Budo, the Warrior Path, originated in Japan over 1000 years ago. It developed as a way of life with the goal of nurturing and protecting that which is important and as a method of protecting oneself and others. More than just physical skills, Budo is a mindset that allows us to live a joyful life with the intent of positively affecting those around us and ultimately, purifying the world. As a lifelong practice, suitable to both young and old, it is our desire to pass on the incredible martial arts of Japan to future generations.
