PURPOSE FOR THE AJWBA MEMBERSHIP

TO FORGE A NEW WORLD MOVEMENT OF EVOLUTIONARY AWARENESS AND EXISTENTIAL EXPERIENCE IN ALL ARTS, NAMELY THE MARTIAL ARTS, WHILE PROTECTING THE HONOR, MASTERY, TRADITION, LEGACY, AND DILIGENT WORK OF MASTERS AROUND THE WORLD.  THERE IS NO CHARGE for 5dan and up; Any 4th dan or lower must make a a very small donation to help cover parer work expenses.

We hold to a firm belief that the martial arts deal with the individual beyond techniques; it is a complete learning experience for the heart, mind, and body.  Without correct spirit (essence), techniques, no matter how elegant or pure they appear, are simply that.  This is what sets us apart from any other organized group.  We hold that the posture of the spirit is the highest of all forms.

With this in mind, the purpose of this organization is three dimensional:

1) To facilitate the unification of martial artists of all different traditions and to foster the conditions for sharing.

2) To ensure a transparent and non-political safe haven for both physical growths as well as emotional and spiritual development.

3) To safeguard the ethics and moral content within all martial art traditions.

The AJWBA offers the opportunity to develop these martial arts further and actively propitiate the true spirit of Budo by nurturing future instructors; thus enabling instructors to pass on their teachings to future generations.

The AJWBA is a safe-haven to educate and care for its partners, not just by teaching techniques, but also by fostering intellectual and spiritual growth; and furthermore, by expanding the broad spectrum of their expertise so as to ensure that their teachings will be positive and proactive.

If needed, the AJWBA further offers an organized curriculum, teaching methodology, and ranking system to those martial artists interested in expanding their skills or looking for a new way to promote their academic growth.

 The Alliance offers to preserve the martial spirits of humanity, virtuosity, combativeness, and warriorship; thus leading us all to a state of being upon which respect character, sincerity, perseverance, accountability, and consistency, are key.

The AJWBA is dedicated to providing support to its members and a high-level martial arts education.  The education provided is curriculum-based, new business psychology; as well as the implementation of innovative teaching methodologies. Most importantly, members will experience the spiritual benefits, when impelled to moral action.
