JAPAN: Japan developed many martial art forms
of its own, including sumo wrestling, yawara,
judo, ju-jitsu, ken-jitsu, ashikeri, and torite.
The Japanese Budokai was a martial arts organization,
supported by the government, which promoted
these traditional martial arts.
Around a turn-of-the-century, young Okinawans
crafted for the Japanese army were found been
excellent physical condition, no doubt due
to the introduction of karate into the high
school curriculum... .source: Poiuyt

Who is Who in Budokai
Budokai represents a modern approach to the field of martial arts. It unites three main aspects of martial arts into one global discipline: wrestling, boxing, and traditional weapons handling.
Additionally, Budokai includes the positive psychophysical activity, the art of the relationship with the human environment, as well as therapeutic gymnastics.
As a genuine martial art its founder Dr. Emin Topic introduced Budokai in 1954; competitions have been held since 1969. At that time particular tactical directions were achieved: the idea of the integration of the three mentioned disciplines into the global martial art was connected in a profound synthesis with the form of a sports competition.
The skill of self-defense and conflict resolution between attacker and attacked was adjusted to fit into the requirements of a sports competition. Due to Dr. Emin Topic’s tremendous enthusiasm, a Croatian doyen of martial arts (judo, karate, budokai) and long lasting educational practice, Zagreb’s Budokai School continues producing generations of successful competitors on both national and international levels. To thousands of other, less known students, mattresses in Habdeliceva Street #1 helped to create security, self-esteem, and other positive values in life that this activity builds for an individual and the community at large.
The results in sports, domestic and international, pedagogical and educational activity, the representation in the media, the popularity of the budokai sport, the amount of clubs and active members and competitors, have all been changing throughout the decades. Many different factors determined these changes: goals, plan and program, orientation, social-economic situation, adequate infrastructure, and so forth. Yet, the Budokai School Zagreb is more competitive and stronger than ever.

Zatoichi is the famous, fictional, blind masseur and roving gambler who, when innocent lives are threatened, becomes the ruthless swordsman who can cut down a dozen men -- yakuza and samurai alike -- before they know what hit them.
He's as famous a film character in Japan as the Indiana Jones character is in the States. He wandered the Japanese countryside in the early 1800s during the waning years of the Tokugawa Shogunate, barely scraping a living by giving massages and gambling. Although saddled with the physical handicap of blindness and the social handicap of living at the bottom of a rigid feudal class structure, Zatoichi manages to gain the upper hand with nearly everyone he meets, including the samurai or warrior class. He achieves this by using his good-natured wit, perceptive understanding of human nature, keen sense of hearing, and the lightning fast draw of his cane sword.
Often humorous and always filled with sword-fighting action, the Zatoichi series of films has succeeded in attracting a worldwide following.
"Any fan of Kurosawa's 'Yojimbo' should snatch these up." --The New York Post

Značenje budokaja
Dr. Emin TOPIĆCroatian - Budokai je suvremena škola borbe prsa u prsa golorukog ili naoružanog čovjeka. Povezuje tri velike grupe borilačkog umijeća: hrvačku, boksačku i baratanje tradicionalnim oružjem obrane u jedno globalno borilačko umijeće i sport. Obuhvaća i terapijsku gimnastiku s masažom te umijeće odnosa prema okolici i pozitivno psihofizičko prožimanje. Budokai kao izvorno borilačko umijeće prisutan je u Zagrebu kroz djelatnost njegova utemeljitelja dr Emina Topića od 1954. godine, a kao sport i natjecateljska disciplina od 1969. godine. Ostvarivanje ideje globalnog borilačkog umijeća - povezati pravilima sportskog nadmetanja tri navedene grupe i ostvariti borilačko umijeće kao skladnu sintezu navedenoga počelo je odredenim taktičkim usmjerenjima. Umijeće samoobrane i umijeće rješavanja konflikta, sukoba napadača i napadnutog počelo se uobličavati pravilima sportskog nadmetanja. Zahvaljujući entuzijazmu dr Emina Topića, doajena borilačkog sporta i umijeća (judo, karate, budokai) u našoj državi i dugogodišnjoj sportsko-odgojno-obrazovnoj praksi stvorene su generacije poznatih i uspješnih sportaša koji djeluju u borilačkom sportu i izvan granica naše zemlje, a tisuće mladih, manje poznatih koji su kraće ili dulje razdoblje svoga života proveli na strunjačama u Habdelićevoj 1 stekli su sigurnost, samopouzdanje i sve ostale pozitivne vrijednosti koje sportski trening donosi pojedincu i zajednici u cjelini. Sportski rezultati , domaći i medunarodni, pedagoško odgojno - obrazovno djelovanje, prisutnost u medijima, popularnost budokai sporta, broj klubova, broj registriranih aktivnih članova - vježbača i registriranih sportaša - natjecatelja mijenjao se u ovom dugogodišnjem razdoblju i bio je determiniran različitim faktorima - idejnim ciljevima, planom i programom rada programskom orjentacijom, društveno-ekonomsko-socijalnom situacijom, trendovima bavljenja sportom mladih, dostupnošću kvalitetnih objekata i osnovnih sredstava za rad, statusom trenera, prioritetima u financijskom praćenju osnovnih razvojnih programa, financijskom situacijom.

Tae Kwon Do
one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts, which teaches more than mere physical fighting skills. It is a discipline which shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind. It is also a modern sport that has gained an international reputation, and stands among the official games in the Olympics.
Let's take a closer look at the meaning of the word Tae Kwon Do. It is composed of three parts as shown in the English spelling, though it is one word in Korean. Tae means "foot," "leg," or "to step on," and Kwon means "fist," or "fight." Do means the "way" or "discipline." If we put these three parts together, we can see two important concepts behind Tae Kwon Do..... more: >>>
