Further details will be published in the build up to June. for more information email: info@budokanworld.com Saturday 29th March 2024 Lymington Dojo Kyoshi Darren Waghorn and Sensei Mike Clapham shared the dojo . Both taught two one hour classes. Kyoshi Darren was teaching laido and Sensei Mike was teaching Aikido. Sensei Mike taught four nage waza techniques (projections) Kote Gaishi, Shihonage, Irimi nage and Kaiten Nage. We used the same six attacks for each Nage Waza. Aihamni, Gyakuhamni, Chudan Zuki, Tate Zuki Jodan, Shomen Uchi and Yokumen Uchi. Our focus was not on speed but correct technique such as good maai, ensuring the Uke is off balance, correct breathing and maintaining Zanchin. After the first hour Kyoshi and Sensei swapped students. Sensei second class welcomed back some former students. During this class was back to basics. We started with Ikkyo and then moved on to Kote Gaishi, for both techniques the attacks were Aihamni and Gyakuhamni. We began with Gono keiko (static practice) making sure the Tori was stepping off the line and then attacking the Uke's center whilst encouraging the Uke to blend with the Tori all of the techniques were practiced Omote and Ura. The main emphasis for both groups in the iaido training was the four building blocks of iai, namely nukitsuke, furikaburi & kirioroshi, chiburi and noto. Practicing these individually can only improve your iai so far. To take it up to the next level these need to be brought together in kata. For the first group this was done by practicing standing versions of the 1st four katas of Seitai iaido. Martial artist must be aware of the surrounding in combat but also in training. An interesting sight for the people watching as a wall was used during Uke Nagashi (the third kata of Seitai) to help the students learn the first part of the kata. The second group, consisting of more senior grades, utilised the first two katas, Yukitzure and Tsuredachi from the Okuden Tachi-waza from Muso Shinden Ryu to practice the building blocks. 2025 is upon us Despite 2024 being a difficult year for the club, we are moving forward in the spirit drilled into us by Saisho Passmore. We have several weekend, one day events planned. These are open to all current and former Budokan members who wish to attend. So dig out your Gi, dust off your weapons and join us on the mat. There will be the usual social gatherings at a local venue after each of the dates.

BUDOKAN MISOGI 7 DECEMBER 2024 LYMINGTON DOJO A Misogi is an ancient Japanese Shinto purification ritual that involves washing the body and is also a method for personal development and transformation. A traditional Misogi usually involved standing under a freezing waterfall to cleanse the mind and the body of the participants. Thankfully, the modern approach involves challenging oneself to do something difficult even if you are not guaranteed to succeed. The Misogi challenge is about doing something tough once a year that shapes how you will live the rest of your 364 days. On 7th December 2024 the members of Budokan UK came together to prepare for the coming year and to celebrate the life of Saisho Passmore by engaging in a Misogi which Sensei Mike designed together with the Shihonkai. Significantly the date was chosen by Saisho who had intended that this would be the Budokan year end event. At the opening of the Misogi Sensei Mike welcomed the attendees and family members and reminded us that although this was a somber occasion it was also a joyous one which provided the members the opportunity to salute Saisho’s achievements and to mourn his passing. What was most impressive was that the event was attended by twenty practitioners as well as other passed members who did not participate in the misogi. All who attended could only be impressed with the manner with which Mike attended to his management of the misogi. In preparation for the Misogi, Kyoshi Darren prepared the Kamidana which was much admired by all those who attended. Its central position on the dojo floor made this the focus of us all. To spiritually cleanse the dojo Kyoshi Darren performed two Iaido kata which Saisho would have been proud of. Sensei Mike reminded us that Saisho began each year with the test of a thousand cuts so naturally, after the cleansing kata, the Misogi started with that test. Doing a thousand cuts with a bokken is no mean feat and certainly challenged us all. Some of the senior citizens had to take a break during the exercise. Just watching the practitioners, you could see the concentration etched on their faces. One need only look at Pat Miller to see what I mean. At the end of the exercise, it was traditional to have the exhausted members hold their bokken on their arms stretched out. Saisho also used to bring along a very heavy bokken and, as was his practice, he would choose someone to hold the heavy bokken out in front of them (usually Keith) so it was great to see that sensei Mike keeping up that tradition and bestowing that honor on Keith again this time around. It was great to have Joe Braconi with us, he having travelled all the way from Edinburgh to attend. We look forward to having him regularly attend down in Lymington and he has promised to do so again later this year. After the thousand cuts Sensei Mike, Toby Mellows, Paul Floyd and James Bryden demonstrated one of Saisho’s kata for the members after which Sensei Mike demonstrate a Bunkai from the kata which the members practiced. Sensei Mike and Shihan Toby went on to demonstrate 3 Bunkai from the Kata, which they went on to work with all the students. We continued with a 20 minute Zazen which was very important to Saisho. (to come a couple of articles that This was published within the 4th edition of Hanshi Hamada's book Quintessence of Japanese Classical Martial Arts). It was with great pleasure that James Bryden was award his Nidan Certificate. James was the last student to be assessed by Saisho who determined that he qualified to be elevated to his second Dan grade. At the end of the misogi the Kamidana was dismantled and Saisho’s katana was handed back to Katy Passmore for safe keeping. She is a member of Budokan and serves on the Shihankai and will keep the katana. Part of the misogi ritual is the requirement that the dojo is again cleansed, and Kyoshi Darren very kindly performed the closing Iaido cleansing kata for us. This was a very moving ceremony and is followed by the spreading of salt around the dojo. The evening was concluded by a curry a great gathering at The Chequer’s in Lymington. Many story’s and laughter were shared by old and new members of the Budokan family. There are a few students that for unforeseen reasons were unable to attend the event but were keen to be there in spirit, Peter Robinson, Hilary Crundwell and Nicky Charnick. Let’s hope we will see you all in June! We will be holding A Flag Ceremony on June 21st 2025 – it is the flag that will be given to Saisho’s family from the DNBK.

DOJO EL CORAZÓN Y EL ALMA DEL ENTRENAMIENTO Hay miles de dojo que practican Karate, Aikido Iaido y otras artes marciales japonesas tradicionales como Kendo, Ju Jitsu, Kodokan Judo y Kobudo, en su mayoría pequeñas "casas" de formas marciales. Nos gustaría unir estos dojo a través de sus líderes de dojo. con el fin de crear y alojar todo el contenido necesario para enseñar y aprender el Budo japonés tradicional de la manera en que se pensó originalmente, que se ha convertido en parte de nuestro linaje. Incluyendo, si algún dojo lo desea, la enseñanza de las virtudes clásicas del Bushido japonés, con la práctica de zazen o meditación sentada. La BIBLIOTECA EN LÍNEA nunca reemplazará el entrenamiento dedicado requerido para adquirir habilidades relevantes en las artes marciales, pero servirá como un complemento a ese esfuerzo a medida que se lleve a cabo más enseñanza y aprendizaje en línea, simplemente porque es más accesible en cualquier momento.

HISTORIA DEL KORYU JUJITSU UN POCO DE HISTORIA DE LAS ARTES MARCIALES La fiereza del guerrero japonés y sus artes de lucha han fascinado a los occidentales desde que Occidente entró en contacto con ELLOS hace más de 450 años. Sin embargo, no fue hasta finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX que los occidentales comenzaron a practicar alguna de las artes marciales japonesas. JUJITSU fue una de las primeras, quizás incluso la primera de estas Artes que se enseñó en Occidente y no pasó mucho tiempo antes de que el nuevo Arte y Deporte de JUDO de Kano Jigoro comenzara a ganar popularidad rápidamente en Japón y un número de practicantes de JUJITSU, animados por sus instructores, cambiaron al JUDO de Kano, que aunque se basaba en los métodos básicos de las escuelas de jujitsu más antiguas, se consideraba en ese momento un "sistema estructurado científicamente". Al mismo tiempo, otros dojos de JUJITSU occidentales siguieron su propio camino, incorporando ideas occidentales en sus sistemas y, por lo tanto, sentando las bases para algunos de los estilos modernos de jujitsu que se ven hoy en día. Incluso algunos de los dojo más antiguos de Europa se vieron obligados a cambiar al judo más moderno y popular, solo para sobrevivir. Esto es lo que también le sucedió a nuestro dojo Kodokwan aquí en Zambia, que se formó en 1928. En el momento de su formación, era el único dojo que practicaba JUJITSU y luego, a principios de la década de 1940, nuestro Kodokwan comenzó a incluir la práctica formal de judo en su dojo. . Las escuelas tradicionales de SAMURAI JUJITSU de antaño enseñaban no solo un arte defensivo, sino que los planes de estudios comprendían una gama muy completa de tácticas, equipando a los exponentes para enfrentar una gran variedad de situaciones. Esto contrasta marcadamente con las técnicas utilizadas en las competiciones de JUDO de hoy en día, por ejemplo, las técnicas clásicas de jujitsu no fueron diseñadas para ganar puntos, sino para ser efectivas para aumentar las posibilidades de supervivencia, permitiendo que un oponente tenga una oportunidad mínima de contraataque. Los lanzamientos se aplicaron de tal manera que el combatiente podía romper una o más extremidades de un oponente antes de lanzarlo, generalmente después de que el oponente había sido atacado con atemi o golpes al cuerpo. Cuando el oponente estaba volando por el aire, de repente fue tirado hacia abajo de tal manera que, en circunstancias óptimas, se rompería el cuello o, al menos, se lesionaría gravemente la columna. No había espacio para ningún error en el campo de batalla cuando se enfrentaba a un oponente en JUJITSU DE COMBATE y no había reglas o técnicas prohibidas en la batalla. Samurai en el campo de batalla involucrado en "Yori Kumi-Uchi" [lucha] vestido con armadura, requería reflejos súper rápidos y la máxima confianza en sí mismo en su técnica. "Zanshin" estaba en su apogeo en esta situación de supervivencia, incluso el más mínimo error, una postura desequilibrada o pérdida de concentración podría resultar en la muerte. El uso de Yori Kumi-Uchi fue esencial para un agarre eficaz con armadura, ya que a través de esto el guerrero desarrolló el equilibrio, el apalancamiento y la movilidad para preservar su posición y luego usar Atemi o Kansetsu-waza para romper una extremidad y lanzar su enemigo al suelo, luego saca su espada corta y la clava en su adversario. Se usó una hoja especial, "Yori-doshi", en la cadera derecha para este propósito. Por razones obvias, estas técnicas están prohibidas en el deporte moderno de JUDO e incluso en el JUJITSU moderno. En JUDO, donde la seguridad del compañero en el entrenamiento o la competencia es un tema muy importante, los derribos como "Ippon-seoi-nage" [proyección de hombro con un brazo], se aplican con el brazo de Uke [receptor de la fuerza] en la posición de Junte, para mayor seguridad. Una característica importante del jujitsu clásico es precisamente que muchos lanzamientos se inician con el brazo de uke en posición gyakute. También hay algunos tipos de lanzamientos en JUJITSU CLÁSICO en los que ambos brazos de Uke están bloqueados en la posición de Gyakute, lo que hace que sea mucho más peligroso ya que hace que Ukemi [medidas defensivas, como la caída] sea más difícil, de hecho cuando la técnica es ejecutado correctamente, ukemi se vuelve casi imposible. Dado que el ARTISTA MARCIAL CLÁSICO no estaba protegido por reglas en combate, necesitaba un conocimiento muy completo de cómo escapar y usar Ukemi para sobrevivir a los lanzamientos que se aplicaban con la intención de mutilar en lugar de anotar un punto. Sin embargo, uno tiene que darse cuenta de que cuando un lanzamiento se ejecuta correctamente, con la intención y la velocidad de mutilar o incluso matar, Ukemi puede ser muy difícil. Por lo tanto, si era posible, era mejor escapar usando muchas técnicas diferentes, justo antes de ser arrojado, siendo algunas de estas técnicas de naturaleza muy extrema, incluso estando preparado para sacrificar una mano o un codo o dislocar un hombro, solo para escapar. ser lanzado, no como SPORT JUDO, donde ser lanzado solo significa perder un punto. No hace falta decir que algunos JUJITAU RYUHA se especializaron en equipar a los exponentes para realizar lanzamientos de escape justo antes de que se iniciaran las acciones. En JUJITSU TRADICIONAL no había tal cosa como un "movimiento prohibido", las tácticas que podían emplearse incluidas eran y son, - agarre (kumi), lanzamiento (nage), además de técnicas para limitar el efecto negativo de un lanzamiento, restricción (osae ), trabar las articulaciones (kansetsu-waza), calzar (shime-waza), atacar los puntos vitales del cuerpo (kyusho-waza), golpear el cuerpo (atemi), patear (keri), empujar (tsuki) y golpear ( uchi)- He tenido el honor y el privilegio de ver a estos Koryu-Ryha Sensei demostrar su JUJITSU en la ciudad de Kioto, en el Kyoto-shi Koryu Bujitsu Enbukai [EL Encuentro de Demostración de Artes Marciales Tradicionales de la Ciudad de Kioto], donde se reúnen varias escuelas de Koryu Bujitsu de todo Japón. para demostrar sus habilidades. Es realmente sorprendente ver a estos viejos JUJITSU SENSEI lanzarse y hacer ukemi en los pisos de madera de pino duro, ¡sin tatamis! Incluso tuve la rara oportunidad de entrenar por un tiempo con Sensei Arao 5º dan, de Tondabayashi, ciudad de Osaka, quien en ese momento tenía más de 60 años. SENSEI ARAO es un MAESTRO DE BUDO EN TOMIKI AIKIDO Y DAITO-RYU JUJITSU donde practicó en el Tennoji Aikikan en el centro de la ciudad de Osaka. Finalmente me gustaría en este momento también agradecer a todos los Sensei, Senpai y Kohai en Takatsuki-shi, Tondabayashi-shi Shimin Taiku-kan Budo Dojo en Osaka, por aguantar a este "Zambian kara hen na no Gaijin" (extranjero extranjero de Zambia) durante todos esos años.

The Budo Charter Budo Kensho The Japanese Budo Association was formed in 1987. The English version of their Budo Charter was produced in 2004 and is reproduced here for your interest. Their Philosophy of Budo was published in 2009 and will be posted up soon. Budo, the Japanese martial ways, have their origins in the age-old martial spirit of Japan. Through centuries of historical and social change, these forms of traditional culture evolved from combat techniques (jutsu) into ways of self- development (do). Seeking the perfect unity of mind and technique, budo has been refined and cultivated into ways of physical training and spiritual development. The study of budo encourages courteous behaviour, advances technical proficiency, strengthens the body, and perfects the mind. Modern Japanese have inherited traditional values through budo which continue to play a significant role in the formation of the Japanese personality, serving as sources of boundless energy and rejuvenation. As such, budo has attracted strong interest internationally, and is studied around the world. However, a recent trend towards infatuation just with technical ability compounded by an excessive concern with winning is a severe threat to the essence of budo. To prevent any possible misrepresentation, practitioners of budo must continually engage in self-examination and endeavour to perfect and preserve this traditional culture. It is with this hope that we, the member organisations of the Japanese Budo Association, established The Budo Charter in order to uphold the fundamental principles of budo. ARTICLE 1: OBJECTIVE OF BUDO Through physical and mental training in the Japanese martial ways, budo exponents seek to build their character, enhance their sense of judgement, and become disciplined individuals capable of making contributions to society at large. ARTICLE 2: KEIKO (Training) When training in budo, practitioners must always act with respect and courtesy, adhere to the prescribed fundamentals of the art, and resist the temptation to pursue mere technical skill rather than strive towards the perfect unity of mind, body and technique. ARTICLE 3: SHIAI (Competition) Whether competing in a match or doing set forms (kata), exponents must externalise the spirit underlying budo. They must do their best at all times, winning with modesty, accepting defeat gracefully and constantly exhibiting self-control. ARTICLE 4: DOJO (Training Hall) The dojo is a special place for training the mind and body. In the dojo, budo practitioners must maintain discipline, and show proper courtesies and respect. The dojo should be a quiet, clean, safe and solemn environment. ARTICLE 5: TEACHING Teachers of budo should always encourage others to also strive to better themselves and diligently train their minds and bodies, while continuing to further their understanding of the technical principles of budo. Teachers should not allow focus to be put on winning or losing in competition, or on technical ability alone. Above all, teachers have a responsibility to set an example as role models. ARTICLE 6: PROMOTING BUDO Persons promoting budo must maintain an open-minded and international perspective as they uphold traditional values. They should make efforts to contribute to research and teaching, and do their utmost to advance budo in every way.

1960- 2022 Mensaje del Doshu 2021 Hola a todos nuestros BUDOKAN y miembros de la familia de artes marciales contiguos. Aquí estamos al final de otro año y qué año ha sido para todos nosotros, pero primero de regreso a nuestro MUNDO BUDOKAN. Tengo que decir, ya que estoy seguro de que se unirán a mí para estar de acuerdo, Estoy tan orgullosa de Kyoshi David. por su esfuerzo, arduo trabajo y dedicación para seguir adelante con su sueño de construir BUDOKAN WORLD en una honorable institución de artes marciales reconocida internacionalmente, que abarca muchas artes y una amplia variedad de líderes respetados de todo el mundo. Algunos de nuestro Budokan original de hace años, y otros de diferentes sistemas, formando así una organización de la que todos estamos orgullosos. Lo que personalmente me enorgullece y me llena de humildad es que después de solo 60 años desde que formé la BUDOKAN SA original, Kyoshi David, quien ha estado conmigo durante casi tanto tiempo y nunca se ha desviado de la ética y las creencias que formé en ese momento. , HONOR, DEBER, RESPETO Y HUMILDAD... "FUERTE EN LA MANO, AMABLE EN EL CORAZÓN", de esto no puedo decirles todo lo que eso significa para mí personalmente, porque Kyoshi David siguió todo en lo que creía y soñaba, y lo ha llevado a un nivel superior y por ello tiene mi respeto y gratitud de por vida. No puedo pedir más de lo que ha dado. Creo que aquellos de ustedes lo suficientemente afortunados de estar bajo su guía personal en la vida y en el piso, sin importar el arte, tienen saber que te guían los mejores. Las artes marciales y sus Grandes Maestros de los muchos sistemas Fui privilegiado y honrado entrenar bajo en la década de 1960 definió mi vida, y con sus enseñanzas salí al mundo para tratar de hacer de nuestro único hogar, la Tierra, un lugar mejor para todos los que lo comparten con nosotros. Recientemente leí un pasaje que me gustaría compartir con ustedes, escrito por ese gran filósofo “Thomas Paine”, quien me pareció bien definido mi perfil, escribió: EL MUNDO ES MI PATRIA... TODA LA HUMANIDAD SON MIS HERMANOS Y HACER EL BIEN, ES MI RELIGIÓN. En este sentido quiero compartir con ustedes lo siguiente. Con respecto a los eventos mundiales de este año, como artistas marciales que siguen nuestro camino Budokan, les pido que hagan la siguiente parte de su camino a seguir. Me entristece lo que nos hemos convertido como raza humana; nunca la política ha estado tan hundida, nunca hemos tenido tantos conflictos, impulsado principalmente por la religión. Nunca hemos tenido tanta gente necesitada, en su mayoría niños, sin países, techo, comida y agua, más el sufrimiento criminal de millones de niños que no se atiende y parece empeorar. Mi súplica es que hagan que sea su misión este próximo año ofrecer toda la ayuda que puedan a los necesitados en sus áreas, sin importar cuán pequeños sean; cada poquito ayuda a los necesitados y necesitan ver que hay personas que se preocupan y, quizás a través de su generosidad, encontrarán la esperanza de una vida mejor en el futuro. Para terminar, les deseo a ustedes ya sus familias todo lo que puedan desear para ustedes mismos en el futuro. Que tengas éxito en la vida, amor y mucha felicidad y que el Poder que nos protege, te guarde de mal en el camino que puedas recorrer. Suyo en el espíritu de nuestro BUDOKAN... Doshu Richard Salmón Mensaje de año nuevo 2019 Mensaje de año nuevo 2018 de Richard Salmón Saludos a todos a medida que avanzamos hacia el final de otro año más. Espero que el 2018 haya sido bueno para ti y los tuyos y que hayas logrado todo lo que deseabas. En el frente de BUDOKAN, tengo que decir una vez más lo impresionado que estoy con el trabajo que KYOSHI DAVID PASSMORE está haciendo para desarrollar la historia del pasado y el futuro de BUDOKAN, y de lo que BUDOKAN realmente es y significa. Cuando veo esto, a medida que mi viaje y camino avanza hacia la cima de la montaña [¿lentamente, espero?], me da una gran esperanza de que nuestro BUDOKAN estará en buenas manos en el futuro, ya que no habrá excusa para seguir su liderazgo y todo lo que ha compartido. No tienes un mejor sensei para mostrarte el camino. En este mundo atribulado, si podemos seguir nuestro BUDOKAN KUN de HONOR, DEBER, RESPETO Y HUMILDAD y realmente practicar FUERTE EN MANOS, AMABLE EN CORAZÓN y compartir este código con otros, podemos, a través de nuestra capacitación, ayudar a hacer de nuestro mundo un mejor lugar para aquellos que lo comparten con nosotros. Ese es mi desafío para ti. Siempre he enseñado: "LA DECEPCIÓN MÁS GRANDE DE LA VIDA, ES CUANDO TE DECEPCIONES A TI MISMO" Ahora algunas noticias bien merecidas: Mi responsabilidad como DOSHU/FUNDADOR de BUDOKAN es asegurar que nuestros Miembros y Líderes reciban las recompensas que merecen por SUS AÑOS DE DEDICACIÓN Y PERFECCIÓN DEL ARTE, LEALTAD Y SERVICIO A LA ORGANIZACIÓN y en ese sentido, en este día 27 de noviembre de 2018, Es con HUMILDAD, EL MAYOR HONOR Y ORGULLO que premio a “KYOSHI” DAVID PASSMORE el merecido rango de KÁRATE 7º DAN Finalmente, a medida que avanzamos hacia el final de este año, les deseo a ustedes y a sus seres queridos todo lo que puedan desear para ustedes mismos para 2019, felicidad y, sobre todo, estar a salvo. Suyo en BUDO, RICARDO SALMÓN DOSHU BUDOKÁN A TODOS LOS MIEMBROS DE "BUDOKAN UK". A medida que nos acercamos al final de otro año más, quería compartir con todos ustedes un poco de antecedentes e historia de su SENSEI DAVID PASSMORE, ya que estuvo conmigo desde el comienzo de su "VIAJE BUDO". y sé, quizás más que ningún otro, lo lejos que ha viajado. Hace unos 50 años, cuando era joven, pisó el piso de mi dojo original "BUDOKAN" en la ciudad de Durban para comenzar un viaje que, incluso él, no tenía idea que lo llevaría a grandes alturas en nuestro ARTE DEL KARATE. -DO.Desde el principio mostró el potencial y la dedicación que se necesitaría para llevarlo a lo más alto.Entrenando cinco o seis veces por semana, en el dojo, en la playa o en la montaña en campos de entrenamiento, lo dio. hizo todo lo posible para convertirse en uno de los mejores estudiantes que he tenido el privilegio de enseñar. Su estándar y técnica pronto se convirtieron en el estándar para que otros los siguieran. En competencia, representó a nuestro Equipo Provincial de Natal "BUDOKAN" en muchas ocasiones tanto en Kata como en Kumite con Buenos resultados. Un momento destacado que creo que compartimos juntos como Sensei y Student. Fue en 1969, cuando se asoció conmigo para presentar una demostración de armas en los primeros Juegos Sudafricanos, el equivalente a los Juegos Olímpicos de Sudáfrica, que se organizó después de que Sudáfrica fuera expulsada de los Juegos Olímpicos por su política de apartheid. En los juegos Sensei David también representó al "ALL STYLES TEAM" en Kata y Kumite que representó a la Provincia de Natal contra un equipo del Reino Unido. Su partida al Reino Unido fue una gran pérdida para mí, porque fue una inspiración para los estudiantes más nuevos de lo que se podía lograr con una capacitación dedicada, y se había convertido en uno de los pocos que creía que podía llegar hasta el final, que es lo que tiene. hecho. Al dejar Sudáfrica y desarrollar su propio "Budokan UK", se llevó consigo todo lo que había tratado de inculcar en todos los que entrenaron con nosotros, HONOR, DEBER, RESPETO Y HUMILDAD, FUERZA DE MANO Y AMABLE DE CORAZÓN. y dedicación para capacitar y comprender los diferentes y más profundos aspectos de nuestro ART y lo hizo pero lo llevó a un nivel superior, por lo que estoy muy orgulloso. Entonces, con estos pequeños antecedentes, ustedes, sus alumnos, tienen una comprensión ligeramente mejor del hombre con el que están entrenando, un VERDADERO HOMBRE "BUDO" que tiene una comprensión completa de lo que significa ser un "Karate-ka completo y Artista Marcial". ". Como sus alumnos, no podrías pedir un mejor líder, no solo en nuestro Arte, sino en el viaje de la vida misma. Tengo el privilegio de llamarlo mi amigo. A medida que avanzamos hacia el AÑO NUEVO, les deseo a ustedes ya su familia todo lo que puedan desear para ustedes mismos, amor, éxito, felicidad y, sobre todo, seguridad. Finalmente me gustaría ofrecerles una antigua Bendición Africana: QUE EL PODER QUE NOS GUIA Y PROTEGE, SE INTERPARE SIEMPRE ENTRE VOSOTROS Y EL DAÑO EN EL CAMINO QUE DEBEIS VIAJAR. Atentamente, ricardo salmon DOSHU BUDOKAN ricardo salmon Fundador - Doshu - Budokan Más de una vida Por Richard Salmón Este es un libro fascinante sobre la vida de una persona extraordinaria. El comienzo cubre su vida temprana en Durban y su educación, su vida naval y su matrimonio con su compañera de toda la vida y esposa Dot y el nacimiento de sus dos hijos Grant y Robin. Richard comenzó su carrera aprendiendo el arte de Judo y más tarde se interesó por otras artes marciales japonesas. A través de la pura tenacidad en tratar de obtener conocimiento de estas artes desconocidas en Sudáfrica, el autor nos lleva a una experiencia que es difícil de comprender. Él de pie junto al muelle y gritando para llamar la atención de los miembros de la tripulación del barco de pesca japonés para preguntar si alguien sabía algo sobre Karate que pudieran enseñarle. A través de estos contactos, Richard viajó a Sao Palo en Brasil para aprender de uno de los maestros que vivieron. allí. Este vasto conocimiento que obtuvo lo impulsó a abrir su propio Dojo y de ahí nació Budokan. El deporte rápidamente se hizo muy popular y se extendió por toda Sudáfrica. Richard también viajó mucho a Japón para estudiar y entrenar con algunos de los grandes maestros del kárate. Este espíritu pionero se convirtió en uno de los dojos de karate más grandes de Sudáfrica. Ahora, unos sesenta años después, Budokan es una organización mundial y sigue siendo fuerte. Richard siempre creyó que educar a los jóvenes sobre temas ambientales tendría un impacto posterior en el mundo en el que vivimos. La Escuela de Liderazgo Juvenil de Montaña se inició en las montañas del Estado Libre del Este de Orange y más tarde la Escuela de Liderazgo Juvenil en el famoso YO Ranch en Texas. Richard era miembro de la Organización Mundial de la Vida Silvestre y también era amigo personal del príncipe Felipe Bernardo de los Países Bajos. El libro nos lleva a sus viajes alrededor del mundo enseñando conservación y liderazgo juvenil a los jóvenes. Richard se ha reunido con presidentes. Primeros ministros, reyes, reinas, multimillonarios, papas y mendigos en su búsqueda por hacer del mundo un lugar mejor para vivir. Salla gahle umfundi Calle Shihan Dix

BUXTON 2011 University of Derby Buxton 2011. The scene of the First Open Traditional Japanese Budo 2 day Seminars in the UK for decades with Budokan heavily involved in the creation, organisation and management of the event with great back up from the University and from a legion of like minded people passionate about Budo,like the very well known David Ansell who helped initiate the event and played an important part in its success.

CERTIFICATION With over 60 years of experience and technical excellence to draw on we provide only Black Belt Rank and Title recognition and accreditation to teachers, instructors, dojo leaders and students across all disciplines as a single discipline or as a multi-discipline, on recommendation only. THERE IS A CERTIFICATE OF GRADE OR RANK AND A CERTIFICATE OF TITLE. Each certificate has different wording in English and Japanese. The Certificate of Grade or Rank application is normally completed by the Dojo Leader for a current member of their Dojo. In the event of a Dojo Leader application it must come from an accredited source known to and supported by 2 current Dojo Leaders or Associates. THERE IS A FEE FOR A CERTIFICATE OF RANK. Scroll down for Grading Fee structure. A NOTE ON GRADING FEES For many years Budokan adopted a policy of not charging students for Kyu and Dan grade certification. This decision was justified on the common knowledge of grading systems becoming open to malpractice by officials of larger martial arts groups for the purpose of raising funds. When budokanworld.com was launched in 2010 we decided to ask the Dojo Leaders in the UK/EU/US and other countries, what a fair fee would be to pay for Dan Grades only issued by Budokan. After a few months of deliberation the Dojo Leaders generally felt that Budokan had real value in the technical excellence of their Dan Grades and suggested a number of options from which Budokan settled on the fair and reasonable Fee Structure below which, needless to say is below that which was presented. Esta es una captura de pantalla de los nuevos Certificados de Rango Budokan y es solo para fines visuales. El texto en inglés para cada uno de los certificados aparecerá en el espacio de la izquierda y el katakana en japonés en el espacio de la derecha. Se imprimirá en pergamino Magnollia.

12 BEST GENERAL BENEFITS OF MEDITATION Meditation has been shown to offer many benefits. Although it’s well known as a technique to reduce stress and anxiety, research shows that it may also help enhance your mood, promote healthy sleep patterns, and boost cognitive skills. Meditation is the habitual process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts. The popularity of meditation is increasing as more people discover its many health benefits. You can use it to increase awareness of yourself and your surroundings. Many people think of it as a way to reduce stress and develop concentration. People also use the practice to develop other beneficial habits and feelings, such as a positive mood and outlook, self-discipline, healthy sleep patterns, and even increased pain tolerance. This article reviews 12 health benefits of meditation. 1. Reduces stress Stress reduction is one of the most common reasons people try meditation. One review concluded that meditation lives up to its reputation for stress reduction (1Trusted Source). Normally, mental and physical stress cause increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This produces many of the harmful effects of stress, such as the release of inflammatory chemicals called cytokines. These effects can disrupt sleep, promote depression and anxiety, increase blood pressure, and contribute to fatigue and cloudy thinking. In an 8-week study, a meditation style called “mindfulness meditation” reduced the inflammation response caused by stress (2). Furthermore, research has shown that meditation may also improve symptoms of stress-related conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, and fibromyalgia (3, 4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source). Summary Many styles of meditation can help reduce stress. Meditation can likewise reduce symptoms in people with stress-triggered medical conditions. 2. Controls anxiety Meditation can reduce stress levels, which translates to less anxiety. A meta-analysis including nearly 1,300 adults found that meditation may decrease anxiety. Notably, this effect was strongest in those with the highest levels of anxiety (6Trusted Source). Also, one study found that 8 weeks of mindfulness meditation helped reduce anxiety symptoms in people with generalized anxiety disorder, along with increasing positive self-statements and improving stress reactivity and coping (7Trusted Source). Another study in 47 people with chronic pain found that completing an 8-week meditation program led to noticeable improvements in depression, anxiety, and pain over 1 year (8Trusted Source). What’s more, some research suggests that a variety of mindfulness and meditation exercises may reduce anxiety levels (9Trusted Source). For example, yoga has been shown to help people reduce anxiety. This is likely due to benefits from both meditative practice and physical activity (10Trusted Source). Meditation may also help control job-related anxiety. One study found that employees who used a mindfulness meditation app for 8 weeks experienced improved feelings of well-being and decreased distress and job strain, compared with those in a control group (11Trusted Source). Summary Habitual meditation can help reduce anxiety and improve stress reactivity and coping skills. 3. Promotes emotional health Some forms of meditation can lead to improved self-image and a more positive outlook on life. For example, one review of treatments given to more than 3,500 adults found that mindfulness meditation improved symptoms of depression (12Trusted Source). Similarly, a review of 18 studies showed that people receiving meditation therapies experienced reduced symptoms of depression, compared with those in a control group (13Trusted Source). Another study found that people who completed a meditation exercise experienced fewer negative thoughts in response to viewing negative images, compared with those in a control group (14Trusted Source). Furthermore, inflammatory chemicals called cytokines, which are released in response to stress, can affect mood, leading to depression. A review of several studies suggests meditation may also reduce depression by decreasing levels of these inflammatory chemicals (15Trusted Source). Summary Some forms of meditation can improve depression and reduce negative thoughts. It may also decrease levels of inflammatory cytokines, which could contribute to depression. 4. Enhances self-awareness Some forms of meditation may help you develop a stronger understanding of yourself, helping you grow into your best self. For example, self-inquiry meditation explicitly aims to help you develop a greater understanding of yourself and how you relate to those around you. Other forms teach you to recognize thoughts that may be harmful or self-defeating. The idea is that as you gain greater awareness of your thought habits, you can steer them toward more constructive patterns (16Trusted Source, 17Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source). One review of 27 studies showed that practicing tai chi may be associated with improved self-efficacy, which is a term used to describe a person’s belief in their own capacity or ability to overcome challenges (19Trusted Source). In another study, 153 adults who used a mindfulness meditation app for 2 weeks experienced reduced feelings of loneliness and increased social contact compared with those in a control group (20Trusted Source). Additionally, experience in meditation may cultivate more creative problem-solving skills (21Trusted Source). Summary Self-inquiry and related styles of meditation can help you “know yourself.” This can be a starting point for making other positive changes. 5. Lengthens attention span Focused-attention meditation is like weight lifting for your attention span. It helps increase the strength and endurance of your attention. For example, one study found that people who listened to a meditation tape experienced improved attention and accuracy while completing a task, compared with those in a control group (22Trusted Source). A similar study showed that people who regularly practiced meditation performed better on a visual task and had a greater attention span than those without any meditation experience (23Trusted Source). Moreover, one review concluded that meditation may even reverse patterns in the brain that contribute to mind-wandering, worrying, and poor attention (24Trusted Source). Even meditating for a short period each day may benefit you. One study found that meditating for just 13 minutes daily enhanced attention and memory after 8 weeks (25Trusted Source). Summary Several types of meditation may build your ability to redirect and maintain attention. 6. May reduce age-related memory loss Improvements in attention and clarity of thinking may help keep your mind young. Kirtan Kriya is a method of meditation that combines a mantra or chant with repetitive motion of the fingers to focus your thoughts. Studies in people with age-related memory loss have shown it improves performance on neuropsychological tests (26Trusted Source). Furthermore, a review found preliminary evidence that multiple meditation styles can increase attention, memory, and mental quickness in older volunteers (27Trusted Source). In addition to fighting normal age-related memory loss, meditation can at least partially improve memory in patients with dementia. It can likewise help control stress and improve coping in those caring for family members with dementia (28Trusted Source, 29Trusted Source). Summary The improved focus you can gain through regular meditation may boost your memory and mental clarity. These benefits can help fight age-related memory loss and dementia. 7. Can generate kindness Some types of meditation may particularly increase positive feelings and actions toward yourself and others. Metta, a type of meditation also known as loving-kindness meditation, begins with developing kind thoughts and feelings toward yourself. Through practice, people learn to extend this kindness and forgiveness externally, first to friends, then acquaintances, and ultimately enemies. A meta-analysis of 22 studies on this form of meditation demonstrated its ability to increase peoples’ compassion toward themselves and others (30Trusted Source). One study in 100 adults randomly assigned to a program that included loving-kindness meditation found that these benefits were dose-dependent. In other words, the more time people spent in weekly metta meditation practice, the more positive feelings they experienced (31). Another study in 50 college students showed that practicing metta meditation 3 times per week improved positive emotions, interpersonal interactions, and understanding of others after 4 weeks (32Trusted Source). These benefits also appear to accumulate over time with the practice of loving-kindness meditation (33Trusted Source). Summary Metta, or loving-kindness meditation, is a practice of developing positive feelings, first toward yourself and then toward others. Metta increases positivity, empathy, and compassionate behavior toward others. 8. May help fight addictions The mental discipline you can develop through meditation may help you break dependencies by increasing your self-control and awareness of triggers for addictive behaviors (34Trusted Source). Research has shown that meditation may help people learn to redirect their attention, manage their emotions and impulses, and increase their understanding of the causes behind their (35Trusted Source, 36Trusted Source). One study in 60 people receiving treatment for alcohol use disorder found that practicing transcendental meditation was associated with lower levels of stress, psychological distress, alcohol cravings, and alcohol use after 3 months (37Trusted Source). Meditation may also help you control food cravings. A review of 14 studies found mindfulness meditation helped participants reduce emotional and binge eating (38Trusted Source). Summary Meditation develops mental awareness and can help you manage triggers for unwanted impulses. This can help you recover from addiction, manage unhealthy eating, and redirect other unwanted habits. 9. Improves sleep Nearly half of the population will struggle with insomnia at some point. One study compared mindfulness-based meditation programs and found that people who meditated stayed asleep longer and had improved insomnia severity, compared with those who had an unmedicated control condition (39). Becoming skilled in meditation may help you control or redirect the racing or runaway thoughts that often lead to insomnia. Additionally, it can help relax your body, releasing tension and placing you in a peaceful state in which you’re more likely to fall asleep. Summary A variety of meditation techniques can help you relax and control runaway thoughts that can interfere with sleep. This can shorten the time it takes to fall asleep and increase sleep quality. 10. Helps control pain Your perception of pain is connected to your state of mind, and it can be elevated in stressful conditions. Some research suggests that incorporating meditation into your routine could be beneficial for controlling pain. For example, one review of 38 studies concluded that mindfulness meditation could reduce pain, improve quality of life, and decrease symptoms of depression in people with chronic pain (40Trusted Source). A large meta-analysis of studies enrolling nearly 3,500 participants concluded that meditation was associated with decreased pain (41Trusted Source). Meditators and non-meditators experienced the same causes of pain, but meditators showed a greater ability to cope with pain and even experienced a reduced sensation of pain. Summary Meditation can diminish the perception of pain in the brain. This may help treat chronic pain when used to supplement medical care or physical therapy. 11. Can decrease blood pressure Meditation can also improve physical health by reducing strain on the heart. Over time, high blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood, which can lead to poor heart function. High blood pressure also contributes to atherosclerosis, or a narrowing of the arteries, which can lead to heart attack and stroke. A meta-analysis of 12 studies enrolling nearly 1000 participants found that meditation helped reduce blood pressure. This was more effective among older volunteers and those who had higher blood pressure prior to the study (42Trusted Source). One review concluded that several types of meditation produced similar improvements in blood pressure (43Trusted Source). In part, meditation appears to control blood pressure by relaxing the nerve signals that coordinate heart function, blood vessel tension, and the “fight-or-flight” response that increases alertness in stressful situations (44Trusted Source). Summary Blood pressure decreases not only during meditation but also over time in individuals who meditate regularly. This can reduce strain on the heart and arteries, helping prevent heart disease. 12.
