ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- What does "victory" truly mean in the martial arts?
In a new article published by the Shudokan Martial Arts Association (SMAA), readers are invited to look beyond trophies, titles, and competition results to explore a deeper understanding of victory rooted in traditional Japanese budo.
Drawing from Budo Mind and Body by Suino Sensei, the article explains that real victory is not found in defeating others, but in mastering oneself—physically, mentally, and ethically. While competition can build discipline and strength, long-term study of traditional martial arts emphasizes sustainability, self-awareness, and personal growth.
The article also highlights how budo training develops mental discipline, heightened perception, and emotional balance, qualities that benefit practitioners far beyond the dojo. Through history, tradition, and example, budo culture promotes values such as sincerity, courage, courtesy, honor, and responsibility.
