Budo (n.)
Martial arts. Same as budjutsu or bugei. The way of the warrior. Learning to live as a human being through training in the martial arts. In 1919 (Taisho 8), the dai Nippon Butoku-kai, the supervising orginization for the martial arts at the time, changed the names of gekken, jujutsu, and kyujutsu, to kendo, judo and kyudo, respectively. The term budo was then used to refer collectively to these disiplines. The new names reflected the fact that martial arts training has an important spiritual side and does not consist only of training in techniques. Today budo encompasses even more disiplines, with the term being used widely to refer to martial arts such as kendo, judo, kyudo, sumo, naginata, aikido, karatedo, jukendo, and shorinji kenpo.

Don't touch your opponents jinbu in a shiai.
And good when used as a proper noun, as in the name of the wonderful dojo that I train at.Quote:
