Budokai-do is a martial art born in Nepal, founded by Maha Guru Sagar Shrestha.

Budokai-do is an allround fighting style that is practical and immediately can be used in a real situation.

Budokai-do has very realistic techniques because it was developed in the street, through use in real life and experience what really works. All techniques are allowed as in streetfight where there are no rules, therefor the trainingmethod has an efficient and realistic approach.

 

In the beginning Budokai-do was very hard to teach because of strict government regulations against Martial Arts, so Budokai-do was taught underground. There was no official training place (Abhyasgarne thau) until in the 90's.

 

Budokai-do is simply the easiest and the most evolutionary form of fighting art and is one of the fundamental path of the Lord Buddha. It has five movements according to the five elements as you can see on the license. So it is associated to all human kind.

 

The name Budokai-do comes from the Lord Buddha and was originally called Buddhako as Maha Guru used to have his practise lessons at the Swayambu shrine. The name later changed into Budokai-do meaning "Buddha gave up his body" thus reaching enlightement.

 

 

The "sanskrit" translation for Budokai-do is "Mahaan sangharshha pod" meaning "The way of the great warrior".

 

Maahan = great

Sangharshha = warrior

Pod (Panthaah) = the way, path
