Traditional Japanese Martial Arts teach us Shin, Gi, Tai (Heart, Skill, Fitness), which are essential to humanity. We are most proud that the traditional martial arts are a part of our Japanese culture. These arts have been developed extensively by our ancestors' skills and imagination and have been handed down to us, for many generations.
Now many people all the world over want to learn Traditional Japanese Martial Arts, or Budo. All learners must try their best not only to understand Budo and Japanese culture, but to respect their own culture. Our common aim is to build strong ties, through our efforts, to spread and develop the Martial Arts in all the world. We believe this to be the role of Martial Arts in modern society.
The NIPPON BUDOIN SEIBUKAN's soul is to learn the spirit of humanity with courtesy and friendship, by learning Shin, Gi and Tai. Believing that the Martial Arts consists of more than skill in combat, we must always pay heed to the spirit and virtues of Budo.
Our Dojo is a comprehensive school which spreads and develops both the Japanese spirit and the skill of flexible offensive and defensive combat with or without weapons.
Based on pride and confidence, we, the NIPPON BUDOIN SEIBUKAN, are realizing our dream to hand on Kokoro, or "Spirit", and Waza, or "Skill", to people all over the World.
By understanding the mindset of Budo, one will be able to archieve good heath, ability in self-defence, and to adopt a code of ethics as outlined in the "Gojo-no-Toku" and "Gorin-no-michi" codes of the samurai.
