Budokon

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] Yoga develops power through stillness and mindfulness, martial arts develops power through explosive movement and meditation develops power through concentration. [5] The art form has become popular as a fitness trend while still maintaining the integrity and authenticity of yoga and martial arts. [6]

Naming

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

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

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

Philosophy

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]</ref> Organizing the way a person moves helps 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]

Founding Budokon Philosophy

  • Attachment is the root of suffering.
  • Always honor your Self, Teachers, Parents and the Way.
  • Practice non-attachment, simplicity, patience and compassion.
  • Embrace death as you embrace life.
  • Never lie, deceive or be partial because of race, religion, creed, or social standing. Always be true.
  • Never make decisions from fear.
  • Resolve situations with decisiveness; resolve problems before they arise; know when to stop.
  • Defeat your enemy by harmonizing with him. Reveal to him his folly before his advance.
  • Learn not to overdo. Overdoing creates decay.
  • Do not be attached to possessions or people.
  • Always be kind with your thoughts, words and deeds.
  • Be genuine with your praise; be generous with your love, food and wealth;
  • Treat everyone as an honored guest
  • Accomplish one task at a time. Take as much care at the end as you do at the beginning. Leave no task unfinished, no matter how unimportant it seems. Master the fundamentals of things; all else is built upon them.
  • Servitude before mastery.
  • Know the self and you know the eternal.
  • Those who talk don't know. Those who know don't talk. Accept that you know nothing.
  • Be resolute but don't boast. Succeed but don't brag.
  • Let your yes be your yes, and your no be your no. Never swear by anything.
  • Treat others as you would like to be treated. Give to others, as you would like to be given to.
  • Conquer your cravings.
  • Recognize the universe as your self and you can be happy anywhere.
  • Love the world as your self and you can care for it properly.
  • Remove obstacles from your own path before trying to remove them from another's.
  • The Way is the natural order of all things. All answers lie in the Way. All of life is an aspect of the Way.
  • Nothing is good or evil.
  • All things come from and return to Source.
  • An open mind is an open heart.
  • Nature is our greatest teacher.
  • Hate, anger and rage are the masks of fear.

The Six Pillars of Budokon

1. Thoughts

The thoughts pillar in Budokon focuses on identifying and analyzing thoughts and fears through cognitive therapy, brain development, perception, critical thinking and the ego. [10][11]

2. Emotions

Emotions as the second pillar are studied in terms of the scientific relationship between thoughts and the physical body. This pillar studies how to control emotions by shifting language, beliefs, and personal perceptions.[11]

3. Relationships

Relationships are affected by a person's patterns due to predetermined biological response mechanisms such as fight or flight response and temperament. In this pillar, analyzing the cause and effect relationship of patterned behavior allows a person to develop better communication skills.[11]

4. Environment

Environmentalism is studied in this pillar in order to make practical daily shifts towards maintaining a sustainable future- learning ways to reduce waste and consumer driven habits.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Martial Arts System

There are six belts in the Budokon system. In order to achieve each belt rank, the sensei must demonstrate proficiency of the curriculum from each pillar. Physical testing requires performance of the belt-specific kata, board breaking, and sparring. Also, the student is held accountable for a written exam, written essays, and a life-coaching evaluation. [16] Martial Artists learn specific techniques in Karate, Taekwondo, and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). Cameron moved to Los Angeles at the age of 25 to continue teaching and training in martial arts. During this time he was a personal trainer to many celebrities and was also the fight scene choreographer for movies Rush Hour 1 & 2.[17] During his time in LA he was introduced to Hatha Yoga which became a tremendous influence in the areas of meditation, nutrition and injury rehabilitation. At the age of 28 he began to train in Japanese Yoshukai Karate. He practiced and taught karate for several years until he was introduced to Brazilian Ju-Jitsu through Ju-Jitsu legend Rickson Gracie. After gaining his black belts in Taekwando, Karate, and his brown belt in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, he combined specific elements of each in order to create the Budokon yogic, martial, and living arts system.
