I think that the term "Japanese" in the title is intended to refer to the fact that the school is in Japan - not that the art is "Japanese". The internal arts refer to Taiji, Bagua, Xingyi and Liu He Ba Fa - and a few other odds and ends like Yiquan. There are no "internal" or Wudang schools that are of Japanese origin. However this school (rather than style) is in Japan.
I am aware that the intention of the person who put up this video may mean an internal martial arts school in Japan.
However, there are other people that might think that these martial arts are indigineous to Japan. And in the beginning of the video both the announcer and practitioner acknowledges that these arts come from China.
The reason I want to clarify this is because there are other cultural things that are attributed to the Japanese which actually originate from China.
actually this is Chinese Martial Arts in Japan: Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Hsing I and Ba Gua.
You can hear the teacher in white saying that it is from Taiwan, Taipei...Kenpo, Shaolin, Hsing I
