Seibukan Budo, school of traditional Japanese martial arts, was established in 1987. Presently, it operates as the International Seibukan Budo Federation [SBIF], serving as a global organization devoted to the training, instruction, and certification of martial arts, with a primary focus on promoting and preserving Budo and Bujutsu traditions from Japan.

Based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, SBIF has extended its reach to 10 countries, attracting students from 25 nations to partake in our courses. The traditional martial arts endorsed by SBIF hold recognition in various organizations within each country, including some esteemed martial arts schools in the Kumamoto region, Japan. Each of these schools maintains its unique teaching regulations, approval protocols, and testing procedures.

SBIF encompasses several international martial arts sections, including Aikido, Aikijujutsu, Karatedo (Karatejutsu, Kempojutsu), Goshinjutsu, Iaido, Nihon Jujutsu, Nihon Taijutsu, and Nihon Kobudo (Kenjutsu, Iaijutsu, Jojutsu, and Tanbojutsu). Enthusiasts who align with the objectives of the Traditional Martial Arts International Federation [SBIF] are encouraged to seek membership through the Representative/Branch in their respective countries.
