Budokon United kingdom

Budokon United Kingdom is a multi-cultural community that welcomes students of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Through Budokon mixed movement arts people come together and develop a deeper purpose than physical movement. As a collective group, we hold each other accountable to strive to be the best version of ourselves possible. The effect is a positive ripple throughout the world - one student at a time! It is the way of the Bushido. The journey of realizing one’s own inner warrior with a sense of inner peace achieved through Budokon's six pillar system. Join us!

The BDK Teens Mixed Movement Arts program is an extraordinarily holistic approach to supporting teenage development by teaching them Yoga, Martial Arts, Mobility, Quadrupedal Movement Patterns, Calisthenics and Meditation. BDK London helps support teenagers through what can often be a rather challenging period of life: dealing with academic choices, puberty, bullying, adolescence, concerns for the future and general transitioning from childhood to adulthood is stressful to say the least. Budokon provides a safe escape while also nurturing all those positive attributes that help our young adults grow into polite, respectful and upstanding warrior women and men of the community and of the world!

Events

As a general rule, we'll try our best to avoid scheduling events for any month during which a European Tour, Mixed Movement Camp or Teacher Training Course with Cameron & Melayne Shayne is taking place (they are usually held in the fall, somewhere between September, October, and November each year. On occasion, trainings might also take place in spring/early summer, between March and May). However, date clashes are sometimes unavoidable.
