(comment)	Kobudô: this word is already listed, with the meaning "Okinawan weapons fighting". Yes, 'Okinawan weapons fighting' is called kobudô; however, 'kobudô' is also (and maybe more importantly, considering Japanese culture) used to refer to "old" budô schools (usually budô ryû founded before Meiji are considered "koryû"), as opposed to "gendai-budô" (post-Meiji).
