Kyushindo is a philosophy developed by budō master Kenshiro Abbe in the mid-20th century and which became his central statement for his personal approach to Judo. ==Meaning== Several interpretations of the Japanese term ''kyu shin do'' have been proposed. Tomio Otani, a long-term student of Abbe, translated it thus: * ''Kyu'': Sphere or Circle * ''Shin'': Heart or Nexus point * ''Do'': Way〔 At its most basic level, ''kyushindo'' can be equated with centripetal force.〔 Tomio Otani defined it as "the accumulation of effort in a steady motion about the radius and centre of gravity".〔 Abbe had discovered the efficiency of using centripetal force to throw much larger opponents while a student at Dai Nippon Butoku Kai in the 1930s, and it is likely that this discovery led to his further development of ''kyushindo'' as a philosophy. As well as 'Sphere'/'Circle', ''Kyu'' can also mean 'Desire', 'Yearn', 'Search' or 'Study'. Likewise, ''Shin'' can also mean 'Spirit' or 'Truth'. This ambiguity allows ''kyushindo'' to be interpreted on a number of levels, and it can also have the meaning of ''The Seeker's Way to the Essence of Things, or the Truth''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kyushindo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
