This Athletics CPT Course is a preparatory program with both in-person and online course work to become a CPT certified personal trainer in order to pass the NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) exam.

You train the Budokon athletics curriculum — strength training, conditioning, sprinting, leaping, bounding, plyometrics, calisthenics, throwing and catching, mobility, and crawling patterns — and you study the NASM-CPT exam map alongside it: basic and applied sciences and nutrition, client relations and behavior change, assessment, program design (including the OPT model), exercise technique and training instruction, and professional responsibility. Completing this course prepares you for that exam. It does not replace it. NASM still requires you to be 18, hold a high school diploma or GED, and have current CPR/AED certification before you sit the test.

The Athletics Camp is perfect for inspired movers who want to train the Budokon athletics curriculum — strength training, conditioning, sprinting, leaping, bounding, plyometrics, calisthenics, throwing and catching, mobility, and crawling patterns without becoming a CPT.

Absolutely. This is the perfect course for someone wanting to reclaim or develop their health and athletic ability. Beginners are welcome and will learn at their individual level.

First - we’re not inside a gym or training with machines. Unlike conventional fitness certifications, the Budokon Athletics CPT Course doesn’t isolate systems — it integrates them. You’ll learn to see the human body as a unified organism designed to move, express, and perform with precision and artistry. Graduates of the program emerge as hybrid athletes and master coaches, fluent in both the science and the soul of human performance.

Budokon Athletics is true longevity education — a comprehensive experience designed for those looking to transcend traditional “in the gym” fitness training and explore the full spectrum of true athletic development using body weight and proven training tools like kettle bells, sand bags, calisthenics bars, rings, etc.

Rooted in the Budokon philosophy of unity between the warrior and the yogi, this program blends cutting-edge athletic performance science with timeless movement disciplines. You’ll develop the physical intelligence, technical skill, and knowledge to guide yourself toward their highest athletic potential.

Our SINGULAR 100HR Athletic course is a one-week in-person training camp. The camp prepares you for the final video and written exams for NASAM, which you complete after camp, while also exposing you to the full Budokon Mixed Movement Arts system.

Single course example: BDK 100HR Athletic

All BUNDLED courses are multiple -week in-person training camps combining different curricula. Each individual camp prepares you for the final video and written exams of that specific curriculum, which you complete after camp, while also exposing you to the full Budokon Mixed Movement Arts system.

Bundle course example: BDK 300HR Mobility + Yoga + Athletics

Athletics training is an incredible tool over all longevity, but it’s not designed to teach you skills like jiu-jitsu or kickboxing.

Bundling courses gives you a much broader understanding of movement mechanics across multiple styles — not just within the Athletic curriculum. Learning how the human body moves when expressing strength, power, speed all while applied to movement across languages will make you far more skilled than understanding one. Cross-training makes you a better practitioner in every context, including the clinical work you're aiming for.
