The International Budo Institute is an Open Learning Environment.
What this means is that all learning materials will be made available
to the general public free of charge. This
is in keeping with the underlying philosophy of The Institute as
expressed by the United Nations declaration contained within the
section on this site entitled The
Budo Institute >> Background >> Philosophy. 
The Institute is passionate about making materials widely available for
the many visitors of this site who may not have the means to purchase
martial arts materials or have the means to follow courses at a dojo or
outside school. Otherwise said, The Institute sees it as its primary
responsibility to support, encourage and develop persons that may be
less fortunate by providing a full curriculum of study. With the on-line photo and video materials available and constantly being updated on this site students and visitors are able to study the entire curriculum necessary to otherwise attain a black belt ranking. We encourage you to register on this site for free and join our community.
If you also share our passion about giving back to the community the lessons that martial arts can provide we invite you to make a donation, purchase a paid membership or purchase any of our training materials in our store. All monies received are re-applied to the Institute in developing new study materials for the benefit of the online students and visitors of this site.
The Institute and its Instructors all share a background based in the traditional lessons of Okinawan Budo which teach the obligation to pass on its values with a open and generous heart. You will not find flashy sales pitches on this site only real Okinawan Budo lessons passed on from us to you in a free and open learning environment. It is our pleasure to have you here.
