A Martial Art on Tatami

SECTION 1
　A competitive karuta  game is called/“a martial art on tatami.”// The players need physical and mental strength,/as well as the powers of concentration and speed.//
　In this game,/a reciter reads only the first half of a yomifuda  card,/which has a waka  poem.// Players try to grab/the corresponding torifuda  card quickly.// They compete so fiercely/that they sometimes get injured,/like in martial arts.//
