Throughout the whole of Asia – the Imperial Japanese killed and wounded around 60 million men, women, and children! This number included many hundreds of White Europeans captured as POWs or civilian workers and their families. Millions of women and girls were routinely raped by the Imperial Japanese and their Korean and Taiwanese allies. This is why the North Korean people in this video train so diligently – in the hope that such atrocities will never be allowed to happen again!
I was asked about the history and meaning of the name ‘Okinawa’ and ‘Ryukyu’ – both Japanese in origin – but premised upon older Chinese ideograms. At the above link, there is my research regarding the forensic study of the ideograms involved and my conclusions premised upon these findings. The term ‘Okinawa’ appears to be a post-1872 CE construct – at least in regard to the forming of the Japanese Prefecture of that name. Generally, Chinese literature does not use this term – but prefers the far older ‘Lu Qiu’ designation which dates back around 1500-years.
At the above link I have added a blog post to our family martial arts website regarding this medieval Japanese battlefield ‘kite’! It resides in the Torquay Museum in South Devon and even when we visited – there was not the usual plaque giving the provenance of this piece – other than a description of what it is. I have written to the Museum to see if I can clear-up the mystery as to the origins of this artefact. As maters stand, this is a bamboo and material device that acts as a ‘kite’ able to lift a grown man of the era into the air whilst carrying a bow and supply of arrows! He is barefoot and stands on a single bamboo pole whilst his body is held in place by two crossed baboo poles in the centre of the device!
The fight did NOT last long – and this just goes to show the limitations of ‘pretend’ martial arts practiced in a modern Boxing Ring during peace time – whilst the headguard-wearing participants use a rubber knife and make use of ‘false’ head-masks! From what I gather, these young men are from various groups of ‘Hitler Youth’ recruited from the different regions of Maidan Ukraine. The sponsor of this competition is the Scandinavian Neo-Nazi group ‘Nord S⊥orm’ – which distinguishes itself by using an upside-down ‘⊥’ in its name! Despite all this obvious evidence of what the Maidan Junta has been doing in Ukraine since Obama put it in power – the Western media looks the other way.
The setting is beautiful as is the high quality of the martial technique! I suspect that we may assume from this that ‘Taijiquan’ is considered ‘Halal’ within the faith of Islam – a fact which grants the practitioners a certain enhanced ‘virtue’. In China, Islam (and Muslims) are greatly respected for a) their spiritual purity and b) their martial integrity! Good to see Taijiquan in Iran and the people united in practice!
I am confident that the strong and just people of Russia will continue to win under your leadership in the journey to repel all challenges and threats posed by hostile forces – guaranteeing the sovereignty (and dignity) of the country and the stability of the region!
I would like to take this opportunity to once again send my warm martial greetings to yourself – the Russian Army and people – who have daringly stood-up in this sacred struggle to realize International Justice and defend World Peace against the high-handedness and arbitrariness of the imperialists!
