^Budo
Budo is the collective name for Oriental martial arts, in which victory and defeat are not important. Budo is an introspective path to self-actualization and character improvement. The psycho-spiritual aspect of Budo uses the body as reference. Exercising the techniques reflects the essence of the participator.

'The essence of Budo in daily life is an unyielding focus on sincere personal character growth through lessons presented in every day situations. This introspective focus is the foundation of an ever-increasing character strength that will enable one to face personal and professional challenges with an inert sense of balance and power.'

'Budo Karate means a road to awareness, respect, improvement and mastery. Practicing karate is a physical effort which produces a metaphysical benefit, using the Budo principles of karate in other walks of life - at work (how to cooperate with colleagues respectfully; when to take a stand, how to defend it with respect and take measurements) and at home (be the best human being you can, respect the teacher in everyone). I would not be where I am now as a person without Budo through karate.'
