Okinawan Karate is the original "root" of the martial art of karate as we know it today. Unlike Japanese karate (such as Shotokan), which is more of a sport or competition, Okinawan Karate remains true to its original purpose: practical self-defense and long-term health.

What a great opportunity to meet local business owners and build community. Small businesses need support and referral’s. The best way to build that is getting to know each other via networking. Juko-Kai Center of Marshall County was appreciative to be apart of this event at The REES.

DNA analysis of 105 skeletons recovered from a battlefield dating to Japan’s samurai era found that 35 were biologically female. The remains were discovered in a clear conflict setting, meaning these individuals died during a period of organized violence rather than from unrelated civilian causes. This finding challenges the common belief that battlefields in feudal Japan were occupied only by men.

While this evidence does not prove that every woman found was a formally titled samurai, it strongly supports historical accounts showing that women were present during warfare. In feudal Japan, especially during long periods of instability such as the Sengoku era, conflicts often involved entire households and communities. Castles and settlements were frequently defended by anyone capable of resisting an attack, including women from warrior families.

Historical records describe women known as onna musha who were trained in the use of weapons and defensive tactics. Their roles ranged from guarding fortifications to actively engaging in combat when their clans or homes were threatened. These women were not symbolic figures or rare legends, but real participants whose contributions were recorded in documents, art, and oral history.

When the archaeological findings are viewed alongside these historical sources, a clearer picture emerges. Warfare in feudal Japan was overwhelmingly male dominated, but it was not exclusively male. Women were present, some were trained to fight, and some lost their lives during armed conflict. Together, these facts provide a more balanced and accurate understanding of how war was experienced in samurai era Japan.
