Description

These two lads were part of a festival dedicated to Martial Arts organised by the association in which I have been practising , for my part, Tai Chi Chuan, for nearly four years now. We were all gathered last Sunday in a vast gym hall to promote various martial arts, such as Kobudo, Kyudo, Budo Tai Jutsu, Ninjutsu , Tai Chi and Chi Qong...

Here, the guys are wearing authentic and traditional costumes of Japan's Muromachi warriors (The Muromachi period , also known as the Muromachi era, is a division of Japanese history running from approximately 1336 to 1573.). They performed a series of kata ( a Japanese word describing detailed choreographed patterns of movements with weapons practiced either solo or in pairs) belonging to the traditional martial art named Kobudo, a Japanese term that can be translated as "old martial way" ...

Many many thanks for your comments on my last image taken in Iceland, two months ago. Have a nice week everyone !

Belle photo. Les couleurs changent beaucoup par rapport aux illustrations habituelles souvent en tenues noirs. Maintenant, tout le monde se met au MMA.

Fascinating outfits but it must be so uncomfortable and heavy! Great image! :)

C'est superbe ! Par contre, je suppose qu'ils doivent avoir très chaud là-dessous et que ça ne devait pas être très très pratique pour se battre. Les couleurs sont fascinantes et j'espère que tu as d'autres photos de ce festival car ça devait être très passionnant ! A quand une photo de KarmaSong en train de faire ses mouvements de Tai Chi Chuan? :-D Bonne fin de semaine Virginie

Wonderful capture here Jean-Luc and a rare treat for many of us who have only seen such costumes on display behind glass and never being worn. As always your photo captures quite well a scene and the clarity is perfect. Thanks also for your background info on your pic as that really helps bring a scene to life for me.

Une très bonne photo de "ces arts" où je me perd...j'admire sans toujours comprendre l'histoire des personnages ....mais ce n'est pas grave je pense .. un peu comme nos chevaliers médiévaux, non ? Je voudrais mieux connaitre... J'aime me promener tôt le matin sur une plage sur littoral aquitain et regarder " le ballet de ceux qui manient le baton " le kendo je crois ? ! Je vous souhaite une bonne fin de soirée KarmaSong Mel
