Budokon

[edit]

Budokon in Japanese translates to Bu(Warrior) Do (Way) Kon (Spirit). Budokon is recognized as both a yoga style and a martial arts system. It is a holistic and integral approach of a six pillar system which includes hatha yoga, martial arts, nutrition, psychology, and environmentalism. Budokon was created by Kancho Cameron Shayne in 2000[1] [2] Budokon is an art form inspired by the centuries-old training systems of Yoga, Karate, Taekwondo, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu,[3] and Zen Meditation that offers an emotional, physical, and spiritual workout. [4] Budokon uses yoga to develop power through stillness and mindfulness, martial arts to develop power through explosive movement and meditation to develop power through concentration. [5] The art form has become more popular as a fitness trend while also incorporating the integrity and authenticity of traditional yoga and martial arts. [6]

Naming

[edit]

The name Budokon comes from the founder, Kancho Cameron Shayne. It was taken from the Japanese language; Bu (meaning warrior), Do (meaning the way), Kon (meaning the spirit or soul). This translates as “way of the spiritual warrior”. This name was chosen to represent a person living with the WARRIORʼS ability and courage to serve and protect, while living the WAY of a SPIRITUAL person with strong ethics and values that contribute to the betterment of all of humanity.[1]

Locations

[edit]

Budokon Classes are taught by certified Budokon senseis throughout the world in the following countries: United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Argentina, United Kingdom, Norway, Germany, Spain, and Japan. [7]

Motto

[edit]

“The way we do anything, is the way we do everything.” - Kancho Cameron Shayne [1]

Philosophy

[edit]

Similar to the 8 limbs of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga or Kung Fu, Budokon has its own six pillar system which makes a body of science and philosophy used as a moral code to provide a practical means of realizing the highest ideals in daily living. Rather than separating different areas of human knowledge Budokon integrates them together. [1] Budokon focuses on first organizing the way a person moves to help organize the way a person thinks and lives. [8] Budokon studies the tree of life as a whole rather than limiting itself to one branch. This tree is a great organization of diverse elements yoked together by the unifying natural law. Budokon seeks to understand this law and teach its principles. The aim of Budokon is to expand the awareness of individual consciousness and thereby expand the awareness of the collective consciousness. The Philosophy of Budokon is highly influenced by the Japanese-Samurai culture which enforces a code of ethics and honor. [9] [1]
