Modern Japanese arts are referred to as 武道 (Budo), with “bu” meaning martial, and “do” meaning way. Many English translations equate Bujustu and Budo, but the difference is actually quite distinct. Bujutsu focuses on the physical part of fighting, whereas Budo also gives special attention to the mind and how one should mentally develop and discipline oneself. Japanese Budo connects many styles, and it takes years and countless hours of practice to achieve what anyone would consider mastership, as measuring your development doesn't end with ranks and degrees.
This year is the 40th anniversary of the “basic treaty of friendship and cooperation between Australia and Japan.“ In honor of that, specially selected martial artists by the Japanese Budo Delegation will travel to Australia to demonstrate and introduce the true essence of Japanese Budo. The event hopes to promote global understanding through a shared appreciation and experience of both modern and ancient martial arts. Before departure, a simple ceremony took place in the historical fighting arena "Nippon Budokan" in Tokyo.
