FAQ
I STILL HAVE A JOB AND RESPONSIBILITIES BACK HOME - CAN I MAKE CALLS AND IS THERE WIFI ON SITE?
Yes, we have an open wifi network for our students to use at the guest house. Remember that we live in a remote rural area and that the wifi speed behaves accordingly. Make sure to schedule necessary appointments so it does not conflict with the training hours. Mornings before training, during the brunch break or at night after training would be the best time frames for that. Always check in and confirm timings with Melayne prior booking anything. There is no cellular service, however you can enable wifi-calling.
WHAT ABOUT PERSONAL CARE?
Making conscious choices in all aspects of our lives is key to us. We exclusively use natural solutions derived from plants and ask you to be considerate of our way of life and join the mission for a greener more conscious planet! Make sure that the toiletries you bring reflect our mission! We also provide body wash and shampoo.
COMMUNAL LIVING = TEAM WORK
You will join this experience as a tribe member - we train, study, cook, eat, clean, play and sleep together. Community, team work and contribution are an essential part of your experience at BDK Montana. During your training you will be assigned to a team and daily responsibilities.
ARE WE REALLY TRAINING ALL DAY?
Pretty much yes. The day officially begins at 8am with morning chores. Training usually starts at 9am and ends at 9pm, if not agreed on and communicated differently. We start the day with a 30min zen meditation practice. The rest of the day is a combination of physical and mental training, personal and partner exercises as well as group classes. We will also take time to truly connect and be in nature, garden, hike, and enjoy other fun outdoor activities. Budokon is a Mixed Movement Arts System, and during your stay we will train in all our modalities: Jiu-Jitsu, stand up striking, Calisthenics, Crawling Patterns, BDK Yoga and BDK Mobility.
