The Path in Budo

The path of Budo has been taught since ancient times and over time it has formed a culture of its own. The growing personalities of those who are chosen and/or have chosen to walk the path ultimately seek to find personal harmony and inner strength. By diligently training students develop their character. The forging process builds a life time fraternal bond among the practitioners, who through friendship, physical hardship, and mental endurance a connection in the spirit of Budo is forged.The goal of Heihou is to provide a cultural education.

​

The Mental Attitude (No Mind)- Mushin

• During Keiko (practice) maintain sustained effort.

• Do not try to learn from what you think is occurring. The eyes can not always be trusted. Allow your body and senses to feel the technique. Find inner understanding.

• Never lose your passion.

• Consider the words of your Senpai (those more experienced than you). They will help you in your path of growth. They must be taken with humility and kindness.

• Vanity impedes progress and creates isolation

• The forging process will test you emotionally. As you face adversity, strive to keep your mind calm and quite.
