    Martial arts From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Martial arts (disambiguation). This article needs additional citations for verification. 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.

Like all martial arts, it requires mindful concentration and physical exertion. In addition, it is a compassion practice that also provides a spiritual perspective and includes social touch. These components make Aikido a unique form of mindfulness that has the potential to be particularly appealing to veterans coming from a Warrior Ethos tradition who are used to rigorous somatic training. Mindfulness practices have shown efficacy with veterans, and the self- compassion, spiritual, and social touch dimensions of Aikido also offer benefits for this population, many of whom are struggling with these issues. Several pilot Aikido programs with veterans that show promise are described.

  • About Zen Bu Kan
    About Zen Bu Kan Zen Bu Kan is an iaido dojo of the Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu lineage located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Zen Bu Kan was started by Jules Harris Sensei. Having studied in New York, Harris Sensei moved to Utah to study Zen at the renowned Kanzeon Zen Center in Salt Lake City. A scholar, warrior, and spiritual leader; Harris Sensei taught without thought of personal gain, only to pass on the lineage. He moved back East, to Pennsylvania, to further his spiritual studies. Zen Bu Kan is now led by his students Jason Hankins Sensei and Dick Beckstead Sensei. More recently, Zen Bu Kan has begun to teach kendo under the direction of Robert Stroud Sensei, 7th dan renshi. Stroud Sensei leads a dojo in Boise, Idaho, and serves as a kendo mentor and instructor to Zen Bu Kan’s sensei. Iaido students at Zen Bu Kan begin by learning the basic fundamentals of iaido. Having learned the fundamentals, students then begin to learn the twelve Seitei kata. The Seitei kata are the standard by which iaido practitioners (iaidoka) world-wide begin their training and upon which they are tested. Eventually, students move on to learn the Omori-Ryu and Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu kata. Zen Bu Kan does not operate for profit and is solely supported by its students at cost. This allows the school to keep the price of tuition to a minimum, but it also means that the school is heavily dependant upon its students to remain in operation. The students form both the body and the support staff of the school.
