Nanbudō

Nanbudō is a relatively recent martial art, founded by Yoshinao Nanbu Doshu-Sōke in 1978.

Nanbudo's roots are in Karate, but it is considered as an independent system.
It is more than just fighting techniques.
Nanbudo is based on four concepts: breathing, energy manipulation, gymnastics and spirit/ mental strength.
The techniques are based on movements and patterns in nature, and are intended to work as a system to strengthen the body, as well as prevent many modern-day illnesses.
The fighting techniques in Nanbudō include punches, strikes, kicks, throws, locks, joint and pressure point techniques, and grappling techniques.
Most of the techniques are unarmed, but Nanbudo also uses the bo (six foot staff) and bokken (sword).
