Moreover, the Institute believes that all members of the Institute whether they be a student, teacher or affiliate of The Institute are to be regarded as equal to all others regardless of creed, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation or age. That is, The Institute will be open to all.

With this in mind, the Institute has adopted in specific Article 1 of the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

Article 1:

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

The Institute's primary belief is that education in the martial arts, as with all education, should be open and made available to everyone who has a true desire to advance their knowledge through hard work and  dedication. With an underlying respect for the rights of The Institute's members, true learning and dedication to teaching may develop in an atmosphere of sharing and personal growth. With this in mind, The Institute has adopted in specific Article 26 of the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

Article 26:

(1) Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.

With learning and personal growth comes tolerance. With increased tolerance of one another comes peace. It is hoped that through the study of Budo, and through membership in this Institute, the student may gain self-understanding by developing their character fully and through increased confidence and courage take part completely in society and their community.
