Systema is a military martial art based on traditional Russian martial arts. Systema has the following four characteristics. Breathing: Breathing is very important in Systema. Deep breathing helps oxygenate your entire body and relax your muscles. Relaxation: In Systema, it is important not to tense your muscles. If you tense your muscles, your movement will be restricted and your opponent will be more likely to attack you. Posture: Maintaining good posture is important in Systema. By maintaining the correct posture, you will be able to maintain your balance and be less likely to be attacked by your opponent. Keep moving: At Systema, it's important to keep moving. By continuing to move, it becomes difficult for your opponent to predict you, making it easier to dodge attacks. Systema is a practical martial art that assumes various situations in modern warfare. It incorporates a wide range of techniques, from martial arts using weapons to bare-handed martial arts. Systema is a martial art that is popular not only with the military, but also with the police, security guards, and the general public.

The reason why requests from world brands come in... Kokura Orimono's strength lies in jacquard silk fabrics. An industrial jacquard loom has 14,200 warp (vertical) threads, with weft (horizontal) threads moving back and forth between them. There is slight unevenness in thickness. The craftsman adjusts them while threading, and operates the loom while keeping an eye on it to ensure that it runs smoothly. Today, there are almost no highly specialized craftsmen even within the production area, which is one of the reasons why Kokura Textile receives requests from world-famous brands. Why not visit Kokura Orimono to meet these rare and highly skilled craftsmen? *For foreign nationals: Information on the day will be in Japanese only.
