Gendai budō (Japanese: 現代武道; lit. 'modern budō'), or Shinbudō (新武道; new budō) are both terms referring to modern Japanese martial arts, which were established after the Meiji Restoration (1866–1869). Kobudō or koryū are the opposite of these terms referring to ancient martial arts established before the Meiji Restoration.
