The Techniques of the Way of Peace change constantly; every encounter is unique, and the appropriate response should emerge naturally. Today's techniques will be different tomorrow. Do not get caught up with the form and appearance of a challenge. The Art of Peace has no form -- it is the study of the spirit.

The International Budo Institute is happy to announce new features to this site. As of today registered members can upload a personal photo and expand their personal information to share with other registered members.

Also, registered members can create a "buddy list" and exchange messages through email. Also, each registered member is able to create their very own blog which all their buddies can view and keep up to date. Perfect for letting everyone know what you are doing or for sharing your opinions on the martial arts and life. When you register and log on you will see a new user menu as shown above which you can navigate and learn the new functionality.

As our mission statement said we wish that The International Budo Institute becomes a community of sharing. It is hoped that these applets help to make that more of a reality. Of course you must register in order to view other members. Registration is free and only takes a moment.

The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your inner enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.
