The essence of the true martial way and military strategy is self protection and prevention of danger. This system was solely devised for overcoming conflict and if this concept is abandoned, the training itself would have no value. This does not mean that we are advocates of violence simply that we recommend that it is used for what it was intended, and that is the containment and suppression of violence. In a society such as ours the authorities can only be effective in providing a safe environment up to a certain degree, the criminals know this and count on it. Since criminal activity does sometimes include violence against fellow human beings. The skills of self defense through training in a viable self defense system offers an individual confidence and peace of mind in their lives. The Butokuden is dedicated to help those who feel responsible for their own safety by providing instruction in self defense through the martial way of Bu-Taijutsu.
