This association will be for those that choose to follow the way of the true martial artist and study all of the arts available at the Budokan.
As the waves of the ocean are endless and continually shaping the form of the coast with each crash, so shall you change and grow in your study at the Budokan.
Once water stops flowing and becomes stagnant, it can lose its clarity.
A trickle of water over time can carve its way through rock and earth by its tenacity and continuing movement, while a tsunami can be catastrophic in one crash.
The shape and forming of a cresting wave, share a very core value with many techniques and concepts.
Water is essentially formless, but can take the form of any container it is put into...much like a self defense situation, you must be formless until you have a specific situation to address. (Mushin - "Mind of no mind")
We are not a koryu style or dojo, but a Gendai system. Gendai systems are those established after the Meiji Restoration (1869). Koryu and Gendai are interconnected and contain Do (way or path) and Jutsu (technique) aspects, share blood lines, but may no longer have direct political ties to those original arts.
Our lineage can be traced to the founding fathers of Daito Ryu, Aikido, Shorin Ryu, Kenjutsu. The oral and physical teachings have been passed down from generation to generation with care not to lose the original essence of the martial ways of those that have gone before.
