This book will examine several martial arts disciplines, and find within them the Bushido codes and conduct that have survived the passage of time and continue to flourish within their modern day settings. One particular samurai family will be studied, as it is from their origins that my current martial arts discipline is derived. However, it will also be shown that the concepts of Bushido made their way into the Okinawan art of karate, as well as the Korean art of Hapkido. Bushido, the Way of the Warrior, originated in the 7th century AD in Japan, and carries on to modern times through the practice of martial arts around the world. We see the universality of Bushido by its adaptation in every continent and in hundreds of cultures throughout the world, by the spread of martial arts.
