The Japanese concept “fudōshin” (不動心) means an immovable mind — calm, controlled, and steady under pressure. It is the ability to remain calm, controlled, and steady during intense pressure. You act with total confidence without being hindered by anxiety, doubt, or surprise. Unshaken by fear. Unmoved by chaos. Untroubled by hardship. Disturbed by nothing. You feel everything. But react to nothing. Calm under pressure. Just locked-in on the goal. #samurai #stoicism #kaizen #mma #motivation

We had an excellent a set of colored belt tests this weekend. Congratulations to our new blue and purple belts! Thank you to the black belt judges and parents.

We had a wonderful belt test with a new 3rd dan, 1st dan, green, and purple belts! Thank you to Grandmaster Cavins, 9th dan, for your help and expertise as always! Thank you to the blacks belts who helped with the test and to the families and friends for all your support of the students and the school!

You don’t have to force your life to move forward. Shizen reminds us that peace comes from living in alignment, not control. When you stop pushing and start listening, your natural rhythm returns. What feels honest and true begins to guide your choices. Live as you are. That is where life flows most naturally. #KenHonda #JapaneseWisdom #Shizen #Life

Martial arts vs sport

Respect First. Always.
A moment of mutual honor and tradition during Female Team Competitions at the Chuncheon 2025 World Taekwondo World Cup Team Championships.
This is what is all about.

Agree we have students from 5 to 78.

At the British Taekwondo National Dan Grading in November, Joy Fraser of UTF Hata Budo was recognised as a 1st Dan on an emotional day at the National Taekwondo Centre.

At 73-years-old, the Hackney local continues to prove that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible, with her achievement just the latest milestone in a life that has consistently redefined prejudices.

Trying to be perfect. If I can’t do it perfectly, or if I can’t be great, then what’s the point? Sound about right Open. Andre Agassi. There’s a part of the book when he asks a coach for some feedback and how to be better. I believe he’s essentially told to stop trying to hit every ball in tennis ‘perfectly’ and just play. Get the ball over the net etc.. ie you could have won that point without being perfect. You went for perfect and missed by an inch, lost the point. A non perfect shot would have been 3 inches inside the foul line, but enough to beat your opponent. Often in running, life, sport etc.. we talk ourselves out of things because we’re chasing perfect. You don’t feel ready etc.. but just keep getting out there and getting something done. It’s about as close to perfect as you’ll ever get, and start being ok with that. If you’re new here - somehow I dragged myself to a 2.09 marathon.
