Naginata is a Japanese martial art form for men, women, and children. In the feudal period, it was a powerful weapon against horsemen and foot soldiers alike. The naginata's length and weight made it an efficient weapon against the sword, and its circular execution made it one of the most graceful and fluid of classical Japanese combat systems. Naginata today has evolved into an international art and sport that emphasizes etiquette, patience, self-confidence, and self-control, as well as the skillful use of the weapon. The practice of Naginata nurtures stamina, beauty and grace of movement, and the building of character through discipline and concentration. Moreover, it prepares individuals to deal with the rigors of life, and in establishing a moral code based on chivalry and honor.
