Today our gang attended a one day martial arts class at the Kobukia Jujutsu Do Jo. We learned a lot about the background of martial arts: It first originated in Japan, and was first created to solve disputes.Originally it was much more violent and involved more kicking, punching, and kneeing. Martial arts is a very theatrical sport with physical violence too. We also learned that martial arts teaches disciplines which pertain to medicinal practices. The Kobukia Jujutsu Dojo taught us a lot about the history of martial arts and the correct way to fight. The instructor taught us about self-discipline. He was very tough and made us all scared but showed a lot of cool fighting techniques. At the end of the day, we were all very tired. However, I got a few new moves to hit Russell with, so I'm happy.
