This month I attended the annual International Budo Seminar, hosted by the Nippon Budokan. This year’s theme was ‘Budo Education’. One point that was highlighted was that budo allows people of all ages to continuously interact in the same dojo space, which I’ve personally always appreciated. This lack of a barrier between seniors and juniors is good for society as people support each other more.
ここで注目すべきは、武道を習うことにより、同じ道場で、様々な年齢の人々が互いに交流できるということです。これは個人的にも私が常に感じてきたよい点です。
人生の先輩と後輩のあいだの壁がなくなることは、お互いにもっと助け合う社会を作るのにも役立ちます。
