Welcome

Kenkyo-ha Budo Renmei was founded by:

Michael Cowie マイク・カウイ & Robert Dyson ロバート・ダイソン

We believe that the traditional martial arts values of humility, self-improvement and consideration for others have been undermined in the modern world by politics, selfishness and greed. Our intention in setting up Kenkyo-ha Budo Renmei is to create a community of like-minded people who want to practise the budo disciplines simply as ways of self-perfection. Our aspiration is that it will become a federation of associations dedicated to individual arts. Its founding association is the Kenkyo-ha Goju Karate Kempo Kai 謙虚派剛柔空手拳法会 .

We are not interested in, and we will not engage in, politics or competition; we will not seek money or self-advancement; nor will we try to impose a “syllabus” or an orthodoxy on anyone. We are not interested in creating a large and powerful organisation or in tournaments and displays, but in bringing together people who want to learn from each other and live according to the spirit of budo: a spirit of humility, sincerity and service. Our motto is a saying of Ueshiba Morihei Osensei: “True victory is victory over the self” 正勝吾勝.

We are currently in the process of developing a members only section to the website which will include a forum and resource area amongst other things. If you feel you relate to the above philosophies and would like to affiliate as a group or as an individual member of Kenkyo-ha Budo Renmei please get in touch with us on the below email address.
