About Budokon

[Guest guest]

Okay, I wrote asking when they would put out a sequel and requested something more advanced. From the website was a description of Budokon:

The literal translation from Japanese is "Way of the spiritual warrior".

Founded by martial arts master, yoga teacher and lifestyle coach Cameron Shayne in 2002, Budokon is a holistic training method that combines the classical martial arts, hatha yoga, meditation and optimal nutrition all designed to explore the maximum potential of the mind and body. By exploring the physical, emotional and spiritual body through movement, diet and meditation, the student works toward achieving true sustainable health, wellness and personal power.

Budokon is both a teaching method as well as a certified training system.

The method allows a person of any gender or level of physical health to explore the martial arts and yoga in a safe non-competitive environment. During a Budokon class the emphasis is placed soley upon body organization, alignment, technique, core development, and concentration.

The training system is designed to offer the opportunity of dual black belt and yoga teacher certifications from the ancient perspective of wisdom, clarity and self-mastery, as opposed to that of intellect, aggression and physical power. The Budokon philosophy is best expressed in the belief that one must develop power in stillness (yoga), power in movement (martial arts), and power in emptiness (meditation).

Both the Budokon method and training system reflects back uponthe ancient training systems of the Buddhist monks, where martial arts, yoga, holistic health and meditation were a natural part of daily life.
