Abstract: Martial arts, or budo in Japanese, are practiced recreationally on a global scale. Is there a relation between the regular practice/training of various fighting arts and the attitude of these people towards the natural world? Does budo educate in this direction? Representatives of various fighting arts ( n = 145) were examined using a diagnostic survey. It was found that the attitude of the respondents to nature and ecology was positive for the majority of the respondents (almost 74%). This applied to both men and women and was not determined by the level of education. The type of martial art or combat sport practiced did not differentiate this attitude.
