Budo for Peace: changing the perception of Oyev (enemy) into the Ohev (beloved)





Budo for Peace (BFP) brings together young people from conflict areas in the Middle East to learn and practice traditional Japanese budo (martial arts) in order to learn its values and apply them toward breaking down fear and building trust between peoples. Through martial arts training and understanding of traditional Japanese budo values – including respect, harmony and self-control – the youth enrolled in our program are taught to convert both internal and external conflict into harmonious behavior.
