Shogento (守拳道) is a Surean hybrid martial art and the national sport of Surea. In Surean, sho (守) means "to protect or to defence"; gen (拳) means "to strike or break with fist"; and to/do (道) means "way or method or art." Thus, shogento may be loosely translated as "the art of defending strikes" or "the art to protect with fist". It is a concept-based on Chinese martial art, Wing Chun, and a form of self-defence utilizing both striking and grappling while specializing in close-range combat. Modern shogento includes moves and concept from various other martial arts, such as Karate, Taekwondo and Aikido.

Shogento is one of the world's most popular martial art in terms of the number of practitioners. Its popularity has resulted in the varied development of the martial art into several domains: as with many other arts, it combines combat techniques, self-defence, sport, exercise, meditation, and philosophy. Shogento is also used by the Surean military as part of its training. Shogento training generally includes a system of blocks, kicks, punches, and open-handed strikes and may also include various take-downs or sweeps, throws, and joint locks. Some shogentoo instructors also incorporate the use of pressure points as well as grabbing self-defence techniques borrowed from other martial arts, such as hapkido and judo. Shogento is regarded as the best defensive martial arts due to its highly effective defence and counterattack, but lack of offensive aggressiveness.
