Have you ever seen Labyrinth, starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly? It’s a 1986 movie that features the combined talents of Jim Henson and George Lucas. The film is weird, remarkable, and freaky…in a good way.
In the movie, a young Jennifer...
The dojo can be a perplexing place. Everything is different - the clothes, the atmosphere, the terminology, the etiquette…it truly is a whole different culture. Why then are we expected to jump in without any knowledge of what to expect? Even...

I have some martial arts training in my background, and I've kept track of Ikigai for the past several months and I must say the content is regularly fresh and thought provoking. Too often anymore the martial arts are viewed as mere sport or self defense, but the Ikigai blog maintains the spirit of respect and harmony that real training inspires - a very thoughtful perspective. Two thumbs way up!
The material covered in this blog has a unique take on martial arts that is becoming more and more rare. It covers traditional martial arts extremely well and also gives a point of view of martial arts in pop culture. There is something for everyone with an interest in martial arts especially the traditional fighting styles.
This site is really top notch. I really appreciate the content and the use of pictures and links to keep the blogs entertaining. It not only has great topical content it is educational and interesting, a good combination.
What sets Ikigai apart from the other martial blogs out there is the variety of topics the writer covers. The author's curiosity runs deep with all things martial arts-related, and the author's approachable tone leaves no one in the dark.
