A few years after The Dragons Den Dojo had been running as a licensed Dojo, the first in Malta to be a privately owned building with all the local permits to operate specifically as a Martial Arts School, Christian and Roderick Brothers Bajada, Renshi were determined to go further and form a Budo Association to bring Martial Arts in Malta in line with the true meaning of Budo. This came along with the experience that the brothers where gaining during invitations to attend international Budo seminars with world known high Budo ranking practitioners. At this stage Budo was far from understood on the Island.

Several discussions with other established educational institutions as well as the consultation of educational systems were essential to the main structure of this new association. Special Manuals with syllabus and other valuable information were designed for the association. The association also includes a private book library with a good collection of Budo related books that are recommended to be read by the higher grade students. The association opened its doors as a Classical Japanese Martial Arts Institute, taking Martial Arts in Malta to the next level, the deep study of Budo.

After the student members of the association attain the desired technical level, they are called upon to take a mat examination and are afterwards graded and certified by the Renshi Brothers. They are also observed and evaluated by our Dojo patron Hanshi Allan Tatersall Soke Myo Shin Ryu during his visits in Malta. Gradings are based on the students' characters, their technical skills and theoretical set standards. Upon reaching the desired standards, the students will also be recommended as eligible members within the Prestigious and Elite Japanese Budo Society the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai of Kyoto, Japan.

The Classical Budo Association Malta has as its Honbu (Headquarters) the Dragon's Den Dojo and is rapidly growing in strength whilst serving its founding purpose as a Budo Institute, striving for the development of higher technical skills and education within the true meaning of  the Japanese Martial Arts Way, and with greater commitments for excellence whilst preserving the Classical Martial Virtues.
