Disciplines from around the world
Martial arts blend skill, respect and self-control, and this puzzle gathers many styles. You'll be finding the famous ones — KARATE, JUDO, TAEKWONDO, KUNG FU, AIKIDO, JUJITSU and SUMO — each trained in the DOJO under a watchful SENSEI.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the mat, no two martial arts word searches are the same. One round a backwards TAEKWONDO hides in a corner; the next a diagonal GRAPPLING move locks across the middle.
Moves, ranks and respect
Every style shares a core of moves and values, and they're here. Practise the PUNCH, the KICK, the STRIKE and the BLOCK, the formal KATA, and the grappling skills — the THROW, the SWEEP, the GRIP and a low STANCE. Earn your way up the BELT ranks to BLACK BELT and the rank of MASTER, all built on DISCIPLINE and respect.
It's a great fit for a PE or sports topic. Tracking down T-A-E-K-W-O-N-D-O turns spelling practice into a focused workout.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
