Part 2: Sanchin Kata - I remembered this easier than I did Tensho

Today was something special.

After more than 30 years, I found myself reconnecting with my Kyokushin kata. I have been thinking about it a lot, but going through TMS treatment, a certain clarity has come over my mind. I want to dedicate more time to my Martial Arts and less time to certain aspects of Social Media.

At first, I wondered how much I would remember.

Then something amazing happened…

The movements began to return (not 100% 😆)
The rhythm returned (but not gracefully 🤪)
But The spirit returned as something deeper.

It felt like reconnecting with a part of myself that had been waiting patiently all these years.

A reminder that true martial arts never really leave you.
They become part of who you are.

Thank you, Kyokushin, for helping shape the person I am today.

Osu.

🥋 Your MMA Skills Already Exist…
Now Give Them a Budo Path.

Many MMA gyms and martial arts clubs today train a powerful combination of striking, grappling, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, BJJ and more.

But one thing many of these systems lack is a traditional grading structure rooted in Budo values.

ShinKudo and ShinBudoKan were created to bridge that gap.

These systems allow martial artists and clubs to have their existing skills recognised while progressing through a structured martial arts curriculum grounded in discipline, respect and the philosophy of Budo.

This pathway is ideal for:

• MMA Clubs
• Hybrid Martial Arts Gyms
• Striking & Grappling Programs
• Instructors seeking a recognised grading framework

Whether you are an individual martial artist or a club owner looking to affiliate, this is an opportunity to connect your existing training with a traditional martial arts pathway.

📩 Clubs interested in recognition or affiliation can contact Jason Hoad for more information.

The next stage will involve tournaments, workshops, gradings and instructor pathways.

This post is simply to begin identifying clubs and martial artists interested in the journey.

🥋 Expression of Interest – ShinKudoRyu / ShinBudoKan Workshop & Grading

Over the past year I have had many martial artists reach out asking how they can become involved in ShinKudoRyu and ShinBudoKan, attend gradings, and even open their own affiliated Dojos under my guidance.

I am now gathering expressions of interest for a future Workshop & Grading Day.

This opportunity is suitable for martial artists who are looking for a structured, professional curriculum and a pathway through a truly immersive and diverse fighting system, combining the principles of Shin Kudo and ShinBudoKan.

These systems bring together striking, grappling, conditioning and the deeper philosophy of Budo, creating well-rounded martial artists.

📌 No dates are locked in yet.
This post is simply to gauge interest before moving forward with the event and future development of the systems.

If you are interested in:
• Attending the workshop
• Participating in gradings
• Learning the ShinKudoRyu / ShinBudoKan curriculum
• Opening or affiliating a Dojo under my guidance

Please send me a DM or comment below.

More information will follow once interest has been assessed.

Osu, Jas 🙏🏻🥋

GO FUND ME - PHILIPPINES Dear Martial Artists and people of t… Jason Hoad needs your support for Provide a place for the kids in the Philippines to train

8 years ago 🥋
A true Martial Artist does not train to conquer others, he trains to conquer himself.

He walks in Honour when no one is watching.
He shows Courage when fear whispers.
He gives Respect before demanding it.
He stands in Loyalty, lives with Integrity,
and meets every challenge with unbreakable Discipline.

Skill makes a fighter.
Character makes a Warrior.

At least I can look in the mirror and know with all my heart that I built both of my Dojo’s from scratch. Brisbane started with zero. Gladstone started with zero. So when people have stolen from the ranks of my club, created fabricated stories in order to turn students against me, then I hold my head high, because I know that whilst they were under my instruction and care, I never wronged a single one of them. I don’t need to look at the ground if I walk past them like they have to. Because my conscience is clear. These people I once drove out to rescue from themselves at 0300 in the morning, the students who couldn’t afford to pay for months on end, only to buy a new car or bike and disappear for awhile. I would spend hours helping them through depression and suicidal ideation, all whilst battling much bigger demons than they were.
They had keys to my clubs and trained whenever they wanted to. They got either free clothing every order or at the minimum cost price.
So when I see screenshots of what these former students have said, and especially when my students question them knowing it’s complete bu****it, it has taught me that the trash taking itself out, is indeed a good thing. I have kicked out club cancers when I saw their toxicity spreading through the club. Only to see the club bounce back super positively once the s**t c***s were kicked out.

Coaches, Sensei’s, Shihan’s etc, what breaks your heart at the time because you did your best to love them, care for them and be there for them. Is actually making your next chapter that much better.

Here’s a big f**k you 🖕🏻to those cowards that rob from other clubs ranks with subterfuge and lies, I feel sorry for your students more than anything, because they’re not learning from a humble, disciplined and dedicated Martial Artist.
