What is the difference between a dojo and a dōjō?


Asked by Elora Noble on Dec 02, 2021 FAQ



A dōjō ( 道場, Japanese pronunciation: [doꜜː (d)ʑoː]) is a hall or space for immersive learning or meditation. This is traditionally in the field of martial arts, but has been seen increasingly in other fields, such as meditation and software development. The term literally means "place of the Way " in Japanese.
Subsequently,
‘Dojo’ is a Japanese word that’s used in Karate and other Japanese martial arts to refer to a training hall. ‘Dojang’ is a Korean word that’s used in Taekwondo and other Korean martial arts to refer to a training hall. They mean the same thing – it’s just that ‘dojo’ is Japanese whereas ‘dojang’ is Korean. The two words are actually cognates.
Next, Initially, dōjō were adjunct to temples and were formal training places for any of the Japanese arts ending in " -dō ", from the Chinese Tao (or Dao ), meaning "way" or "path". Sometimes meditation halls where Zen Buddhists practice zazen meditation were called dōjō.
Keeping this in consideration,
Dojo-kun is a Japanese martial arts term literally meaning (training hall) rules. They are generally posted at the entrance to a dōjō or at the "front" of the dojo (shomen) and outline behaviour expected and disallowed. In some styles of martial arts they are recited at the end of a class.
Thereof,
Some well-known dōjō located in Japan are: 1 Kodokan Judo Institute ( Judo) 2 Aikikai Hombu Dōjō ( Aikido) 3 Noma Dōjō ( Kendo) 4 Nakazato Karate Weapons Gym ( Shōrin-ryū Shōrinkan)
