"Jikishin Kore Dōjō Nari"

The Nippon Kobudō Jikishin-Kai took its name from an ancient Zen saying: "Jikishin kore dōjō nari," which translates as "a pure heart transforms into a dōjō." The The Jikishin-Kai International likewise adopted this precept and continued the tradition of instilling in all its members an on-going commitment to seek perfection of character and attainment of a pure heart, both in and out of the dōjō.
