What is Budokan?
Budokan is a training center where you study Budo...
Budo is a Japanese term describing various traditional martial arts. It is a composite word; the first character, “Bu” refers to “Martial Art”. The second, “Do”, refers to a path or way.
Budo is a modern term that expresses the evolution of the ancient martial arts of Japan to a personalized and civilian application, with emphasis on ethical, spiritual, and individual development.
Budo: "The way of the warrior"
Although different budo disciplines may vary in physical technique, they all share the general concept that training enhances the connection between the mind, body and spirit. The mind develops concentration, focus and self-discipline. The body becomes fit while one learns to defend oneself. The spiritual training offers emotional stability and a way to live in harmony and balance with the world.
The study of Budo builds self confidence, enhances fitness, equips you for emergency situations and is an asset that improves your daily life.
