This study has two aims. One is to clarify the process by which Japanese colleges have established departments of Budo; in the other words, how Budo Science came into existence. In particular, I studied two preeminent schools, the Nippon College of Physical Education and the Tokyo University of Education. The second aim is to clarify questions about Budo Theory, which is the foundation of Budo Science. Budo Science is an Interdisciplinary Study. There is some discussion in the Interdisciplinary Sciences about how subdisciplines should be integrated, and about the question of what the foundation of an Interdisciplinary Science is. Budo Theory has a natural role as the foundation of an Interdisciplinary Science, but this is not yet recognized because there has not been enough research in the area of Budo Science. So we can not yet say that it is truly an Interdisciplinary Science. For the present we must work to establish the foundation of Budo Science. That task will be accomplished by the History of Science and Philosophy, which are both main elements of Budo Science. Budo Theory as such a science must study the following questions: I. The scope of Budo Theory A. Before Meiji Era 1. History and philosophy of martial arts techniques 2. History of Budo weapons and armor 3. History of the Budo mind B. After Meiji Era 1. History of Budo in the educational system and the police force 2. History of Budo organizations II. Philosophical viewpoints A. Culture B. Human-movement C. Education D. Relationship between traditional and modern values Concerning A, B and C, comparative research between Japanese Budo and foreign martial arts and among individual Budos will be important as a methodology after we have sufficiently studied Budo itself. We must examine the relationship between traditional and modern values in the context of Budo.
