THE BUDOKON MASTERS program

BDK MONTANA | July 4 - August 2, 2026

program DESCRIPTION

Each summer our Masters Certification Program often referred to as the “GuruKiller” experience offers a select group of 10 students the opportunity to spend 1 month with Cameron & Melayne living the Budokon life at the Budokon Big Sky Retreat in Whitefish Montana at the base of Glacier National Park. With no light, noise, or air pollution this unique group of hand selected students should expect a massive detox from city life. For 28 days (including arrival and departure days) you will study the science, philosophy and art that is Budokon Mixed Movement & Living Arts.

This is by far our most streamlined and economical offer for Budokon Professional Coaching training. Although it is a 28 day training course, it combines 5 individual certification programs into one time frame reducing the cost of travel and single course work by $5-7 thousand dollars if done over time individually.

Like all our in person camps you will work directly with Budokon Founder Cameron Shayne as well as Budokon University Director Melayne Shayne, with additional support from their highly educated team of assistant coaches. Your training encompasses the daily study of the renowned Budokon MMA system including mixed martial arts, meditation, strength & conditioning, mobility and yoga, nutrition and conscious living. You will cover topics such as evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, meditation, pattern interruption and belief deconstruction, critical thinking and emotional intelligence. Expect a true and unparalleled life hack. 

All our certification programs are a combination of online and in person studies. The months prior to the in person training camp you will familiarize yourself with the Budokon matrix via our expansive Budokon online library to prepare for your time in Montana. The online library is also a platform for community building and connecting with fellow students.
