    Students with the Ryakuren-Kaikan Okinawa face off during a sparring session in Okinawa City June 15. For Okinawans, martial arts began with kobudo, which uses common household and farming implements as weaponry, and was expanded when Chinese emissaries brought over their culture’s form of martial arts. Since then, various forms of martial arts have been brought here from different nations across the globe.

    A martial arts training session is taking place in a dojo, with four practitioners wearing white gi uniforms and protective headgear engaged in sparring exercises. The students display various belt levels including green, blue, yellow, and green belts. The dojo features traditional Japanese décor including kanji signage, a taiko drum, and a clock on the wall.
    A military service member in MARPAT camouflage uniform and tactical vest is carrying another person over their shoulders in a fireman's carry position on a grass field. The activity appears to be a combat fitness or casualty evacuation drill conducted on a military installation. Several other uniformed personnel are visible in the background observing or participating.
