MBDY Movement Arts Academy

The Budokon physical practice is a set series of movements with 6 levels combining yoga postures and martial arts techniques and animal locomotion therapy. Like Ashtanga yoga has a primary series and karate has katas Budokon has its own series. Our academy trainings and workshop weekends are focused on teaching this set series. THE BUDOKON PHILOSOPHY Budokon is an integral approach to the study of the universe and our relationship within it through the study of the yogic, martial and living arts. Just like the 8 limbs of Ashtanga yoga or Kung Fu, Budokon has itʼs own 6 pillar system which makes a body of science and phi- losophy 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 then together. 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 a unifying law (dharma). Budokon seeks to understand this law and teach itʼs principles. The Aim of Budokon is to expand the awareness of individual consciousness and thereby ex- pand the awareness of the collective consciousness. To accomplish this task we need to audit our minds seeking out limiting beliefs that cause us to suffer in every area of our lives. But in order to do this we must have a methodology. Budokon provides this method by teach- ing us to identify the fears of survival residing in our animal natures and transcend those fears towards our evolved self using our specific life coaching methods. Obstacles such as ignorance, intolerance, attachment and selfishness are overcome by means of the Budokon practices and peace, harmony and order are cultivated. Budokon thus cultivates an ongoing zen state or single mindedness, centeredness that helps us to free the mind from limitations. The universe is a product of apposing forces: The static principle (yin, rest, Shiva, yogic as- ana) and the dynamic principle (yang, movement, Shakti, Martial technique). The external part of all energetic beings is the dynamic and the inside is the static. Energy undergoes many changes, gets distorted and then reorganizes itself during the period of rest. Thus a process of creation, preservation and deconstruction, reorganization and re-creation goes on forever. Budokon believes that this universal truth exist in the physical world and applies to all energetic beings. Budokon recognizes that desire is the motivating force behind this phenomena. Many other spiritual sciences teach the renunciation of desire. They attempt to overcome desire through asceticism (abstinence from worldly pleasures). Yet one is left with the paradox that to achieve a state of non desire one must have a strong desire to be without desire. Budokon asserts that desires are natural and as long as we are in the physical body we will have them. Therefore it is the goal of Budokon to teach right action with desire rather the renunciation of it.
