Welcome

Budo is an ideal Martial Art for all age groups, boys or girls of varying sizes and abilities.

Confidence and self-esteem are improved as a practitioner progresses through the ranks and the very nature of the grading system ensures that the next goal is always realistic and achievable with effort.

Budo Training is an ideal form of physical exercise and serves as a great cardiovascular workout, which improves stamina, general health and overall  fitness.

The Martial Arts develop self ~ discipline and  respect that practitioners have for themselves and others .

As well as building self ~ confidence , Budo  training also assists in addressing issues such as passivity and a lack of assertiveness.

The Sho ~ Shin Budo Kwai upholds the principal that all children whatever their age , culture, disability, gender, language,  racial origin, religious belief and / or sexual  identity have the right to participate in the Martial Arts.

The Society and the Sensei’s are committed to the welfare and protection of children so that they can enjoy sporting activities in safety .

We create this through a stable programme, where the Sensei’s ( teachers ) are always  cheerful, approachable and resourceful.

Our daily thoughts and actions should be directed towards the benefit of others. The mountains, trees and rivers change their appearance with the vicissitudes of time and    seasons, as a man changes with his  experiences and emotions.

BE FRIENDLY

Friends are very important; as are a friendly manner and a genuine smile.

DEDICATION

The Sho ~ Shin Budo Kwai is dedicated to all those  Sensei’s and Trainee Sensei’s who carry the flickering lantern of light so that others may follow, and  to those students who stumble and fall along  the path of Budo, unable to proceed by themselves.

The Sho ~ Shin Budo Kwai hopes that through the practice of  Martial Arts you may in some way improve your life and the lives of those around you.
