Name of this system?

Does anyone know about a martial arts style that was banned in china, or japan. I cant remember which one it was. Either way, does anyone know what style it was. Much obliged.

 

[Andrew Green]

Lots of styles have been banned at one time or another. Not just limited to one style, but rather a general ban.

pretty much everything in China except Wushu for a while I believe... (someone let me know if this is correct)

 

[MartialFighter]

I didnt know that, but I have herd, fairly recently about a bunch of fighters, I believe it was in japan, being arrested for openly practicing this certain style. Again it may be in china. I say fairly recent, meaning within the last year.

 

[Andrew Green]

I'd double check your sources, there is more myth then truth in many martial arts circles.

Perhaps he's thinking of Falun Gong? But that's not a martial art.

True... Falun Gong / Falun Da Fa has been banned in China, but that's been in place for a couple of years now. Also true is they don't practice any MA, only some qi gong which I've heard from other qi gong practitioners as "shakey at best" & described as "qi ticklers". Think Yellow Bamboo...

I haven't heard of anything banned in Japan, but that's not the focus of my MA time so I could've missed stuff easy.

The U.S. govt. banned everything but Judo in Japan after WWII, I believe.
