The word “Bubishi” means the following:
  1. Bu  means warrior

  2. Bi means wisdom

  3. Shi means spirit.

The word “Do” signifies a philosophical way with which to realize oneself or one’s potential.

Thus, the name “Bubishido” literally means the way in which one may realize one’s potential by following the lessons of the Bubishi, while “Bubishi” means the spirit and wisdom of the warrior. Or, the way to realize one's potential by following the spirit and wisdom of the warrior.

Since the text known as the “Bubishi” was used by many of the ancient and early martial art / Budo masters, the name “Bubishido” is all inclusive.
