It is an ancient Japanese art that involves the smooth and controlled movements of drawing a sword from the scabbard, striking or cutting an opponent, flicking blood from the blade, and finally replacing the sword in the scabbard.

China’s practitioners of traditional medicine mapped out the energy pathways flowing through our organs, a network still known as the meridian system. Certain points along pathways are known as acupuncture points. The Chinese call the subtle energy flowing through the network Qi (Ch’i). According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there are 12 true meridian circuits that govern the organs.
