The 18 Warrior Arts of the Samurai

Bugei Juhappen, or the 18 Warrior Arts of the Samurai, outlines the essential fighting skills for a complete martial artist.
The episode lists these skills, ranging from spiritual refinement (Seishin Teki Kyoyo) to various weapon-based techniques (Ken-jutsu, Kusarigama-jutsu, etc.) and strategies (Gunryaku Heiho, Tenmon Chimon).
It also includes unarmed combat (Jujutsu/Budô Tai-jutsu) and skills like rope tying (Nawa-jutsu) and hidden weapon techniques (Kakushibuki-jutsu).
The list, while potentially evolving across different eras, provides a fundamental understanding of Samurai training. Ultimately, it details the comprehensive skillset required of a Samurai warrior.

You should try to pronounce the words correctly

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the AI used for the podcast cannot pronounce everything correctly. It is improving continuously. Many of the texts we use contain Japanese kanji that have not been trained into the system.
