There have been many discussions about whether Budo is considered to be a sport or not. Ancient Budo was a part of traditional Japanese culture, but it has developed into a competitive sport. Budo has made contributions to many aspects of our society: for example, to the arts, to the education, and so on.The Satsuma feudal clan's emphasis on education promoted it to build the first Budo gymnasium, including the Inuomono stadium and the Zoshi gym, despite of the clan's great debt.The courses of the sword was most emphasized; horseriding and archery were taught every day and the handle of a long sword and a spear were done every other day.The Satsuma teachers of Budo were the first persons who with feudal masters went to Edo to study Budo. Other feudal clans came to Satsuma to teach errantry of knights.The Budo school had its foundations before the modern times and since then, it has spread throughout Japan.
