Shihan Jeffrey Henderson is the founder and Chief Technical Director of the International Budo Institute, as well as being head of his own school, Bubishido. Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Shihan Henderson now makes his home in Vancouver. Shihan Henderson holds a 6th Dan in Bubishido, and is a member of the International Shorinjiryu Shinzen Kyokai.
Having studied Shorinjiryu Karate since 1982, Shihan Henderson is passionate about gaining a balance of the technical understanding, academic learning and spiritual development that is the hallmark of a budoka.
Listen in as we discuss
- Shihan Henderson’s beginnings in budo
- Early experiences with his teacher, Shihan Wayne Donivan of the Shorinjiryu Kentokukan school
- The role of the student
- The role of the teacher - recognising that everyone is an individual, and that individuals are different.
- The role of spirituality in karate
- The challenge of making a pilgrimage - Shihan Henderson participated in the Camino de Santiago carrying a bo.
- Motivations for training - doing it to please your Sensei, parents or peers is generally the wrong reason. You should train for yourself.

Great podcasts! I really enjoy the content and the goal of the site. It’s definitely nice to hear how other teachers came to the art.
BTW, if you’re using skype for the interviews, you can improve the quality by having skype use a dedicated port. Doing a search for “skype quality port” will yield instructions.
Looking forward to more!
