What you can get out of your Budo Training

Improved health

Improved strength and agility

Confidence

Discipline & will-power

Understanding & knowledge of ‘self’

Life perspective

Calmness of spirit

Self-defence skill

Reduced angst

Reduced stress

Purpose

Feeling of accomplishment

Reduced victim-mentality

Control over fear

Selflessness (reduced ego)

Stronger self-determination

Better posture

Better balance


Responsibility over self

A sense of honour

An honest heart

Reduced need to prove anything

Reduced need to be ‘better than others’

Clear mindset

Better endurance

Better focus

Higher awareness

Consideration of others

True sense of respect.



Don’t fall into the trap of assuming that any of these happen automatically simply because you train in Budo!

When you think about it you'll notice that there are more than a few people that train in Budo that are unfit, have no confidence, have a massive ego, quick to anger and cowards.

The above positives we get from our training require actual focus and attention in training, nothing happens without conscious awarness. We must always be thinking about how to improve them. To truly understand this you must train consistently, every day if you can!

To go to training once or twice a week and not really think about improving these (but assume these will come from that training) is mistaking the true way of Budo.
