Re: Practice without tradition
Why do you have to mouth Japanese words and use Japanese etiquette for it to be budo?
Surely budo is in your heart and mind and spirit, not the words you say or the gestures you make?
Not that I'm advocating it. I'm used to the Japanese mouthings and geatures.
But if that's all that makes it budo, then could tae-bo with a bow-in ceremony and "ich-no-san-shi and tsuki!" be called budo?
