Whats the difference between BUDO and BUJUTSU?
Not much, really. Budo means martial Way, and carries implications of spiritual development. Bujutsu means martial arts and is usually associated with battlefield-tested, combat-ready systems. Bugei is also martial art, and is a label applied to the battlefield arts of the Japanese warrior class. Budo and bujutsu are two faces of the same coin. If you study a combat art for years, and delve into the art beyond a simple physical level, you will have done budo. If you train in a modern system emphasizing personal development, but gain skill at self defense, you will have learned bujutsu.
