In ancient Japan, honor and glory were reserved for male soldiers only, which makes the story of Takeko Nakano so remarkable.

Discover Nakano’s rise to become a martial arts master, her epic battle for her clans’ independence, and how in today’s martial arts schools, the spirit of Japan’s female warriors continues to thrive.
