Budo Exchange Initiative

[BUDO Family]

We aim to build an international martial arts community where practitioners from different countries, cultures, and styles connect and share a common philosophy.

Through organizing exchange tours and international martial arts tournaments, we foster in-person gatherings. Additionally, we provide a member-only platform (app) with social networking features that allows users to share their training journeys and mission-driven social contribution activities, supporting each other across borders.

Online Dojo
[Bugaku-Kan]

We operate a web-based dojo that allows anyone striving to become a better version of themselves to learn and train anytime, anywhere through online access.

Our programs enable students to study and internalize the mindset, philosophy, and spiritual aspects of Budo, making them relevant and applicable to modern life.

Participants can acquire essential, rational methods of using the body and mind that are beneficial not only in any martial art, but also in sports and everyday life.

Samurai Education Program
[SAMURAI Education]

This program guides and supports children in learning, practicing, and internalizing the philosophy and spirit of Budo through step-by-step experiential learning. The goal is to help them apply these values in their daily lives and thrive in society.

It can be practiced alongside any martial art, regardless of the specific style a child is studying.

The program is designed to be adaptable for various learning environments—individual study at home, extracurricular classes at school, or practice at local dojos. It also provides guidance for teachers and parents to support children's learning.

Dojo Management & International Expansion Support Program
[Dojo Management & Global Outreach Support]

We provide comprehensive support for sustainable and community-rooted dojo operations through services such as:
– a Japanese dojo portal site,
– Budo tourism consulting,
– MEO (Map Engine Optimization) strategies,
– children’s educational content,
– welfare program proposals,
– Budo education initiatives for youth, and
– online marketing support.

Leveraging our network of martial artists, we also facilitate two-way international partnerships:
supporting Japanese dojos and companies in expanding overseas, introducing Japanese culture abroad, matching with international partners, assisting in import/export, and providing support for foreign businesses entering the Japanese market.
