Mission
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.
