Kudo’s Contribution To The SDGs

The purpose of practicing Kudo is summarized in the following “Principle of Kudo.”
This was established in 1981, and since then, it has been chanted together when practicing Kudo.

Principle of Kudo
道場訓

Through the pursuit of Kudo,
我々は空道の修行を通じ、
We develop great physical and mental strength,
強固なる精神力と体力とを養い、
Educate ourselves and gain intelligence,
文に親しみ智力を練り、
And bond with people and enrich our emotions.
人と結びて有情を対し、
Therefore, we shall be able to cultivate our personalities,
もって人格の陶冶をなし、
And become positively contributing members of society.
社会に寄与貢献することを希うものなり。

We believe that this Principle can contribute to the next SDGs.
