Budokan by Metin Kayar
In the Budokan System Metin Kayar made a compilation of different Japanese Martial Arts combined with the knowledge of modern sports science. In the center of Budokan system stands Japanese swordmanship “Kenjutsu”.
“In the world of martial arts I couldn’t find a complete system. A warrior in ancient times must have been able to fight an enemy in every situation - with a sword, with a weapon or with his empty hands. This was my concept when I created the Budokan System. ”
The Budokan System consists of three parts: Nihon Koryu Bugei (Japanese Martial Arts), Okinawa Koryu Bugei (Okinawan Martial Arts) and Gendai Budo (Sports Martial Arts)
Nihon Koryu Bugei
IaiJutsu - KenJutsu - NitoJutsu - Yawara (JuJutsu)
This area summarizes the martial arts of the feudal samurai caste, which were practiced mainly on the main island of Japan. IaiJutsu, the art of pulling the sword, KenJutsu is the art of wielding the sword with both hands in battle. The third area is NitoJutsu, the art of two swords, in which a katana and a wakizashi are performed at the same time. The weaponless self-defense, yawara, was also ruled by the old samurai.
Okinawa Koryu Bugei
Okinawa Karate (Naha Te - Shuri Te) – Buki Jutsu (Kobudo)
This area includes the old styles of Okinawa, which dominated the rural area. These are the karate styles of Naha-Te (short distance) and Shuri-Te (long distance) as well as Buki Jutsu, which teaches the traditional weapons of Japan such as Sai, Tonfa, Kama, Nunchaku and Bo.
Gendai Budo
