    • 2023 May 31, Styliani Skopelitou, “History of traditional martial arts”, in Via Budo: Using the Warrior’s Mind against Crime‎[1], Malmö: Malmö University, →OCLC, Introduction, page 4:
      While studying the skills, practitioners of Budō, or budōka as they are traditionally called, strive for certain goals: unification of mind, body and technique, development of character, enhancement of senses and morality, and of course, the cultivation of a respectful and courteous demeanour. If practised repeatedly, these traits are to become part of the budōka’s character, because Budō arts are used as a path to self-actualisation, which ultimately serves as the means to elevate the human spirit for the sake of world harmony and prosperity.
