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.

DEAL DOJO ROY ESTABROOK HAS NOW MOVED TO DEAL IN KENT WHERE HE IS TO OPEN A NEW BUDOKAN DOJO SOON. WE WILL BRING YOU NEWS OF THAT OF COURSE..... MEANWHILE HERE IS HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY. My journey in the Japanese M artial Arts began in 1972, aged 18 when I enrolled in the Budokan UK Northolt Karate dojo run by Sensei David Passmore. At th at time there were two classes on a Tuesday and a Thursday evening in a school gym. I attended both of those. There were a lot of people interested in taking up Martial Arts so Sensei had to run two classes each night. One for beginners which ran for 90 minutes and one for Kyu grades which ran for two hours. We only practiced Karate in those early years, and my first grading certificate says Budo-ryu karate grade 6th kyu. I can remember registering on my first evening of training. Standing in a queue with Sandi Groom who was sitting by the entrance, taking names down. It was intimidating at first but I remember over all it was a welcoming atmosphere. Each class usually consisted of Kihon, Ippon Kumite and Kata. Sometimes the beginners class was run by Sandi Groom or Marion Tinkler. We didn't have a lot of female students so it was good to have these two formidable and pioneer women leading the class. By the time I reached my Shodan grading in 1977 , Aikido had become an intrinsic part of the practice. I took the grading with two other students, and we had to go through four preparation classes at the High Rocks dojo which was then the Hombu dojo. To say they were demanding would be a huge understatement but they did prepare us well for what was to come. We also had to write four short essays on different subjects relating to our practice. The memories of that day are as strong as ever and receiving my black belt from Sensei was a great moment. Under the technical direction of Sensei David Passmore, I became Chief Instructor at the King's College Dojo on the Strand in London. Around the same time, I was promoted to Chief Instructor of the Northolt dojo when it was relocated to a new home. The new premises at Northolt allowed us to have a mat down permanently as we were the sole user of the premises. It also had an area outside where we could practice in the summer months. Instructing at two dojos meant that I was teaching five sessions a week thus finessing my teaching skills and style. I would also attend the Sunday training class that Sensei held at the High Rocks dojo. The King's College Dojo expanded very quickly. The classes were on a Wednesday evening from 7pm to 9pm, and Saturday Morning from 11am to 1pm. We were the only Martial Arts club at the college then, and interest was high. We often had up to fifty beginner students training. Sensei would come to teach once a month at the Saturday morning class. We held Gashkyu at King's College on a regular basis under his guidance, usually to combine with Gradings. It was at the Christmas Gashkyu on the 6th December 1980 that I was proud to receive my Nidan grade. The first time that Sensei had awarded that prestigious grade. A few years later, the Northolt dojo closed for land redevelopment and I took this opportunity to open a new dojo in Edgware. Eventually the Edgware dojo changed venue to Bounds Green where Roger Tym was the instructor. I moved to Cambridgeshire where I would continue to teach. It was a time of tremendous growth in Budokan, and for myself as I was able to guide and teach Kyu grades through to their Shodan. During this period, our Gashkyu were held at the National Sports centre in Crystal Palace. They consisted of two day residential seminars on weekends. The Sunday Morning class started with Shinkantaza at 7am before breakfast. Despite the raucous traditional party on the Saturday evening, most students would attend the Zazen. Sensei would invite guest instructors to teach on different sections on the mat. Sensei Vic Cook came and taught one memorable Iaido class. It was at a Gashkyu at Crystal Palace in April of 1982 that I was granted my Sandan. Sensei David Passmore always encouraged his students to expand their knowledge of the Martial Arts and I attended Aikido courses taught by different Sensei. These included Sensei Saito , Sensei Tamura, Sensei Tomita, and Sensei Minoru Kanetsuka when he was invited to our club for a two-day course. It was a very intensive weekend and I think I've still got a right shoulder injury to remember him by. For the first two hours of the opening session, he concentrated on my favourite Suwariwaza ikkyo before we went through the remaining Katame Waza. In 1991, I received a personal invitation from Master Minoru Mochizuki, founder of his own school of Martial Arts, the Yoseikan Budo. I had been writing to him for advice on matters relating to classical bu-jutsu so I gratefully accepted that invitation to train at his Hombu Dojo in Shizuoka, Japan. Minoru Mochizuki had been Uchi-deshi to Jigoro Kano and to Morihei Ueshiba as well as studying with Gichen Funakoshi. Only two people ever received a Menkyo Kaiden from O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba: Kenji Tomiki and Minoru Mochizuki. The Yoseikan school's training curriculum was similar to that of Budokan: to practice more than one Martial Art and therefore remain open-minded in your development. I was going to represent Budokan so I felt compelled to intensify my training prior to my travelling to Japan. I stayed at the Yoseikan Hombu Dojo for four weeks and trained relentlessly every single day in order to gain as much understanding as I could from this great teacher. The Dojo operated daily, with Aikido on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Thursday evening was free practice. The Aikido nights always included Karate training. Each session began with the punch bag when a variety of punches and strikes with the hands and elbows were practiced, followed by a full range of kicking techniques. What separates Yoseikan Aiki from other schools is the use of Sutemi Waza [sacrifice throws]. I had never practiced this before and found that this judo influence helped my understanding of Aikido. Just as Jujitsu-influenced Karate increased my own understanding of Karate. I would often practice in the afternoon on my own. I particularly enjoyed using the Dojo's Makiwara. I was told by one of the Master's Uchi-Deshi that he was happy with my progress. This level of commitment led me to be invited back but sadly I could not return. In my work as a Director of Photography, I travelled extensively. I was fortunate enough to visit our Budokan dojo in Bahrain where Mahmoud Fahkro had his club. He kindly asked me to teach some classes and was particularly interested in me leading a kata class. I practiced some T'ai Chi ch'uan in Hong Kong. Our local production fixer introduced me to a t'ai chi teacher who guided me through one t'ai chi form. I was very interested in the passive and active principles of the form and the breathing linked to the movement. I had to get up very early and train in a park before going to work. I was able to practice some Gojo ryu in Australia. I had attended a Gojo ryu classes at home in Ely and I had agreed with the instructor that I would teach him some Aikido in exchange of Gojo ryu Kata Shisochin . He gave me a letter of introduction to a dojo in Sydney where I was able to train on my visit. I was awarded my Yondan on the 21st November 1987 at a Gashkyu in Wadhurst. The same hall that I had achieved my Shodan. I have always considered the martial Art studied within Budokan to be of the highest quality and when Kyoshi asked me to be on the Shihankai, I was truly honoured to be involved. I hope my experience can be of benefit as we continue to diligently study on our chosen path. One of the most treasured memories I have is being able to do some Zazen at Sigiriya rock in SriLanka - a place of Buddhist retreat and meditation for as far back as the 3rd century BC. Budokan is the only Martial Arts organisation that I know of that includes Zazen as part of its programme. Studying the Martial Arts has had a major influence on my life, and with the formal introduction of Zazen into the training syllabus back in the 1980's perhaps the biggest influence of all.

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.

The personal Henko of each of these examiners will appear on the Certificate of Rank along with the Henko of the Doshu Richard Salmon and Kyoshi David Passmore. 5 A period of 6-8 weeks needs to be factored into the review process. 6 Once a decision has been reached either way, the recommender is informed directly by email. 7 If approved, an appropriate certificate is drawn up, dated, numbered and photographed with the appropriate Henko in place. This photographic evidence of Rank will be placed on the appropriate Dojo Page (in the public domain) for all to see. It wi also be registered for copyright protection and placed in our Dan Grade (Black Belt) Register. 8 If not approved, the recommender is informed as to the reasons why this decision has been reached by email and if appropriate offer outline measures to take that will allow a repeat application to take place within 12 months at no further cost to the applicant. 9 All certificates will be carefully rolled up and inserted into a secure tube and sent by post to the recommender to pass on or direct to the receiver, as appropriate. A signature will be required at each destination if possible. * Peer Review functions as a form of self-regulation by qualified members of our Traditional Japanese Budo Community.

Sensei "Professor ou Aquele que já foi": Este título é de longe o título mais usado no karatê e geralmente se refere a alguém do nível Yon-Dan (Faixa Preta de 4º Grau). Muitos instrutores seniores, incluindo Hanshi Masami Tsuruoka, afirmam que este é o título mais honroso que um aluno pode usar ao se referir ao sênior como seu professora. O título Sensei implica um vínculo estreito entre o relacionamento do aluno e do professor. 2. Shihan: "Professor Mestre ou Especialista": É importante entender que o significado Mestre como usado na arte marcial artes é alguém que dominou os entendimentos básicos e avançados {Princípios} de um estilo ou sistema particular, assim o título Shihan significa alguém que dominou as técnicas básicas e avançadas, bem como os princípios, conceitos e teoria de seu respectivo estilo de karatê. O título Shihan não significa que essa pessoa parou de aprender porque sabe todas as respostas. Pelo contrário, eles são considerados os alunos mais sérios e dedicados em qualquer estilo de artes marciais. O título Shihan é geralmente considerado um título organizacional sozinho e tem pouco significado (pode não ser reconhecido) fora do estilo ou organização do titular. 3. Doshi: "Professor Líder": Título às vezes usado antes de Renshi (3º dan) 4. Renshi: "Professor Especialista Sênior": Este é o primeiro dos três geralmente títulos de professores usados. Embora este título seja independente do posto, raramente é dado a alguém abaixo do posto de Go-Dan. (5º dan) 5. Tasshi ou Tesshi: "Professor Mestre Aprendiz": Este título era originalmente o título usado em vez de Kyoshi. 6. Kyoshi: "Master Teacher, Teacher of Teachers": Este é o segundo dos três títulos de professor geralmente usados. Embora este título seja independente do sistema de classificação, raramente é dado a alguém abaixo do posto de Roku-dan e na maioria dos casos Shichi-dan). (7º dan) 7. Hanshi: "Professor Mestre Sênior": Este é o terceiro e mais alto dos três títulos de professor geralmente usados. Embora este título seja independente do sistema de classificação, raramente é dado a alguém abaixo do posto de Hachi-Dan (Faixa Preta de 8º Grau) 8. Iemoto/Soke Um iemoto pode ser chamado pelo título Iemoto ou O-iemoto, ou pelo título Sōshō ou Ō-sensei em inglês. "Grande Mestre" é muitas vezes o título que é usado. As principais funções do Iemoto são liderar a escola e proteger suas tradições, ser a autoridade final em assuntos relacionados à escola, emitir ou aprovar licenças e certificados e, em alguns casos, instruir os praticantes mais avançados

RAY RYAN RAYMOND EDWARD RYAN Nascido em 1 de julho de 1936 Joanesburgo – África do Sul Faleceu em 13 de novembro de 1989 – Durban - África do Sul Ray começou seu treinamento de karatê com Shukokai, onde se juntou a Richard Salmon. Em 1963, Richard Salmon e Ray Ryan abriram um dojo em Sarnia, Durban, chamado Budokan. Eles adquiriram um terreno em Westville, África do Sul e com a ajuda de seus alunos construíram um dojo ali que foi o primeiro Budokan Honbu. Em 1965/66, Hanshi Chojiro Tani, veio para a África do Sul e muitos dos karatecas do Budokan tiveram a grande sorte de serem treinados por ele. Sua visita foi seguida por Seiichi Fugiwara, Instrutor Chefe do Departamento de Ensino da WKU (Gōjū-ryū) e mais tarde também Shigeru Kimura Shukokai Hombu dojo. Richard Salmon foi classificado para Sandan em Shukokai Karate por Chojiro Tani. Em 1967, Richard Salmon Ray Ryan foi para o Japão, onde treinaram no Gōgen Yamaguchi karate-dō dojo em Nippori, Tóquio Japão. Na foto abaixo, Richard Salmon e Ray Ryan são vistos com Chojiro Tani (ajoelhado à esquerda), Gosen Yamaguchi (ajoelhado no centro), Gosei Yamaguchi (ajoelhado à direita) e Goshi Yamaguchi (em pé à direita). Em 1969, Ray Ryan assumiu o Budokan quando Richard Salmon partiu para iniciar sua Mountain Leadership School. Em 1970, o Budokan foi introduzido na Inglaterra por Daivid Passmore. Em 1974, Ray Ryan e vários karatecas seniores do Budokan foram convidados por Gogen Yamaguchi para treinar em seu novo dojo na sede do Gōjū-kai em Suginami-ku, Tóquio, Japão, próximo ao movimentado distrito comercial de Roppongi. Em 1978, Ray Ryan foi novamente convidado por Gogen Yamaguchi para treinar no Karate College iniciado por ele na sede do Gōjū-kai em Suginami-ku. Mais uma vez, vários karatecas seniores se juntaram a ele nesta viagem. Os convidados a treinar na faculdade de Karate são vistos aqui retratados com Gogen Hamaguchi (sentado na frente central) e Wakako Yamaguchi (segundo traseiro esquerdo). Na viagem de 1978, o karateka do Budokan também teve a grande sorte de treinar com Chojiro Tani. Ele está ajoelhado na frente central. Em 1979 Chojiro Tani e Shigeru Kimura retornaram à África do Sul e os membros do Budokan foram novamente convidados a treinar com eles. Isso foi organizado por Edwin Ward de Shukukai e aconteceu na Radio House em Durban.
