		However, it does seem possible that some fighting might have taken place between the two sides, and many of the kobudo kata contain moves that imply a fight against an opponent with armor and a sword.
		It is true that the Satsuma clan forbid the use of "real" weapons, but they also forbid the practice of all martial arts in Okinawa.

		Such preoccupation emerged from ancient and widespread religious belief (commonly categorized as ancestor worship) that has induced most Japanese persons, throughout history, to believe that their leaders are descendants of Kami.
		Such linkage between the authority and power of the Japanese state is revealed not simply in the wording of the Temmu command but in the sweep and tone of both the Great-Reforms and the Great Goddess Shinto movement.
