Waraku
A form of spiritual improvement, waraku is an ancient sword-based Shinto martial art. As what is taught at Origin, where this lesson is available, is about peace, not about fighting, the word "martial" is a misnomer.
Waraku places emphasis on various centers of existents. It is based on the premise that everything moves smoothly when its movement comes from its center. It is like drawing a circle; unless you know where the center is, you cannot draw a circle. To sum up, the ultimate goal of Waraku is to find a center and utilize it effectively. Finding the center though this art enables you to increase the healing capacity of your body and restore your mental balance.
