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.

How do you handle the stresses of your every day?
How much are you involved in active recreation?
How much exercise are you able to do every week?
Do you have a sense of purpose?
If you tick all of the boxes then you are either lucky or in a good place - or both!
