Hi Brad. Welcome to MAP


From what I can find I'd agree with Bu den. But there are more experienced members who would have a better idea, I'm sure they'll be along soon :D

martial = bu as in martial arts (budo)
traditional = dento-teki (na)

so bu den is probably right.

That's what I came up with. Though I wouldn't know if dento teki is the right context.

Is it possible it could be something completely different to what you get when looking at the words separate?

Well, not sure what km/h are in miles but it was tested at the Nardo test track at 365.7 km/h last year. I think thats about 225 mph. And the version on my sig is a police decorated car shown at the car show in Essen last year.

you could go for the long way round and say either bujutsu/budou no dentou or bujutsu/budou no shuukan/kanshuu (customs, practices).

that'd probably sound more natural in speech and be more easily understood by a native speaker.

Buden is the kind of kanji compound you'd write and people would see and immediately comprehend but using unfamiliar or articficially cosntructed words in speech tends to cause confusion I find.
