Do you want to make a positive impact with your career?

We focus on how you can choose your career to have the *greatest* impact whether by focusing on alleviating global poverty, trying to prevent future pandemics, trying to prevent nuclear war, and lots more.

Every semester we run a seminar that outlines all of the areas in which you can have the most impact with your career. The seminar is a bit of a time commitment, taking 3-4 hours per week for eight weeks. There will be weekly meetings and reading assignments. Food will be provided at no cost to you. We have both a general seminar on the aforementioned topic, as well as cause-specific seminars (AI safety, particularly).

Our group also runs weekly dinners and various different socials.

We are part of a global movement with groups at many top university. We frequently collaborate with Stanford, MIT, and Cambridge. We welcome both undergrads and graduate students.

A large aspect of clinics also targets long-term health problems by hosting educational talks about dietary health and water sanitation. Educational talks about dental hygiene are also held with the children that visit the clinic. The other half of our brigade consists of public health related projects that include educational presentations and infrastructural projects like laying concrete floors and building sanitation stations. Global Brigades also offers Telebrigades, where we meet with local health care workers to learn about the country's healthcare system and gain virtual shadowing experience. We also believe that leaving an impact in our local community should be just as much part of our mission as our global community. Therefore we will be taking further steps to increase our impact in our local community.

Budō, the martial arts of Japan, are recognized as jūdō, kendō, kyūdō, sumō, karatedō, aikidō, shōrinji kempō, naginata and jūkendō. The Budō arts serve as a path to self-perfection. This elevation of the human spirit will contribute to social prosperity and harmony, and ultimately, benefit the people of the world.

However, in the United States martial arts have evolved towards the infatuation with just the technical ability compounded by an excessive focus on winning or causing physical harm for commercial gain have become a severe threat to the essence of budō. To prevent any possible misrepresentation, practitioners of budō must continually engage in self-examination and endeavor to perfect and preserve this traditional culture.

It is with this hope that the not for profit Mumon Inc. was established in order to offer the principles of budō in the United States. Our mission is to provide access to credible Budō instruction, curriculum, and content through which the student learns the practice of budō, and embraces the correct manners, refines his or her technical skills, and develops the mind and body to become a virtuous human being.
