Martial arts?

are Japanese weapons apart of martial arts|||Yes.





Japanese martial arts cover the use of Japanese martial arts weapons.|||In certain Japanese styles, yes.


These include:


Jujitsu (eg. tanto - knife defence)


Aikido


Kendo (use shinai - bamboo sword)


Iaido (Japanese sword-drawing art)


Kenjutsu (use bokuto - wooden sword)


Iaijutsu (sword)


Battojutsu (sword)


Naginata-jutsu (pole-arm)


Sojutsu (spear)


Jo-do (short staff)


Bo-jutsu (long staff)


Ky奴d艒 (archery)


Karate (certain styles use sai, nunchuk etc.)|||Let me straighten out something that most people have confused. The Japanese martial arts may or may not have weapons training (karate, judo, ...etc.) Although many schools teach weapons, they are generally considered as separate martial arts.|||Yea. In Karate (japanese based karate) we have sighs (sp?) which are like swords, bows which are long sticks, and sticks which are like 1/3 the size of a bow. Hope this helps!|||what pugpaws said............|||Yes.
