The World Budo Development Society has
been created to bring together like-minded martial artists from around
the world to co-operate regardless of style or affiliation. The concept
came about having listened to many martial artists and noting their
requirements and for their students. Research conducted in strictest
confidence.
The World Budo Development Society was
conceived when several masters formulated an agenda for all members to
aspire to and to work in unison for the positive promotion of the
martial arts. With this in mind, the secretary of the Martial Arts
Brotherhood and founder of the Masters Council, Mr Neil Horton,
discussed ways forward that would benefit members and students alike,
whilst putting the positive ideals of the martial arts to the fore. The
research and conversations seemed to point to specific areas of
dissatisfaction amongst the martial arts community and found that this
was prevalent worldwide. Not just around the UK, across the globe and
reached all continents.
