What makes Budo Taijutsu different?

Budo Taijutsu, is one of the few surviving complete martial arts. Undiluted by an emphasis on tournaments, sport technique, or artificial rules, it teaches shinkengata - actual self-defense techniques.

Budo Taijutsu uses relaxed natural movement and distance to overcome an opponent's speed and strength. Movement is refined for grace and naturalness in all actions until power results from mere movement, and evasion from a simple adjustment of position.

By not relying on speed or strength, the art becomes the perfect vehicle for personal defense against stronger and faster opponents as well as provides the skills to defend when injured or just plain getting old!

Our 1000-year old tradition is a complete martial art, and as such incorporates strikes, punches, kicks, throws, locks, tumbling, weaponry, stealth, meditation, spiritual empowerment, and a literally unlimited universe of henka (variations of all the above into the flow of actual combat).
