Building Better People Through the Study of Budo

The International Budo Human Development Association (IBMA) is an international organization dedicated to the research, education, and promotion of Budo as a lifelong path of human development.

IBMA believes that Budo is far more than a system of physical techniques or competition. It is a practical discipline that cultivates character, wisdom, respect, courage, self-control, and the ability to contribute positively to society.

Our mission is to explore the universal principles of Budo and apply them to education, leadership, health, and everyday life while preserving the traditions and spirit of martial arts.
