(english1) Form of (classical) martial art
(comment) This obviously suggests the use of the body (as a weapon?), but using any weapon is in the end also just 体術, so the term can be understood to include all areas of martial arts. Pretty much like 柔術 - often used to refer to unarmed martial arts, but can in truth contain just about anything. There's a good chance you'll see 體 instead of 体, since the schools are often quite old.
