Here are four martial arts- related stamps from my collection. I chose these for my first post because my real passion is practicing martial arts. One is a Japanese stamp showing a woman with a naginata - one of the Japanese budo which I practice. Another is from Hong Kong and shows an older man practicing tai ji quan. The other two show praying mantis - and I have some interest in tang lang quan (螳螂拳). I have never seen a stamp with someone practicing the praying mantis style of fighting!
