Martial Arts is a form of personal growth that encourages the use of mind, body, and spirit. These elements of life improve one's ability to think quickly and do well in every-day life. Martial Arts have spread throughout the world and have changed dramatically during the last century. Different styles require different weapons, abilities, and skills that help defend the Martial Artist. These types of arts should be utilized for defence only and not for the encouragement of warfare.

Karate: Japanese method of fighting with the absence of weapons and instead, striking with the hands, elbows, knees, and feet.

Judo: Also known as the "gentle way," this art was developed by Jigori Kano and consists of a combination of throws and chokes. It later became a popular Olympic sport which may be seen today.

Sumo: Japanese form of wrestling that is made up of fewer throws than Jujitsu.

Taido: A Martial Art developed from Gen-Sei Ruy Karate that consists of five main principles.

Aikido: Japanese self-defense system that resembles the fighting methods Jujitsu and Judo in its utilization of twisting and throwing techniques.
