Category:Japanese Martial Arts (Budō)

For many Japan Fans, their interest in Japanese art and culture started with budo – Japanese martial arts.

Therefore, on this website you will find blogs about aikido, kendo, iaido, karate, and kyudo. We visit dojo in Utrecht (but also abroad) and report on workshops and events.

Besides strict budo, we also keep you informed about related Japanese arts, such as do-in yoga, all in the spirit of bushido.

The Japan Fans like to give workshops and demonstrations in Japanese martial arts, so keep an eye on this site and our socials!

Have fun reading!
