-- What is Bushiki-juku? --

Bushiki-juku practice Budo with its policy "To become better yourself through practicing Budo's mindset, knowledge and techniques".
Budo's mindset is to mind "Nothing can be predicted in life". Budo's knowledge is "To understand what to do at the time", and Budo's technique is "To perform the knowledge at the time".
Bushiki-juku(武識塾) got its name after "To learn Budo's mindset and knowledge".
Our goal is, to learn the way to overcome a danger in happy life, and to be always prepared for a danger; to improving daily life.

"Heart" than "Technique"

Bushiki-juku's primary purpose is "To establish good personality"
This word is often used in other Budo/Bujutsu. However, in Bushiki-juku, we think it a little different.
One says, Budo is "a way to establish good personality having moral and manner by practice mind,technique and phisical altogether", and "physical culture and a way to establish good personality". Thus, Budo has a pair of wheels of "physical exercise" and "to establish personality".
On the other hand, in Bushiki-juku, "to establish personality" is the only wheel, and "physical exercise" is just a momentum to move the wheel. In another word, conventional Budo practice "mind" and "physical" at the same time, and Bushiki-juku practices "mind" first and use "physical" for it.

"Fantasy of Budo"

Budo, martial arts and sports often appeal to practice "mind" and "physical" at the same time, but I feel they often tend to focus on only one side.
It is not easy to accomplish two things together. Practice of "mind" and "physical" together is ideal, but in reality, it can easily tend to practice just "physical". That is why we, Bushiki-juku focuses on "mind" first. "Physical-practice leads to mind-practice" is just a fantasy. You can easily see it if you see the reality.
There surely are techniques having those policies. But it is like movies and songs claiming peace hardly change the world.
But the fantasy of Budo/Bujutsu is still alive. Bushiki-juku just focus on practicing "mind" as it is the final purpose. We of course seek physical improvement, because we need body to have mind. But we cannot ignore one by appealing two.
"It is nothing if we cannot show it". Bushiki-juku always minds it all the time, and would like to practice together.




 -- Why do we practice techniques to beat someone? -- 
To know human

If you seek to be "good personality", you may think "Budo" or martial arts are violent and not necessary. or even harmful.
Here, I would like to explain why Bushiki-juku practices techniques to beat someone.
First, you can learn human body and improve your physical ability, by doing and taking techniques.
Recently, Ko-bujutsu (traditional martial arts) movements are booming and applied in various field, like nursing. Kuzushi(breaking one's balance) technique is applied. It is a good example to learn a technique to beat someone. You learn yourself, others and human body.
This is one purpose of learning "techniques to beat someone".

Responsibility and determination

There is a word in Karate, Ichigeki hissatsu(one shot one kill). If someone is able to do it, her/his life will be over when she/he hits someone else.
A punch of amateur normally causes just minor injury.
But it will be totally different for her/him. She/he hits someone else for a reason, and killed the other. She/he could perform it too well, so she/he is a murder. So she/he need to understand how dangerous she/he is.
Learning techniques can be opportunities to learn responsibility and to review one's actions, and it leads to be better yourself. I sometimes feel mordern people need more determination of doing by oneself what one can do, before asking a help.
In Bushiki-juku, we practice to prepare for a dangerous situation. And this is to practice to mind the determination. "Determination" means to prepare for dangerous situations and practice for them.
Various difficulties come to us in modern life. To be "good person", we need capacity and mental strength to take those, and the determination is needed. I believe practice of budo is one way of learning the determination.
