Its Budo not Budou :).
You can get one from your teacher. Don't even think about such stuff now. You need to start training and in 20 years maybe you will have one. :). BTW, I don't have one yet...
What in the heck is a Budo warrior name?

It's in the first post.
Budo Name or
Warrior Name...
I've heard some Bjk, Gbk, teachers give thier students a name.
What is the purpose of this name?

In some koryu, it is a tradition for the teacher to give his student a martial name, often around the time he received menkyo kaiden. Often, the name might contain the kanji for dragon, at least in the Takamastu-den arts. SKH's name is kinryu I think, which means golden dragon.
Giving yourself one is not a good idea. My advice is to forget about this and get some training.

Not afraid of nobody really.

Should I change my name? Am I UNCOOL?

Well, I guess you won't be posting here anymore then, since you have to use your real name.

Rob,
Don't listen to David - he's a stickler for the rules :D
Look at one of your previous posts. Stick to that format (inc. name in the signature) and people will take you serious. Rename yourself to something such as 'Musashi' and people will think you're a twat.
Now, go and ask Soulend a serious question using your real name and see the reaction - he's very knowledgable and pleasant, despite being a bootneck :D
Best wishes,
Scott

I thought I was in trouble there, for a moment or two :D
1) Do they call you guys bootnecks as well?
2) What the barking hell is a Kubler Elf?

Re: Bootnecks:
Not for a long, long, time. Used to though, which is the reason why recruit training is referred to as 'boot camp'. 'Leathernecks' is still used, in addition to some more unsavory monikers. Do the British Royal Marines still use 'bootneck'? Bless 'em.
Re: Kubler Elf:
Well, this stems from the Hikuta folk. They claim that the five 'stages of dying' are known in ancient Egyptian as 'Kubler-Ross' (ironically, this is also the surname of an author who wrote a book on dying....spooky eh?). Here in the States we have a large bakery company known as Keebler, whose mascots are these adorable frumpy little elves who live in a tree and bake cookies(biscuits). So, I kind of put the two things together.
A large thread about Hikuta:

Hey Scott,
I don't think you can say twat on the net. At least not to young 16 year olds.
RobNYC, do yourself a favor and don't pick a stupid name of your own, like "Shingen", as John mentioned. Just worry about training and learning and all the rest will come together in time.
You do need to use your full real name here too.
Regards,
ScottUK

All you need is the personal knowledge that you train to the best of your ability, a name is nothing without the knowledge to back it up. When you are ready you will get one... even if it's only a knickname from you your fellow practitioners... just keep up the training and in time you will get everything you want ;)

Consider being the type of warrior as defined by Hamada Teshin Hiroyuki, an individual whose ancestors were Samurai:
“The one who dedicates his entire life to a single [noble] cause without expecting rewards for his dedication - without seeking fame nor glory - constantly pouring his energy to the good of the community. In their heart - I would say - that every one of those people who think above and beyond their [own] lives - they are already Samurai!”
As for a warrior name, pick up a copy of "Your Name in Kanji" [not sure if its the correct title - but it is published by Charles Tuttle] and use the Japanese equivalent of your given name. For example mine first and middle names are: "Daijogen Yushokan", and that works well with someone who is Japanese since both translate well, with dignity and most importantly are devoid of silly gaijin connotations of being a Nihon wannabee.

If you read my previous post i'm sure it will make sense. I am a bit cheeky, anything I say should really be taken with a pinch of salt.
Unless it's obvious i'm being serious!!!!!

Where are you in relation to Plaistow, [London East End]? Maternal grand-father was born there in 1874! But, things have changed on both sides the pond since then. Family has since scattered to the 4 ends of the earth, including SA, Japan, and 4 other continents.
