Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2011) Martial arts are extensive systems of codified practices and traditions of combat, practiced for a variety of reasons, including self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, as well as mental and spiritual development. The term martial art has become heavily associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, but was originally used in regard to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. An English fencing manual of 1639 used the term in reference specifically to the "Science and Art" of swordplay. The term is ultimately derived from Latin, martial arts being the "Arts of Mars," the Roman god of war.[1] Some martial arts are considered 'traditional' and tied to an ethnic, cultural or religious background, while others are modern systems developed either by a founder or an association.

  • By Emily Shelly Won Second Prize in the University of Pittsburgh’S 2008-09 Composition Program Writing Contest
    Page | 1 The Journalist September 21, 1874 – 6th Year of Meiji Some time ago, I undertook to write a comprehensive article on the life of Hijikata Toshizo for my newspaper, the Hotaru Shinbun.1 In December, the paper will be printing an expose on the life of Katsu Kaishu,2 a hero of the Meiji Restoration that put the emperor back into power.3 My editor suggested that I write a piece on Hijikata, another supporter of the shogun, to offset it. Hijikata I consider to be the worst of traitors, but the Katsu story had been given to someone else, and as usual, I was stuck with the less glamorous assignment. Nevertheless, if it’s good enough maybe I’ll have a shot at the government correspondent position that just opened up. In this journal I will record the results of my interviews with Katsura Kogoro, Nagakura Shinpachi and one other anonymous source. Luckily, the first person I asked to interview, Katsura Kogoro,4 one of the “Three Great Nobles of the Restoration,”5 agreed to sit down with me and chat over tea about the chaotic years in Kyoto before the Restoration. I counted myself highly privileged. I had to use every connection in my arsenal to finally get permission to interview him. 1 The newspaper that published Nagakura Shinpachi’s oral memoirs of the Shinsengumi. The reporter is fictional, though. 2 Commissioner of the Tokugawa navy. He was a pacifist and considered an expert on Western things. He negotiated the surrender of Edo castle to the Imperial forces in 1867, saving Edo from being swallowed up by war.

  • In a Mirror, Darkly: a Comparison of Chinese and Japanese Military Reform, 1860-1894
    In a mirror, darkly: a comparison of Chinese and Japanese military reform, 1860-1894 by James Mark Graham B.A., California Baptist University, 2011 A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Approved By: Major Professor Dr. David Graff Copyright © James Graham, 2019 Abstract By the year 1860, both the Qing dynasty in China and the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan were under considerable strain following Western intervention and domestic disturbances. While the Qing were able to survive the disturbances, the Tokugawa Shogunate did not, and was replaced by a government of the Tokugawa’s clans’ enemies, under the nominally direct leadership of the Meiji emperor. Both Chinese and Japanese leaders recognized that reform of their societies was necessary to ensure their independence with a special emphasis on military reform. As a result, both the Qing dynasty and the Meiji government sought out and employed Western military advisors to assist their efforts. There are similarities between how the Chinese and Japanese used their western advice, namely that both insisted on maintaining control over their advisors, ensuring that they would serve the desires of their respective governments. However, the differences were greater both in number and severity. The Chinese employment of western advisors was based on regional and provincial interests. Additionally, the Qing focused much more on the acquisition of Western technology. The Japanese used a formal system of official military advisory missions, whereas the Chinese preferred to employ individuals informally on a contract basis.
