Martial Arts area
Always there at South Japan Expo, Martial Arts are set together in a dedicated area: 100 m² Tatami, shared between eight Japanese disciplines during three days!
If there was any need to present them, Japanese Martial Arts are martial and spiritual disciplines which harmonize body and mind to reach a perfect mastering of the whole being. Yet they are not very well known in western countries though they have much influence on Manga.
