Martial Arts : Bushidō Martial Arts

Bushidō ( Way of the Warrior-Knight ), is a Japanese word which is used to describe a uniquely Japanese code of conduct and a way of the samurai life, loosely analogous to the concept of chivalry.

It originates from the samurai moral code and stresses frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery, and honor unto death.
