Kinkō-gi

Kinkō-gi refers to traditional Japanese martial arts or physical culture, often translated as "mind-body discipline" or "training for health and spirit." It emphasizes harmonious development of both mental and physical aspects through structured exercises, breathing techniques, and movement practice. Rooted in Zen and samurai traditions, Kinkō-gi aims to cultivate inner calm, discipline, and physical vitality, blending physical training with mindfulness. It’s not just about fighting skills but fostering a balanced, resilient character and well-being through disciplined practice of controlled, purposeful movements.
