Appendix

A ppendix 2 The Bud Charter

The Bud Charter
Bud, 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 (d).
Seeking the perfect unity of mind and technique, bud has been refined and cultivated into ways of physical
training and spiritual development. The study of bud encourages courteous behaviour, advances technical
proficiency, strengthens the body, and perfects the mind. Modern Japanese have inherited traditional values
through bud which continue to play a significant role in the formation of the Japanese personality, serving
as sources of boundless energy and rejuvenation. As such, bud has attracted strong interest internationally,
and is studied around the world.
However, a trend towards infatuation just with technical ability compounded by an excessive concern
with winning is a severe threat to the essence of bud. To prevent any possible misrepresentation,
practitioners of bud must continually engage in self-examination and endeavour to perfect and preserve
this traditional culture.
It is with this hope that we, the member organizations of the Japanese Bud Association, established
The Bud Charter in order to uphold the fundamental principles of bud.
Article 1: Objective of Bud
Through physical and mental training in the Japanese martial ways, bud 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 bud, 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
bud. They must do their best at all times, winning with modesty, accepting defeat gracefully and constantly
exhibiting self-control.
Article 4: Dj (Training Hall)
The dj is a special place for training the mind and body. In the dj, bud practitioners must maintain
discipline, and show proper courtesies and respect. The dj should be a quiet, clean, safe and solemn
environment.
Article 5: Teaching
Teachers of bud 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
bud. 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 Bud
Persons promoting bud 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 bud in every way.
125

The History and Spirit of Bud

A ppendix 3 Japanese Bud Association and the Japanese Academy of Bud

Japanese Bud Association
The Nippon Budokan was instrumental in establishing the Japanese Bud Association (Nippon Bud
Kygikai) in 1977. The associaton consisted of the nine federations representing jd, kend, kyd,
sum, karated, aikid, shrinji kemp, naginata, and jkend. The stated purpose was as follows:
To facilitate contact between the affiliated organizations to promote the spirit of each art, and
ultimately to benefit the physical and mental wellbeing of the nations people. In particular, the
education of youth is considered essential for the creation of a healthy country, through which we
will be able make a national contribution to the stability and prosperity of the world.

The Japanese Academy of Bud was established in 1978 as an organization not only for university academics
but also enthusiasts. The Academy publishes research findings in The Research Journal of Budo (available
online), and holds an annual convention for research presentations in the categories of humanities, natural
sciences, and education and instruction. A symposium addressing a specified theme is also conducted.
There are six branches in Tokyo, Saitama, Yamanashi, Tkai, Hokuriku and Osaka, and specialist subdivisions for jd, kend, kyd, sum, karated and naginata. Currently, there are nine-hundred members,
and the head office is based in the Nippon Budokan.

Appendix

A ppendix 5 Bud References in English, French, German and Spanish

This list of books related to the various martial arts in English, French, Spanish and German is by no
means comprehensive, but should serve as a useful guide for further reading.

English
Aikid

Stanley Pranin, Aikido News Encyclopedia, Aiki News, 1989

Stanley Pranin, the editor of the Aikido Journal, is one of the most influential and prolific writers on aikid.
This book is a valuable reference containing detailed information about many influential aikid masters,
and other useful material pertaining to the history and philosophy of the art.
Ueshiba Kisshmaru, The Spirit of Aikido, Kodansha International, 1988
Kisshmaru, second Dshu and son of the founder of aikid, presents some of the principles and
philosophies of the art in a clear and succinct way. This book is an interesting and informative introduction
into the often nebulous theories espoused in aikid.
Ueshiba Morihei, Budo: Teachings of the Founder of Aikido, Kodansha International, 1996
The founder of aikid did not write much about his art, making the content of this book originally penned
in the 1930s a valuable compendium of his ideals. Concise and inspirational in some sections, other areas are
somewhat difficult to comprehend. Nevertheless, this book is a vital addition to the martial arts scholar, and
the material was translated and edited masterfully by the well-known aikid practitioner John Stevens.

Jd

Kan Jigor, Kodokan Judo, Kodansha International, 1994

This book was first published in 1955, and is considered to be the definitive text on jd by many experts.
It contains descriptions of the formal techniques of jd, and all seven sets of kata. The descriptions are
brief, but are useful to both advanced and novice practitioners.
Syd Hoare, The AZ of Judo, Ippon Books, 1993
Syd Hoare collated information from a number of authoritative texts, and brought it together in this
volume with clear photographs to introduce many jd techniques. This book is a valuable reference for
the technical aspects of jd.

Karate

Funakoshi Gichin, The Twenty Guiding Principles of Karate: The Spiritual Legacy of the Master,
Kodansha International, 2003
Written by the father of Japanese karate, this volume examines the essence of the art he introduced into
mainland Japan in the 1920s. Although Funakoshi founded Shtkan karate, the principles contained in
the book are applicable to all styles of karate.
Nakayama Masatoshi, Dynamic Karate, Kodansha International, 1987
The late Masatoshi Nakayama, former chief instructor of the Japan Karate Association, illustrates in detail
the correct movements involved in various standard blocks, punches, and kicks used in karate. The book
also contains a useful glossary of karate terms.

Kend

Ozawa Hiroshi, Kendo: The Definitive Guide, Kodansha International, 1997

This highly acclaimed book contains useful information about all aspects of kend. This includes the history
of kend, techniques, competitions, and even guidelines for running training sessions. Ozawa hails from a
highly influential family of kend masters, and passed the extremely difficult 8-dan examination in 2010.
129

The History and Spirit of Bud

Sakai Toshinobu (translated by Alexander Bennett), Bilingual Guide to the History of Kendo, Ski
Journal, 2010
A recent addition to the growing body of literature related to kend, this book covers the historical
evolution of the philosophy and culture of Japanese swordsmanship. As a bilingual publication, the
Japanese text is placed on the left pages, and the English on the right. Apart from elucidating the often
confusing historical aspects of kend, this small volume may be of particular interest to practitioners who
are also studying the Japanese language.
Sasamori Junz and Gordon Warner, This is Kendo: The Art of Japanese Fencing, Tuttle Publishing, 1989 (reprint)
This book is considered the classic introduction to kend in the English language. Although slightly
dated now, especially some of explanations for applied techniques, it provides a relatively comprehensive
overview of kend history, culture and waza.
Kendo World Journal Vol. 15, Bunkasha International
Kendo World is a biannual publication devoted to kend, but also with sections dealing with kory, iaid,
jd and naginata and related arts. The content varies and contains information on history, philosophy,
and techniques of kend. Featuring articles translated from Kend Jidai and Kend Nihon, as well as
original articles, Kendo World is highly acclaimed as a reliable source of information, and the only regular
English language publication dedicated to the Japanese sword arts.

Kyd

Onuma Hideharu, Dan and Jackie DeProspero, Kyudo: The Essence and Practice of Japanese
Archery, Kodansha International, 1993
This volume is undoubtedly the most comprehensive guide available in English on kyd. The authors offer
detailed explanations on both the spiritual and the technical aspects of the art. The text is accompanied
by hundreds of illustrations and photographs, making it a useful reference for practitioners of all levels.

Naginata

Alexander Bennett, Naginata: The Definitive Guide, KW Publications, 2005

This book covers the history and practice of Naginata, using original source materials, and technical photos
taken under the guidance of Kimura Yasuko. Sanctioned by the International Naginata Federation, this is
the first comprehensive English-language guide to this growing martial art, and the first in any language
to comprehensively collate information on the history, philosophy, techniques and rules of the art into
one volume.

General

Alexander Bennett (ed.), Budo Perspectives, KW Publications, 2005

This publication is the result of an international symposium: The Direction of Japanese Bud in the 21st
Century: Past, Present, Future, conducted at the International Research Centre for Japanese Studies in
November, 2003. The book contains academic articles related to the history, philosophy, and educational
aspects of many different types of bud by leading Japanese and foreign scholars in the field.
Alexander Bennett (ed. & trans.), Bud: The Martial Ways of Japan, Nippon Budokan Foundation,
2009
First published in Japanese to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Japanese Bud Association, this
book is essentially a report by the various federations outlining the inroads made over the last four decades
in popularizing their arts, and the issues they face in the future. The underlying theme is one of urgency.
How can the bud world appeal to generations of people who potentially stand to benefit from what
bud has to offer? The purpose and content of the English version is slightly different from the Japanese
volume as it includes a degree of contextual clarification, specifically for non-Japanese readers with little
knowledge of Japans history, or of the various bud arts that exist.
