Budokon
Budokon, abbreviated BDK, is a hybrid movement system created by american mixed martial artist Cameron Shayne, that combines Martial Arts and Yoga with Calisthenics, animal locomotion, mobility training and striking and grappling techniques.
​
Budokon is for movers of all types seeking the highest level of agility, mobility, stamina, and strength.
​
The word Budokon derives from the Japanese syllables BU (warrior) DO (way) and KON (spirit), and translates as "The way of the warrior spirit". It was named for the spirit one must posses in order to change the changeable and make peace with the unchangeable.
​
Susanne teaches Budokon Yoga, and includes Budokon inspired mobility training, animal locomotion and strength training in her Yoga and workout classes. She is one of a few teachers in Italy offering this style.

Budokon style Yoga is a dynamic, physically challenging Yoga style that synchronises classical Hatha Yoga with martial arts, calisthenics and animal locomotion. Mind science and Zen Buddhism are its' philosophical pillars.
​
The foundation of Budokon Yoga is the Primary Series, which consists of 7 intelligently assembled sections of slow and controlled movements designed to improve mobility, agility, flexibility and strength. The techniques are learned through repetition and precision, the emphasis being on the transitions from posture to posture, rather than the holding of postures. The purpose of this class is to gain muscular strength, cardiovascular stamina, and joint mobility, while sharpening focus and fostering self observation.
