The classical budo, or "martial ways" are not combat systems like their forerunner, bujutsu,
or "martial arts"; nor are they sports like modern judo, kendo, or karate.
They are first and foremost spiritual disciplines, whose ultimate goal, achieved through
the most rigorous mental and physical training, is self-realization in the tradition of Zen Buddhism.

MINDtime
ONE MOMENT AT A TIME
THAT IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED
A MOMENT IN TIME THAT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY SO THAT IN THE MOMENT YOU STOP.
IN AWAY AND WONDER.
YOUR BREATHING LITERALLY SLOWS DOWN AS YOU WATCH.
AND IN MOST CASES, A DEEP CALM ENVELOPS YOU.
TOO SOON THE MOMENT IS GONE.

MAKE YOUR OWN MINDTIME
