Martial Arts – Japanese Numbers

This page teaches you how to count in Japanese for Karate, Judo, Aikido & other Japanese martial arts. Many traditional Japanese martial arts schools require that their students know basic Japanese numbers, words and terms. Students often need to count in Japanese for stretching, katas, etc. We have also added some videos below where you can hear and learn the proper pronunciation of these Japanese numbers.
