The historical origin of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_martial_arts Japanese martial arts] can be found in the warrior traditions of the samurai and the caste system that restricted the use of weapons by other members of society. Originally, samurai were expected to be proficient in many weapons, as well as unarmed combat, and attain the highest possible mastery of combat skills.

During the feudal era, Japan was characterized by a caste system that placed the samurai at the top of the social hierarchy. This privileged status granted them exclusive access to weapons and combat training, while other members of society were restricted from bearing arms. As a result, the samurai became the guardians of Japan's military and cultural traditions, and their influence is still evident in modern martial arts practices.

The samurai were expected to be proficient in a wide range of weapons, including the katana (sword), yumi (bow), yari (spear), and naginata (halberd). In addition to their expertise in weaponry, samurai were also trained in unarmed combat techniques, such as jujutsu and sumo. This comprehensive approach to martial training ensured that samurai were well-equipped to face any challenge on the battlefield.

Over time, the martial arts of Japan evolved and diversified, giving rise to various distinct styles and disciplines. Some martial arts, such as kendo and kyudo, focus on the refinement of traditional weapon skills, while others, such as judo and karate, emphasize unarmed combat and self-defense techniques. The underlying philosophy of Japanese martial arts is not solely about physical prowess, but also about the cultivation of character, discipline, and spiritual growth.

In this lesson, you will find a lexicon of Japanese martial arts. This glossary will introduce you to key terms, concepts, and disciplines that are integral to the study and practice of martial arts in Japan. Whether you are a martial arts enthusiast, a practitioner, or simply curious about Japan's rich martial heritage, this lexicon will serve as a valuable resource for expanding your knowledge and understanding of the world of Japanese martial arts.

Feel free to correct or add new vocabulary as you explore the diverse and fascinating realm of Japanese martial arts.
