[BLACK PANTA]

Here is the Japanese counter part to the Chinese thread.

Now the Japanese arts I can mustre up right now is

Karate: Shotokan, Goju Ryu
Aikido
AikiJuJutsu
Japanese JuJutsu
Judo
Ninjutsu: Bujinkan


This is all I can think of right now, Like I said TVs really got me distracted. I chose to do this now because I will have more time to do this now than I would at work.
As with the Chinese thread please add on, ask question, and describe.

[kichigai]

Shorinji Kempo
Kobudo
Iaido
Kenjutsu

[Gong||Jau]

Are we naming individual ryu-ha for each style? That could get messy, especially with Karate and Ninjitsu.

This part threw me off a bit. Is that the same kenpo that is similar to/a type of karate? Are the empty handed elements of kenpo taught in kenjutsu (or vice versa)? In the words of Dr. Evil, throw me a frickin' bone here . Great post, by the way.
