A look at martial influences between East and West Artistic martial demonstrations with commentary by ELAA - Followed by lightsaber initiation sessions
The martial encounter between Japan and Europe is rather recent, with the Portuguese discovering and opening a trading post in the 16th century (1543), not without difficulty. The confrontation between Western and Eastern weapons was to Japan’s disadvantage. A few centuries later, after the horrors of the Second World War, it was the West that was deeply influenced by Japanese martial creativity, which even became the artistic model for creations such as Star Wars. A journey through history and lightsabers…
The presentation is divided into two parts:
1 - Combat and technical differences between Portuguese and Japanese martial arts in the mid-16th century. The rapier and the harquebus.
2 - The influence of the saber tradition on Star Wars combat.

Kenjutsu and Battōjutsu are the Japanese martial arts most closely associated with the sword. Whether katana or wakizashi, nodachi or tantō, any type of sword that was wielded by the samurai is included. Straddling the line between Zen and Shintō, stemming from bujutsu and heihō, with an influence that goes right back to the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, the Wa Rei Ryū continues this age-old tradition of the art of the sword: come and see us in action at Japan Impact! …and after seeing our demonstration come and discover the art of the samurai sword by trying it out.
For two days, you’ll be able to try out, briefly and with guidance, a few basic strikes and cuts (kihon waza) as well as codified combat situations (kumitachi) using bokken (wooden sword).
This will also be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about samurai and their martial arts.
