    Students with the Ryakuren-Kaikan Okinawa practice a form of Okinawan Karate 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.
