Nanba MANJI Exercise

Produced by William Reed, http://www.EntrepreneursCreativeEdge.com. Nanba is the Art of Physical Finesse. Nanba MANJI exercise shows one of many Nanba exercises which teaches you how to practice Nanba, or the Art of Physical Finesse, moving your body rapidly in an integrated fashion. The MANJI symbol is an ancient Buddhist symbol, and is sometimes confused with the Nazi Swastika, which is totally unrelated and actually different in appearance. The MANJI symbol shows energy moving in dynamic parallel lines, which is the basis for Nanba exercise and fundamental to many martial arts. This video on Nanba Walking is one of 6 in a series I produced during our Edo Nanba Walk event on June 21, 2009, Our Shunsokai Group meets monthly to do training in Nanba Walking, Nanba Running, Nanba Exercise, and to enjoy aspects of traditional and modern Japanese culture from a Nanba perspective.
