must not practice these arts foolishly as you can injure yourself and your opponent. Yamusabi is the art of the Samari which includes archery. It is different from other arts because it is done while riding on a horse. Fencing was derived from the art of Kendo which means “art of the sword” The objective is to avoid the enemy’s sword. The next art discussed is karate, the empty handed. The way in which karate works is by converting the human body into a lethal weapon. This is where the student has to learn to be painless by constantly training his body to not react to pain. It differs from other arts because it is executed empty handed and uses strikes instead of throws. The art of Judo purpose is to defend the unarmed by using throws. This differs from the other arts because it teaches you like karate to train your body to be a lethal weapon. Unlike karate however it consists of a lot of throws. Akido is an art similar to Judo and Karate whereas it teaches you in teaching unarmed combat, however it relies on using your enemies strength against them to and throw them down in a motion which is similar to dancing. From the movie as in class we see that there lies a similarity as well as differences but all has its own beauty.
What Is To Difference Between the Types of Marital Arts?
The marital arts consist of a plethora of divisions to which have their own set of branches. However, this composition will only highlight the types of marital arts demonstrated in the film “The Killing Art of Budo, 1978.” Budo is a Japanese term used to describe martial arts. It’s used nearly exclusively in reference to Japanese martial arts. These include Ju-Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Karate, Kendo, Fencing, Sumo, and Yabusame. Ju-Jitsu is a self-defence system whose techniques and skills are directly derived from the Japanese Samurai. Compared to other Budo, Jujitsu more of a grappling, ground fighting structure. The objective is to make your opponent submit through joint locks e.g. Arm bar or Kimura. You can also choke your opponent out by getting in a dominant position and using a combination of arms and or legs to choke them. If your opponent "taps out", to signal his or her submission or you carry out a proper pin; the match is over. Judo on the other hand is unarmed combat sport derived from jujitsu. It is intended to discipline the body and the mind. Though similar to Jujitsu, Judo is more concerned with using leverage and balance to throw their opponent. There are no punches, no kicks, and all throws. Judo no longer resembles wrestling but is similar to the sport Braizlian Jujitsu. Unlike Jujitsu and Judo, Aikido uses opponent’s own momentum and strength to throw the body naturally. Aikido conveys a force rather than blocking it. The objective is to never engaging strength against strength. Aikido is about defence rather than attack.
Another form of Budo is Karate. There are many different forms of Karate such as Shotokan, Gen-wa-ki, and Kempo. Karate unlike the previous Budo discussed, usually incorporates weapons training. Karate implements traditional Budo weapons such as the Staff and Nunchaku. Also in comparison to the other the divisions of Budo, Empty hand Karate employs punching and kicking and serious training that strengthens or toughen the entire body, making the body itself a weapon.
Kendo meaning the way of the sword, is sword fighting Budo which also uses sticks made of bamboo as swords. Not only must the opponents be physically shape but also mentally. One mistakes by the opponent could easily seriously injure their adversary. Players must shield their face and body with protective armour.
Similar to Kendo the Olympic sport Fencing also employs swords. In the competitive sport fencing there are three weapon categories: foil, sabre and épée. In fencing the opponents must be able to move quickly on their feet striking their adversary anywhere from their torso to the neck. Sumo is a very popular Japanese style of wrestling and it is also Japan's national sport. It was created in ancient times as a performance to entertain the Shinto deities. The first wrestler who exists the ring or touches the ground with any part of his body apart from the soles of his feet loses. Matches take place on an elevated ring called the dohyo, which is covered in a layer of sand. A contest tends to lasts only for a few seconds, but in rare cases can take a minute or more. There are no weight restrictions or classes in sumo. This means a wrestlers could be matched off against someone ten times their size. Consequently, gaining weight is an imperative part of sumo training. Yabusame another traditional Japanese sport consists of an archer mounted on a horse. The archer must ride the horse while aiming and striking the wooden target. The arrows they use have special turnip-headed. The list of Budo extends beyond what was discussed. Those they differ in so many ways, they all succeed in teaching discipline for both the mind and the body. .
In the video Budo- The Art of Killing there are many forms of martial arts shown to us, It is clear that they are all not alike and share some differences. Special points I noted rom the video was that of the samurais saw it as a glorious thing to sacrifice their life for heir master. Also that the Japanese blade happens to be the sharpest in the world. Firstly Judo meaning "gentle way" is more of a sport. Judo is mostly based on the element of competition, the objective is to throw or take-down their opponent to the ground and pin them and force submission. Secondly Kendo meaning "way of the sword" is a form of martial arts descending from Kenjutsu. In this practice bamboo swords are use to practice with and the users must be physically and mentally inclined. Fencing is a derivative of the "way of the sword" Kendo. fencing is the sport of fighting with swords. Next Karate do in the video is described as where the user turns his body into a physical weapon. The user does this by constant practice enduring pain and developing a high level on pain tolerance and focus. Karate is a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes, and open hand techniques such as knife strikes, spear-hands, and palm-heel strikes. In some styles grappling, throws, joint locks, and restraints and vital points are also taught. Jujutsu is a martial art and a method of close combat for defeating an armed or armored opponent in which one uses no weapon or only a short weapon. lastly yamusabi is a form of martial arts practiced by shooting targets with arrows on the back of moving horses. The video entitle Budo-The art of killing was very informative on some of the other types of martial arts.
Yamabushi is the traditional samurai art of archery; archers shoot arrows while riding on a horse. It differs from other arts because it is done while riding on a horse also it is not hand to hand like the other arts. The art of fencing, the objective of fencing is to avoid the opponent’s sword and counter instantly with an attack of your own. The art of Karate which means empty handed is another traditional art practiced and done by converting the human body into a lethal weapon. It differs from other arts because it is executed with empty handed combat this art focus more on striking the opponent rather than throwing. This art requires more physical training than the other arts, the training is extremely challenging because it trains the body to withstand physical pain. The next art is the art of Judo which sole purpose is to teach how to defend by the use of throwing, unlike the other arts Judo teaches how defend by either a throw or takedown of opponent to the ground, immobilize or to subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. The next art is naginata which is a weapon in which the opponent is swept away. This art is usually practiced by the women in the Japanese society. Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. This requires very little physical strength the objective is to use a person’s momentum against them. Sumo the objective of this art is to force another wrestler out of a circular ring dohyō or to touch the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet. The sport originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally.
“Budo: The art of killing” presents, explains and demonstrates the different forms of famous Japanese Martial Arts. Among these arts are Karate, Sumo, Judo, Aikido, Yabusame, and Naginata. While the film demonstrates these arts being physically played out, it also gives a short background of the art as well as explaining what it is all about. Karate is the one that I remember most vividly as it was not just physical training, but also a training of the mind. The narrator spoke of how in learning karate, one must train the body to no feel pain, and through this, one can surpass the average level of strength. This demonstrated through many different ways, one of which was the demonstrator slicing the tops straight off glass bottles, another was the classic breaking the bricks. Yabusame is an art that is performed on horseback. While on horseback, they aim for targets using a bow and arrow. Another featured martial art is Kendo, meaning “way of the sword”. This can be compared to western “fencing” in that armor is worn but the exception is that a wooden staff with a blade on the end is used. Sumo is another martial art presented in Budo. Sumo consists of full bodily contact. The opponents must attempt to force the other opponent out of the ring or at least knock them off balance so that they fall to the ground. Aikido is viewed as a harmonious martial art. The nature of Aikido is to combine the attacker’s motion along with channeling the energy or force of that motion into something else as a defensive tactic. This is more subtle and harmonious than attacking back directly. Finally, the martial art and Olympic sport of Judo. Judo takes on a more head on, direct approach. Judo is more offensive as the goal is the take the attacker or opponent down using a choke, or just pin them down as a means of subduing them. In judo, the two opponents are using their hands and feet as weapons as appose to the other arts mentioned where weapons are involved.
In the video Budo: "The art of killing" many forms of martial arts are displayed, practiced and explained. One form shown that is popular to this day is fencing formally known as "Kendo". It is the act of sword fighting made into a recreational sport in this modern age. Aikido is another art displayed in the documentary. It is a truly intriguing art as it can almost be defined as flowing. Attacks are redirected back and forth almost as a dance as opposed to combat. Yabusame is also seen in the video. It is the art of archery from horseback. Another art displayed in the video is karate which involves mainly strikes, and attacks. It also shows the importance of training the body to tolerate pain and thus turning it into a lethal weapon. This documentary shows the lethality of each fighting style and the dangers of practicing it. It shows the importance of safe, formal training and also the effectiveness of each art.
Matio Cleare Budo is the Japanese martial arts and it can be broken down into Kendo, Karatedo, aikido, and Judo. Kendo means the way if the sword. During practice of Kendo, the object is to avoid attacks by the opponent blade and return blows to the opponent. When real swords are used in Kendo, great skill is required or death is certain. The belief of the samurai was that he should know how to handle the sword to have spiritual power, and be fearless in the face of battle. The mission of the samurai was to defend their masters from attack, but only the warrior class was allowed to use the swords. The others had to be creative as they used various weapons like the Tatami tempai, Nicho goma, and Nun chuck. Another form of Budo is Karate which literally means the empty handed, which is a fighting style completely different to Kendo (sword fighting). In Karate the participant turns their body into a weapon through cruel physical training. This process to obtain mastery is long and tedious and the training is never over. Like Karate, Judo is a hand to hand fighting technique (again unlike Kendo’s use of swords) devised for the unarmed for the purpose of self protection. The main object in Judo is to throw opponent and knock them unconscious while he is on the floor. Unlike Karate, Judo focuses on both the mind and body because the mind must be adaptable to the training with the body. In Judo discouragement is defeat of the mind. Judo is an international sport and is certified by the Olympics as a sport.Another form of Budo is the Naginata, which is a primarily female form of fighting where the Naginata blade is used. This Budo may be similar to Kendo because they both use weapons, but it is unique in the fact that women are the majority participants and they seek spiritual beauty rather than physical strength. Aikido is the final Budo that we were able to see, and this involved a completely different form than all other forms of fighting. Aikido is unique because it is the art of self defense without attacking opponent. The user of Aikido attempts to use his opponents own force against him.
Judo is the art of hand to hand combat, that is basically comprised of defensive techniques. This is done with certain throws and neck presses, that aid in knocking out the opponent. This technique is called "Otosi". This art is a descendent of Jujutsu, which is also a defensive art, that is used for self defense. Jujutsu, although empty handed, can include short weapons. Some forms of judo includes weapons, such as the Naginata, which is a long staff, with a bladed tip. these were used in feudal Japan by foot soldiers and warrior monks. These, in the hands of a skilled practitioner, were very effective against samurai, as it increased distance, allowing an upper hand. Another fighting style is Aikido, which is said to resemble an individual dancing. it is the art of self defense by attacking, without attacking. It is comprised of using ones opponents strength against them self. Yabusame is the art of archery from the back of a horse. Today it has been made into a sport of marksmanship, but back in the Kamakura period, it was started when Minamoto no Yoritomo had become shocked by the lack of archery related skills his samurai had. This art was formed as a means of practice. Another form would be fencing, which comprises of two combatants facing off with swords, who rely much on dodging and reacting, much like samurai. This art uses real swords. Those in feudal Japan who could not afford swords, and weapons of the like were brought down to wield Boar skin, which would be effective in fighting samurai, sickles, sai's staffs and nunchucks.
Karate is the first art I will discuss, karate means “empty handed” karate transforms the human body as a weapon. Instead of throws like the other arts, Karate uses their hands. Hence the type of workout is more intense because the body must adapt to pain. Yabusame is the next art I will discuss. This art is known as a mounted archery. The archer is on a running horse and shoots threw special arrows at three wooden targets. what makes It different because they are on a ridding horse. Judo is a very popular art Judo is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint locker a choke. Fencing came from Kendo, which means “art of the sword”. The objective of fencing is to avoid the opponent’s sword and reply instantly to his blows. Swords were the main weapon used, however other weapons were created due to the need of people to protect themselves from the violence of the sword. The art of Aikido. In my opinion this is the most complex art as it relates to controlling the emotional side of fighting. Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Aikido is often translated as "the Way of unifying with life energy or as "the Way of harmonious spirit.
This site is really cool! I found here alot of information that I was looking for. I am really happy to be a part of This site! omegaworldreview-education
The first art that I am going to discuss is called yamusabi the traditional samurai art of archery while riding a horse . It differs from other arts because it is done while riding on a horse. The next art which was derived from kendo was fencing, the object is to avoid the opponents sword and reply instantly to his blows. The difference is it is done for sport. The next art discussed is karate which means empty handed and its works by converting the human body into a lethal weapon. It differs from other arts because it is executed empty handed and uses strikes instead of throws. The training is extremely hard because it trains the body to be able to withstand pain. The next art discussed is the art of Judo whose purpose is to defend the un armed by using throws. The difference is it uses the persons relies on throws and ultimately try to choke the person out . The next art is naganata. It is a weapon in which the opponent is swept away, the difference between this and the other arts is it is peculiar to the japanese woman. The next art discussed is ikudo. The difference is the way to attack someone is to use there own strength against them and to throw them quite naturally also the basic moves looks like a dance. The next art is the art of sumo wrestling this art differs from the others because its purpose is to push the other individual out the ring through the use of force. Sumo wrestling is the national sport of Japan.
ReplyDeleteThe different types of martial arts were practiced by samurais. They used different weapons and tactics in each martial art. Yamusabi is a samurai art of archery. It is the shooting of arrows from a bow while riding a horse. Another art is fencing, which was branched off from kendo. Fencing requires an extreme amount of skill and technique. Also a next art is karate also known as “empty handed.” Practicing karate turns your whole body into steel and making it into a deadly weapon. This art is executed empty handed and uses strikes instead of throws. The training is extremely difficult because it trains the body to be able to withstand pain. Next is the art of Judo. The moral of judo is to defend the unarmed by using throws and making them unconscious with a tight hold. Judo is participated as an international sport. The art of naganata is for woman the moral of this particular art is that it is a weapon in which the opponent is swept away. The next art is Aikido. Akido moral is the art of self protection. The art is used to attack someone using their own strength against them and to throw them quite naturally. Also the moves looks like a dance. The final art is the art of sumo wrestling this art differs from the others because its purpose is to push the other individual out the ring through the use of force. Sumo wrestling is the national sport of Japan.
ReplyDeleteBudo the art of killing is a Japanese movie about the different forms of martial arts and Japanese culture. It was a very interesting movie as it not only showed the different types of martial arts (some I never heard of before) but it also talked about the philosophies and reasoning behind the different styles and their relation to Japanese culture then and now. Some forms of martial arts that were mentioned were sumo wrestling, judo, yabusame (archery from a mounted, running horse), aikido, fencing, bhutan karate and naginata. In judo it was more of a sporting event with a lot of throws. Some throws depicted were a shoulder throw a side throw and a head throw. Aikido was the art of using your opponent’s force against them. It is really graceful it looked like a dance of some sort. Naginata was more of a women's martial art. It was one that used a weapon which were wooden staffs with blades on the end. The women would train with this in a similar way someone would train with fencing in that the body and face was covered by protective gear. Karate was a form of martial arts that did not use any weapons. It was the empty handed art and it utilized strikes rather than throws. A person training in karate would train and make their body like steel because they would be constantly hitting tree trunks and other objects to build up resistance to the pain and to make them stronger. Japanese fencing or kendo differs from the fencing of the western world. A fencer would start by squatting then attack whereas in the western world they just attacked with the practice sword. Archery from a running horse was also quite interesting. It seems similar to jousting but instead of spears bows are used. These bows had an end that looked like a fist and it was shot at hollow ceramic plate like objects filled with confetti. Not only were martial arts spoken on, they also talked about the samurai and their beliefs. The samurai’s philosophy was to sacrifice one’s life for their master. To them this was their ultimate goal and dream. It was also said that the symbol of Budo was a sword and the national sport of japan was sumo wrestling. Some lower class weapons mentioned that persons used against the samurai were nunchacku, brass knuckles, bo (staff), sai, kama (2 small sickles), tonfa (shaped like modern day police batons) among many more.
ReplyDeleteIn the movie Budo: The Art of Killing, several different martial art techniques was shown. Some of these techniques are Judo, Karate, Kendo and Aikido. The first one I’m going to talk about is Judo. This Martial Art was created in Japan by Jigoro Kano. Judo means “Gentle Way”, one of the reasons people learn Judo is for self-development. Judo does not include kicking or punching however mostly includes throwing. Secondly, Karate means “empty hands”. Unlike Judo this martial art includes striking, punching, kicking and open hand techniques. Kendo is also a martial art featured in “Budo: The Art of Killing” and taught in history class. This method of martial art means the “The Way of The Sword”. Kendo requires protective amour and bamboo swords. Kendo is considered both a physical and mental activity. In Kendo some places a person can be struck is on top of their helmet, hands, and breastplate. It is common for people to get Kendo and Fencing confused and mixed up. However the difference between the kendo and fencing is that fencing you can choose whichever hand to work with however in Kendo you must use your right hand. Also Kendo is based on Samurai sword fighting while Fencing is based on Knight sword fighting. Their uniforms also differ and also Fencing uses three types of swords which are Epees, Foils, and Sabre while Kendo only uses Bamboo swords. Aikido means “The way of harmony with universal energy”. This martial art uses throws, holds, and locks. Lastly, in my classes I’ve learned that to learn these martial arts effectively one most take what they are doing very seriously.

ReplyDeleteIn a recent video called Judo: The Art of killing they portrayed various arts of fighting taught in the Japanese culture. The first one I could remember was Yabusame. This was a type of mounted archery in traditional Japanese archery. An archer on a running horse shoots three special "turnip-headed" arrows successively at three wooden targets. The next art I remembered was the art of judo. Judo is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lockor a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. A judo practitioner is called a judoka. Another huge art, literally, practiced notably is Sumo wrestling. Sumo is a competitive full-contact wrestling sport where a rikishi (wrestler) attempts to force another wrestler out of a circular ring (dohyō) or to touch the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet. The sport originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally. It is generally considered to be a gendai budō(a modern Japanese martial art). Another most renowned art is karate. Karate is a martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands in what is now Okinawa, Japan. It was developed partially from the indigenous martial arts of Ryukyu Islands literally "hand"; and from Chinese kenpo. Karate is a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes and open hand techniques such as knife-hands, spear-hands, and palm-heel strikes. In some styles, grappling, throws, joint locks, restraints, and vital point strikes are also taught. A karate practitioner is called a karateka. One art I find so interesting is the art of fencing. Fencing is the sport of fighting with swords. The most common version of fencing today, also called olympic fencing orcompetitive fencing, is divided into three weapon categories: foil, sabre and épée. Classical fencing uses the same three weapons, but approaches fencing as a martial art. Last but not least, the art of Aikido. In my perspective this was the most complex art as it relates to controlling the emotional side of fighting. Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Aikido is often translated as "the Way of unifying with life energy or as "the Way of harmonious spirit. Ueshiba's goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attacker from injury. Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. This requires very little physical strength, as the aikidōka (aikido practitioner) "leads" the attacker's momentum using entering and turning movements. The techniques are completed with various throws or joint locks.
In the Japanese movie “Budo: The art of killing”, forms of martial arts were shown and the difference between them. The Samurai’s philosophy was to pledge his life as an act of loyalty.
ReplyDeleteFencing is derived from Kendo, which means “art of the sword”. The objective of fencing is to avoid the opponent’s sword and reply instantly to his blows. Swords were the main weapon used, however other weapons were created due to the need of people to protect themselves from the violence of the sword. Other weapons included: sickles, nunchucks, brass knuckles, tonfa, etc. Karate means “empty handed”. This art turns the body into a lethal weapon by cruel physical training. The body is converted to steel because it builds resistance to the pain. Judo is an international sport, using simple hand to hand fighting techniques, devised by the unarmed for the purpose of self-defense. The main principle of Judo is throwing the opponent and making them unconscious by pressing tightly on his neck. Yabusame is the traditional Samurai art of archery, using a bow and arrow, while riding on the back of a running horse. Naginata is another form of Budo using wooden staffs. It was practiced by women of Samurai families. This art was more for spiritual beauty rather than physical strength. Aikido is the art which resembles a dance because of the movements. This art of self-defense is done without attacking the opponent. It utilizes forceful throwing of the attacker. Finally, Sumo wrestling is a scuffle match in which wrestlers bump violently at each other until one is forced out of the ring. Sumo is the national sport of Japan.
All of these arts are still practiced today. They differ however, one thing they all have in common is that they require discipline, rigorous physical training and mind control. It was quite interesting watching all of these different arts.
In my jujitsu class so far I've learned that most of the different styles of Budo were made for defense against samurais and their weapons, primarily the samurai sword. However, these styles have a lot of varying aspects to them that make them all unique. Before I took the course, I had ambiguous ideas about the differences between judo and jujitsu. However, I know now that judo is more for sport and self-development and doesn't involve striking while jujitsu is about survival and incorporates striking which give the practitioner a completely different intent. These are some subtle differences that a person who isn't practicing the arts may miss. On the other hand, there are some disciplines that have obvious differences such as sumo and aikido. Sumo wrestling is more about brute strength and crashing into one another and stoping an opponents momentum with one's body. However, aikido is about grace, fluidity and using your opponent's momentum against them. Budo can vary in many other ways, even in history and reason for being created. For example, the way of the samurai came about for the protection of the emperor and they used jujitsu for unarmed combat. The men who practiced this were in a high hierarchal class and were revered and feared by those beneath them; mainly peasants. However the peasants developed fighting styles to fend against the oppression of the samurai. These variations produce a culture that is unique and very interesting to me. I hope to learn a lot more over the continuation of the course.
ReplyDeleteThere are many different types of martial arts that are still widely practiced to this day by students across the world who possess a love for the historical past in which martial arts originated from. One of the traditional martial arts is the yabusame is the traditional samurai art of archery while riding a horse. The next art that was created was fencing which branched off from the kendo martial art, the philosophy of fencing was to avoid your opponents’ sword while attempting to counter attack their blows. Another form of martial arts was sumo wrestling. Sumo Wrestling is a competitive full-contact wrestling scuffle match in which sumo wrestler attempts to force another sumo wrestler out of a ring or attempt the to touch the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet. The next art discussed is karate which means empty handed and its works by converting the human body into a lethal weapon. This art requires an extreme amount of skill and technique to train ones body to be able to withstand pain. This art is considered to be a empty handed fighting style that utilize the striking ability of its user to cause harm to their opponent. Naginata was a women's martial art that uses a weapon such as a wooden staffs with blades attach to the end of it. In addition to this the women also wore protective gear that protected the body and face from harmful blows. Judo is an international sport, in which user using open hand to handed fight techniques to defend ones self from potential attacker. This is done in a variety of ways such as throwing your opponent with the hope of seducing your opponent by utilizing throwing and chocking techniques
ReplyDeleteThe movie “Budo: The art of killing” taught us about the different forms of Japanese arts and how they differ from one another. Some of the arts that were shown were, Yamusabi, Kendo, Karate Martial Arts, Judo, Akido and Sumo Wrestling. While they all teach one how to defend and attack they all have different ways of accomplishing it with different techniques. Yamusabi, for instance, is an old art which samurai’s learn archery on a horse. Kendo is fencing which is one learns to avoid opponent sword strikes and counter back almost instantly to his attack. However, Kendo teaches the art for development and competition (A sport) rather than to defend and kill. Karate Martial Arts is the art that teaches one how to lethally attack using no weapons besides his or her own fist and body. This art trains the body to be a lethal weapon and relies on strikes to take his or her opponent down and out. Judo is an art that teaches one how to defend using no weapons as well; however, instead of using the body as a lethal weapon it relies on throwing the opponent and taking them out by choking them until they are unconscious. Like Kendo, Judo teaches the art for development and competition. Akido is an art similar to Judo and Karate in teaching unarm combat, except it relies on using the opponent own strength against them to throw them down in a natural motion which is similar to dancing. Sumo Wrestling is an art that teaches one to use their own strength to push the opponent out of the ring. This art is a sport which is the national sport in Japan.

ReplyDeleteDifferences between the Martial Arts
ReplyDeleteIn the vast world of martial arts, there are many different fighting styles. Mainly, they differ distinctly in their purpose or reason. Therefore, every martial art must have their unique fighting style, attire, and sometimes even weaponry and armory. Based on the documentary film, "Budo", the martial arts demonstrated are; Jujutsu, Judo, Karate, Kenjutsu, Shinto Muso Ryu, Naginatajutsu, and Aikido.
Jujutsu takes on different forms. Miyama Ryu being one of them. It is classic defenses against modern attacks. And a flexible art that is gentle. So self-defense techniques must be reasonable but imminent. It differs from others in that, it is not meant or designed to kill or make an opponent unconscious but to make them yield. Judo is different because its main focus is on throwing and grappling. It’s a simple hand to hand fighting technique which is more aggressive. In a controlled or practical environment, its aim is to make the opponent unconscious giving those practicing the art the idea of a life or death situation. But in a realistic situation, to defeat an adversary as a means of self-defense. On the other hand, karate is up a notch. It involves tough training. It's based on first seeing, then using the human body as an object for fighting. Training involves striking hard, and still objects to become tougher. Much of karate is based on mental and spiritual strength. This sets it apart from those mentioned. Kenjutsu, the art of the samurai, is sword fighting. It was also performed while riding a horse in battle. Its aim is to kill the opponent but not for sport. Katanas are used. They are the world's sharpest blade. Spiritual strength is of utmost importance. The starting stance is the squatting position. The aim is to avoid the opponent's sword and reply instantly. Shinto muso ryu is an art of self defense, wielding sticks to defeat an opponent. Naginatajutsu is another form of Judo. However, it is a self-defense method designed for women. Naginata are used, as well as shields. They believe it improves their inner beauty as well as the physical rather than strength or skill. Finally, is Aikido. To throw the opponent both naturally and rationally. It involves step movements resembling a dance and hands outward as a means of defense.
Based on the two images shown, the first art illustrated is stick fighting against an attacker with what appears to be a knife. In this situation, it is clearly done for self-defense purposes. The second art illustrated is sword fighting in its practical form. In this situation, it appears to be done for battle rather than self-defense. The first is a straight on attack and the second is a block.
In conclusion, the video very well illustrates the many martial arts fighting styles and techniques. How each one uniquely differs and under which circumstance they should be used. However, it's clear that every martial art was made to serve a particular purpose. So in essence, knowing the differences builds a greater appreciation for all martial arts rather than being biased out of ignorance. And helps one to decide which fighting style they would rather primarily pursue based on their individuality or needs.
"Budo: the art of killing," is a video that conveys various marshal arts techniques that were engaged in by the Samurais as a form of defensive tactics.However, although there are numerous amounts of marshal arts styles, they all differ because of their purpose and aim.In the video the marshal arts that were highlighted were ,Judo, Jujutsu, Fencing,Karate, and Yabusame, Kenjutsu , Aikido just to name a few.Judo simply means "gentle" and "do."Judo therefore means the way of gentleness. Judo is a Japanese martial arts style focused on grappling,joint locks, and throws. Jujitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that also focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. Fencing is a type of sword fighting as a means of defending one self because firearms and riffles were not always around. Karate is a Japanese martial arts style focused on punches, hand/elbow strikes, knee strikes and kicks. Yabusame is a type of mounted archery . An archer on a running horse shoots three special "turnip-headed" arrows successively at three wooden targets. Kenjutsu is a Japanese martial arts style focused on sword techniques. In contrast to Kendo, Kenjutsu is less focused on sparring. Continually, the images above demonstrates. Aikido is a Japanese martial arts style focused on redirecting the attack away from you. This art concentrates on throwing , joint locks,and traditional Japanese weapons.Finally, there were many martial arts techniques showed in the video . As well as their purposes and how they are used .
ReplyDelete“Budo the Art of Killing” is a documentary on Budo, which is the Martial Arts of Japan. The video highlights the different forms of martial arts; and a commoner’s way of defense against them along with their defense against the Japanese sword. The video also states that the Japanese sword is the symbol of Budo. According to the video all Budo, or martial arts, are derived from the Art of the Samurai. In fact, soldiers were trained in the Arts of the Samurai: Kendo, Kanaido, and Judo for battle in World War II. The video entails the object of the arts fencing, karate, sumo, jujutsu, judo and a few others along with their linkage to the Art of The Samurai.
ReplyDeleteBoth in class and from this video I have learned the difference between the martial arts is directly related to the characteristics of the arts themselves. A difference would include the weapon associated with the art, for example the body in Karate, and the sword in Fencing. Also, the object of the art differentiates the arts. (Example; the object of fencing is to avoid the opponent’s sword and to strike immediately after his/her blow). Another difference is that each martial art is either derived from one of the different Samurai arts (such as Yabusan the Samurai art of archery) or another martial art (as Judo comes from Jujutsu). The Naginata is a very different form of the Japanned martial arts; as it appeals, or is distinct to females. In this art a Naginata is used, which is a weapon that s designed to sweep away it opponents; this art was originally used by Japanese women in Calvary battles. The Naginata is an example of how some of the martial arts are named according to their weapons, which also makes the arts different; because they all have different names. Another difference in the art is the reason the art was established, whether it was for Self defense like Jujutsu which is the unarmed at of the Samurai, or for the purpose of battle like Kendo training for WWII. Another example of the differences in martial arts is the of change in a martial art to create something different, like the global transformation of the martial art of Judo, and Sumo (as wresting) into international sports.
I have observed that though these arts have differences, it is important to remember their origin, and similarities. When I keep in mind that all martial arts would have derived from the Arts of the Samurai, it helps me to understand their differences. With this in mind I realized that like the Samurai, all the partakers of the Japanese martial arts undergo daily, rigorous training. But there are different levels of training for each art. A good example would be to those who use weapons. There are basic techniques taught to all the groups of martial arts. But, for those who train to use weaponry, they are only allowed to train with their weapons once they have mastered the basic techniques, and/or other forms of martial arts. However, people who train in karate, or any other art whereas your body is your weapon and defense, would have learned with the basics, all they may have needed to know within the art at the same level of those who train in weaponry. This is why you must train in several of the arts before you go into weaponry based martial arts or you would have to start weapons training from a very young age. All of the arts require physical as well as spiritual training. But, it is obvious that someone training in Kenjutsu, who is training to kill using the Japanese sword, is going to have a slightly different spiritual training than someone who is training to make their body into a weapon. Finally, not all of the arts teach you to kill, whereas the Samurai trained to kill or be killed in order to protect their Lords. Aikido, for example, is the art of self defense and it encourages to retreat and never to attack.
ReplyDeleteI conclude that there are several differences between the martial arts. Though they are all derived from the way of the Samurai, they all take different approaches to this art, and they all have different ways of incorporating this art to their unique forms of the martial arts. Budo is all martial arts; these arts all train differently; teaches with different objectives, use different weapons, form as and techniques. These are the differences of the martial arts, of Budo; Jujutsu, Sumo, Aikido, Kenjutsu, and much more.

ReplyDeleteIn jujisu we learned about different types of martial arts and their origins. In the movie ‘Budo: The Art of Killing’. We are given full demonstrations along with narrations of each art. The movie as in class teaches us how to strategize each move. Also it teaches you first hand that you must not practice these arts foolishly as you can injure yourself and your opponent.
ReplyDeleteYamusabi is the art of the Samari which includes archery. It is different from other arts because it is done while riding on a horse. Fencing was derived from the art of Kendo which means “art of the sword” The objective is to avoid the enemy’s sword. The next art discussed is karate, the empty handed. The way in which karate works is by converting the human body into a lethal weapon. This is where the student has to learn to be painless by constantly training his body to not react to pain. It differs from other arts because it is executed empty handed and uses strikes instead of throws. The art of Judo purpose is to defend the unarmed by using throws. This differs from the other arts because it teaches you like karate to train your body to be a lethal weapon. Unlike karate however it consists of a lot of throws. Akido is an art similar to Judo and Karate whereas it teaches you in teaching unarmed combat, however it relies on using your enemies strength against them to and throw them down in a motion which is similar to dancing.
From the movie as in class we see that there lies a similarity as well as differences but all has its own beauty.
What Is To Difference Between the Types of Marital Arts?
ReplyDeleteThe marital arts consist of a plethora of divisions to which have their own set of branches. However, this composition will only highlight the types of marital arts demonstrated in the film “The Killing Art of Budo, 1978.” Budo is a Japanese term used to describe martial arts. It’s used nearly exclusively in reference to Japanese martial arts. These include Ju-Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Karate, Kendo, Fencing, Sumo, and Yabusame.
Ju-Jitsu is a self-defence system whose techniques and skills are directly derived from the Japanese Samurai. Compared to other Budo, Jujitsu more of a grappling, ground fighting structure. The objective is to make your opponent submit through joint locks e.g. Arm bar or Kimura. You can also choke your opponent out by getting in a dominant position and using a combination of arms and or legs to choke them. If your opponent "taps out", to signal his or her submission or you carry out a proper pin; the match is over.
Judo on the other hand is unarmed combat sport derived from jujitsu. It is intended to discipline the body and the mind. Though similar to Jujitsu, Judo is more concerned with using leverage and balance to throw their opponent. There are no punches, no kicks, and all throws. Judo no longer resembles wrestling but is similar to the sport Braizlian Jujitsu.
Unlike Jujitsu and Judo, Aikido uses opponent’s own momentum and strength to throw the body naturally. Aikido conveys a force rather than blocking it. The objective is to never engaging strength against strength. Aikido is about defence rather than attack.
Another form of Budo is Karate. There are many different forms of Karate such as Shotokan, Gen-wa-ki, and Kempo. Karate unlike the previous Budo discussed, usually incorporates weapons training. Karate implements traditional Budo weapons such as the Staff and Nunchaku. Also in comparison to the other the divisions of Budo, Empty hand Karate employs punching and kicking and serious training that strengthens or toughen the entire body, making the body itself a weapon.
Kendo meaning the way of the sword, is sword fighting Budo which also uses sticks made of bamboo as swords. Not only must the opponents be physically shape but also mentally. One mistakes by the opponent could easily seriously injure their adversary. Players must shield their face and body with protective armour.
Similar to Kendo the Olympic sport Fencing also employs swords. In the competitive sport fencing there are three weapon categories: foil, sabre and épée. In fencing the opponents must be able to move quickly on their feet striking their adversary anywhere from their torso to the neck.
Sumo is a very popular Japanese style of wrestling and it is also Japan's national sport. It was created in ancient times as a performance to entertain the Shinto deities. The first wrestler who exists the ring or touches the ground with any part of his body apart from the soles of his feet loses. Matches take place on an elevated ring called the dohyo, which is covered in a layer of sand. A contest tends to lasts only for a few seconds, but in rare cases can take a minute or more. There are no weight restrictions or classes in sumo. This means a wrestlers could be matched off against someone ten times their size. Consequently, gaining weight is an imperative part of sumo training.
Yabusame another traditional Japanese sport consists of an archer mounted on a horse. The archer must ride the horse while aiming and striking the wooden target. The arrows they use have special turnip-headed.
The list of Budo extends beyond what was discussed. Those they differ in so many ways, they all succeed in teaching discipline for both the mind and the body.
.
In the video Budo- The Art of Killing there are many forms of martial arts shown to us, It is clear that they are all not alike and share some differences. Special points I noted rom the video was that of the samurais saw it as a glorious thing to sacrifice their life for heir master. Also that the Japanese blade happens to be the sharpest in the world. Firstly Judo meaning "gentle way" is more of a sport. Judo is mostly based on the element of competition, the objective is to throw or take-down their opponent to the ground and pin them and force submission. Secondly Kendo meaning "way of the sword" is a form of martial arts descending from Kenjutsu. In this practice bamboo swords are use to practice with and the users must be physically and mentally inclined. Fencing is a derivative of the "way of the sword" Kendo. fencing is the sport of fighting with swords. Next Karate do in the video is described as where the user turns his body into a physical weapon. The user does this by constant practice enduring pain and developing a high level on pain tolerance and focus. Karate is a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes, and open hand techniques such as knife strikes, spear-hands, and palm-heel strikes. In some styles grappling, throws, joint locks, and restraints and vital points are also taught. Jujutsu is a martial art and a method of close combat for defeating an armed or armored opponent in which one uses no weapon or only a short weapon. lastly yamusabi is a form of martial arts practiced by shooting targets with arrows on the back of moving horses. The video entitle Budo-The art of killing was very informative on some of the other types of martial arts.
ReplyDeleteYamabushi is the traditional samurai art of archery; archers shoot arrows while riding on a horse. It differs from other arts because it is done while riding on a horse also it is not hand to hand like the other arts. The art of fencing, the objective of fencing is to avoid the opponent’s sword and counter instantly with an attack of your own. The art of Karate which means empty handed is another traditional art practiced and done by converting the human body into a lethal weapon. It differs from other arts because it is executed with empty handed combat this art focus more on striking the opponent rather than throwing. This art requires more physical training than the other arts, the training is extremely challenging because it trains the body to withstand physical pain. The next art is the art of Judo which sole purpose is to teach how to defend by the use of throwing, unlike the other arts Judo teaches how defend by either a throw or takedown of opponent to the ground, immobilize or to subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. The next art is naginata which is a weapon in which the opponent is swept away. This art is usually practiced by the women in the Japanese society. Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. This requires very little physical strength the objective is to use a person’s momentum against them. Sumo the objective of this art is to force another wrestler out of a circular ring dohyō or to touch the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet. The sport originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally.
ReplyDelete“Budo: The art of killing” presents, explains and demonstrates the different forms of famous Japanese Martial Arts. Among these arts are Karate, Sumo, Judo, Aikido, Yabusame, and Naginata. While the film demonstrates these arts being physically played out, it also gives a short background of the art as well as explaining what it is all about. Karate is the one that I remember most vividly as it was not just physical training, but also a training of the mind. The narrator spoke of how in learning karate, one must train the body to no feel pain, and through this, one can surpass the average level of strength. This demonstrated through many different ways, one of which was the demonstrator slicing the tops straight off glass bottles, another was the classic breaking the bricks. Yabusame is an art that is performed on horseback. While on horseback, they aim for targets using a bow and arrow. Another featured martial art is Kendo, meaning “way of the sword”. This can be compared to western “fencing” in that armor is worn but the exception is that a wooden staff with a blade on the end is used. Sumo is another martial art presented in Budo. Sumo consists of full bodily contact. The opponents must attempt to force the other opponent out of the ring or at least knock them off balance so that they fall to the ground. Aikido is viewed as a harmonious martial art. The nature of Aikido is to combine the attacker’s motion along with channeling the energy or force of that motion into something else as a defensive tactic. This is more subtle and harmonious than attacking back directly. Finally, the martial art and Olympic sport of Judo. Judo takes on a more head on, direct approach. Judo is more offensive as the goal is the take the attacker or opponent down using a choke, or just pin them down as a means of subduing them. In judo, the two opponents are using their hands and feet as weapons as appose to the other arts mentioned where weapons are involved.
ReplyDeleteIn the video Budo: "The art of killing" many forms of martial arts are displayed, practiced and explained. One form shown that is popular to this day is fencing formally known as "Kendo". It is the act of sword fighting made into a recreational sport in this modern age. Aikido is another art displayed in the documentary. It is a truly intriguing art as it can almost be defined as flowing. Attacks are redirected back and forth almost as a dance as opposed to combat. Yabusame is also seen in the video. It is the art of archery from horseback. Another art displayed in the video is karate which involves mainly strikes, and attacks. It also shows the importance of training the body to tolerate pain and thus turning it into a lethal weapon. This documentary shows the lethality of each fighting style and the dangers of practicing it. It shows the importance of safe, formal training and also the effectiveness of each art.

ReplyDeleteBudo is the Japanese martial arts and it can be broken down into Kendo, Karatedo, aikido, and Judo. Kendo means the way if the sword. During practice of Kendo, the object is to avoid attacks by the opponent blade and return blows to the opponent. When real swords are used in Kendo, great skill is required or death is certain. The belief of the samurai was that he should know how to handle the sword to have spiritual power, and be fearless in the face of battle. The mission of the samurai was to defend their masters from attack, but only the warrior class was allowed to use the swords. The others had to be creative as they used various weapons like the Tatami tempai, Nicho goma, and Nun chuck. Another form of Budo is Karate which literally means the empty handed, which is a fighting style completely different to Kendo (sword fighting). In Karate the participant turns their body into a weapon through cruel physical training. This process to obtain mastery is long and tedious and the training is never over. Like Karate, Judo is a hand to hand fighting technique (again unlike Kendo’s use of swords) devised for the unarmed for the purpose of self protection. The main object in Judo is to throw opponent and knock them unconscious while he is on the floor. Unlike Karate, Judo focuses on both the mind and body because the mind must be adaptable to the training with the body. In Judo discouragement is defeat of the mind. Judo is an international sport and is certified by the Olympics as a sport.Another form of Budo is the Naginata, which is a primarily female form of fighting where the Naginata blade is used. This Budo may be similar to Kendo because they both use weapons, but it is unique in the fact that women are the majority participants and they seek spiritual beauty rather than physical strength. Aikido is the final Budo that we were able to see, and this involved a completely different form than all other forms of fighting. Aikido is unique because it is the art of self defense without attacking opponent. The user of Aikido attempts to use his opponents own force against him.
Judo is the art of hand to hand combat, that is basically comprised of defensive techniques. This is done with certain throws and neck presses, that aid in knocking out the opponent. This technique is called "Otosi". This art is a descendent of Jujutsu, which is also a defensive art, that is used for self defense. Jujutsu, although empty handed, can include short weapons.
ReplyDeleteSome forms of judo includes weapons, such as the Naginata, which is a long staff, with a bladed tip. these were used in feudal Japan by foot soldiers and warrior monks. These, in the hands of a skilled practitioner, were very effective against samurai, as it increased distance, allowing an upper hand.
Another fighting style is Aikido, which is said to resemble an individual dancing. it is the art of self defense by attacking, without attacking. It is comprised of using ones opponents strength against them self.
Yabusame is the art of archery from the back of a horse. Today it has been made into a sport of marksmanship, but back in the Kamakura period, it was started when Minamoto no Yoritomo had become shocked by the lack of archery related skills his samurai had. This art was formed as a means of practice.
Another form would be fencing, which comprises of two combatants facing off with swords, who rely much on dodging and reacting, much like samurai. This art uses real swords.
Those in feudal Japan who could not afford swords, and weapons of the like were brought down to wield Boar skin, which would be effective in fighting samurai, sickles, sai's staffs and nunchucks.
Karate is the first art I will discuss, karate means “empty handed” karate transforms the human body as a weapon. Instead of throws like the other arts, Karate uses their hands. Hence the type of workout is more intense because the body must adapt to pain. Yabusame is the next art I will discuss. This art is known as a mounted archery. The archer is on a running horse and shoots threw special arrows at three wooden targets. what makes It different because they are on a ridding horse. Judo is a very popular art Judo is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint locker a choke. Fencing came from Kendo, which means “art of the sword”. The objective of fencing is to avoid the opponent’s sword and reply instantly to his blows. Swords were the main weapon used, however other weapons were created due to the need of people to protect themselves from the violence of the sword. The art of Aikido. In my opinion this is the most complex art as it relates to controlling the emotional side of fighting. Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Aikido is often translated as "the Way of unifying with life energy or as "the Way of harmonious spirit.
