Budoka - Bulgaria

Budoka is a sports club in Bulgaria that offers training in traditional Japanese martial arts styles. These include Jiu-Jitsu, known as 'the art of softness' or 'the way of pliability,' which encompasses various techniques with and without weapons. It originated among the samurai in feudal Japan as a method to defeat armed opponents without using weapons. Karate is another primary focus, emphasizing striking techniques using fists, knees, elbows, kicks, and open-hand techniques. The dojo emphasizes the character of individuals, likening it to a river that cannot flow backward against itself. The journey of each practitioner is unique, shaped by their choices and character.
