Budo is a spiritual path, an energetic path, a physical path. It is a natural path, absorbing and merging with nature. It is a healing path, a yogic path, a mysterious path. Formal initiation is not a requirement, but one won't stick it out if he/she isn't called from a deeper source. It is a personal path, and it's no path at all. It's a choice.
