What is IBMA-Net?
Connecting People Through Budo
IBMA-Net (IBMA Network) is the international Budo education network promoted by the International Budo Human Development Association (IBMA).
Budo is more than the pursuit of technical skill or competitive success.
It is a lifelong path of personal development, mutual respect, cultural understanding, and contribution to society.
IBMA-Net brings together people and organizations that share these values and works to expand the educational and cultural potential of Budo throughout the world.
Our Philosophy
IBMA-Net promotes human development and international cooperation through Budo, regardless of style, nationality, or cultural background.
Each affiliated organization and dojo maintains its own traditions, identity, and independence.
Rather than governing its members, IBMA-Net serves as a cooperative network where people learn from one another while working toward shared goals.

- Promoting Budo education
- Advancing research in Budo education
