Martial Areology
By: Naruhisa Hoguchi
Another important contributing part of the Martial Arts is the often unexplainable power we actively embrace. Through the knowledge, training and traditions, this power allows us to experience the connection to the Warriors and occurrences of our Martial past.
We would like to recognize this power, spirits, gods and other beings that represent our Martial Way - which continues to inspire the Way into the future.
