Welcome



Welcome to the Academy of Japanese Martial Arts Knowledge. Japaknees is a free encyclopedia, written collaboratively by the people who use it. It is a special type of website designed to make collaboration easy, called a wiki. This wiki is dedicated to the advancement of Japanese martial arts by sharing the strength and grace of martial arts through knowledge and wisdom. People from around the world can share and contribute information on everything about Japanese martial arts techniques, theory, philosophy and exercise. Whether it's updating a Karate kata, adding some Judo techniques or creating a new page for Aikido, Japaknees is the best place for it. [edit]Anyone Can Edit Japaknees is all about sharing, ownership and a total involvement. Budoka must give from their hearts as well as their hands, feet, elbows, knees and heads. At Japaknees quality is not just a word; it's a way of life. Everything we do is elegant and effective. There are no shortcuts. We build a solid foundation ahead of growth. Don't be afraid to edit – anyone can edit almost every page, and we are encouraged to be bold, people are constantly improving Japaknees. Find something that can be improved and make it better—for example, spelling, grammar, rewriting for readability, adding content, or removing non-constructive edits. If you wish to add new facts, please try to provide references so they may be verified, or suggest them on the article's discussion page. Changes to controversial topics and Japaknees's main pages should usually be discussed first. [edit]The Japaknees Budoka (Community) We are all Budoka, practising martial arts our way. There is not one martial that is more effective or better than another, just like the lion is not better than the tiger or the leopard. [edit]We are the real heroes of martial arts When other people say we can't, we say we can. Only by stretching ourselves can we become the best we can be. There is no limit to what ordinary people can achieve if they are fired up by extraordinary aspirations. [edit]Be the best you can be Remember – you can't break Japaknees; all edits can be reversed, fixed or improved later. We are allowed to be imperfect. So go ahead, edit an article and help make Japaknees the best information for Japanese Martial Arts on the Internet! // The Japaknees Senseis
