The Concept of Soudo
The concept of soudo is to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the yari (spear).
The Purpose of Practicing Soudo
The purpose of practicing soudo is:
To mold the mind and body,
To cultivate a vigorous spirit,
And through correct and rigid training,
To strive for improvement in the art of soudo,
To hold in esteem human courtesy and honour,
To associate with others with sincerity,
And to forever pursue the cultivation of oneself.
This will make one be able:
To love his/her country and society,
To contribute to the development of culture,
And to promote peace and prosperity among all peoples.

The Mindset of Soudo Instruction and its Explanation
The Significance of the Mokuyari
For the correct transmission and development of soudo, efforts should be made to teach the correct way of handling the mokuyari in accordance with the principles of the spear.
Soudo is a way where the individual cultivates one’s mind (the self) by aiming for shin-ki-tai-itchi (unification of mind, spirit and technique) utilizing the mokuyari. The “mokuyari-spear” should be not only directed at one’s opponent but also at the self. Thus, the primary aim of instruction is to encourage the unification of mind, body and mokuyari through training in this discipline.
Reiho – Etiquette
When instructing, emphasis should be placed on etiquette to encourage respect for partners, and nurture people with a dignified and humane character.
Even in competitive matches, importance is placed on upholding etiquette in soudo. The primary emphasis should thus be placed on instruction in the spirit and forms of reiho (etiquette) so that the practitioner can develop a modest attitude to life, and realize the ideal of kosou-chiai (the desire to achieve mutual understanding and betterment of humanity through soudo).
Lifelong Soudo
While providing instruction, students should be encouraged to apply the full measure of care to issues of safety and health, and to devote themselves to the development of their character throughout their lives.
Soudo is a “way of life” that successive generations can learn together. The prime objective of instructing soudo is to encourage the practitioner to discover and define their way in life through training in the techniques of soudo. Thus, the practitioner will be able to develop a rich outlook on life and be able to put the culture of soudo into use, thereby benefitting from its value in their daily lives through increased social vigour.
