In 1895, an organisation for the unification of martial arts named the Dai-Nippon Butokukai was established. The initial objective of the Dai-Nippon Butokukai was to assume leadership over bud\u014d<\/em> in general, to promote and spread it, to hold tournaments, and to acknowledge martial artists who made notable contributions. In 1899, the Butokuden (“Hall of Martial Virtue”) was completed in the precinct of the Heian Shrine in Kyoto. 1902 saw the creation of a life pension for masters awarded with the honorary titles of Hanshi or Ky\u014dshi. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Among the achievements of the Dai-Nippon Butokukai the creation of unified sets of kata<\/em> is particularly important. In 1906, Kan\u014d Jig\u014dr\u014d led the creation of the “Butokukai J\u016bjutsu Kata”, but took account of other ry\u016bha<\/em>’s opinions. The same year, three kata<\/em> were created for kenjutsu<\/em>. However there was considerable dissatisfaction among many kenjutsu<\/em> experts, and in 1912, the “Dai-Nippon Teikoku Kend\u014d Kata” was created instead by Takano Sasabur\u014d and Nait\u014d Takaharu and others. It is still practised now as the “Nippon Kend\u014d Kata”. The important thing here is that through the Butokukai’s unified kata<\/em>, kenjutsu<\/em> finally saw the successful synthesis of techniques from different ry\u016bha<\/em> into one unified form. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Concerning the Dai-Nippon Butokukai, another important contribution was the integration of bud\u014d<\/em> into the school curriculum as a required subject. In order to achieve this objective, first it was necessary to create an institution to train bujutsu<\/em> instructors, and in 1912 the Bujutsu Senmon Gakk\u014d (Martial Arts Vocational School) was inaugurated. In 1919, Nishikubo Hiromichi became the vice-president of the Butokukai and the principal of the Bujutsu Senmon Gakk\u014d. Nishikubo advocated using the word “bud\u014d<\/em>” instead of “bujutsu<\/em>” because of the more profound spiritual connotation, and thus he changed the name of the school to Bud\u014d Senmon Gakk\u014d. At the same time, j\u016bjutsu<\/em>, kenjutsu<\/em> and ky\u016bjutsu<\/em> became j\u016bd\u014d<\/em>, kend\u014d<\/em> and ky\u016bd\u014d<\/em> respectively, and bud\u014d<\/em> was used as the appellation that encompassed all disciplines. The trend of using the word bud\u014d<\/em> in order to refer to martial arts started at that period.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In 1895, an organisation for the unification of martial arts named the Dai-Nippon Butokukai was established.
