練習 (renshuu) is a Japanese word composed of two kanji characters: 練 (ren) which means "to train" or "to practice" and 習 (shuu) which means "to learn" or "to study". Therefore, the complete meaning of 練習 is "to practice in order to learn" or "to train in order to study". The word is commonly used to refer to training or practice activities, such as sports, music, dance, martial arts, among others. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the term 練習 was first used to refer to military and martial arts practices.
