Welcome to The Moving Warriors

Where ancient wisdom meets modern movement. If you're seeking a transformative practice that combines the grace of yoga, the discipline of martial arts, and the strength of calisthenics, you're in the right place. Budokon isn't just about physical exercise; it's a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and holistic well-being.

BUDOKON

BDK Yoga

Budokon Yoga is an innovative style designed for combat athletes blending ancient Zen meditation with modern movement practices, including classical yoga, martial arts, mobility, crawling patterns, calisthenics, and life sciences.

BDK Mobility

Freedom to move is the essence of art, health, and longevity. Our mobility training is a creative blend of Budokon Yoga, Martial Arts and Free-Form Movement patterns. You will learn how to construct and deconstruct movement patterns,

BDK Calisthenics

Skye is an enthusiastic Calisthenics practitioner who passionately leads the way. This dynamic programme is a fusion of gymnastics, interval training, and mobility exercises, showcasing what sets Budokon apart.

BDK Animal Loccomotion

Budokon Animal Locomotion is a dynamic and innovative movement practice that intricately explores the application of quadrupedal locomotion to elevate the athletic capabilities of combat athletes.

The Buddhist sage Lin Chi told a monk, "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him." He meant that those who think they've found all the answers in any path or religion need to start questioning.

    My favourite movie when I was a teenager was '13 Going on 30." I wanted to be 30, Flirty and Thriving! 😉💕🤸‍♀️💅💄👄

Well, I'm here and I'm loving it! ❤️ You see my twenties were very challenging, I never quite felt settled, and they weren't a bunch of fun like some people might say their experience was. 

Only NOW do I feel relaxed in who I am, fitter and healthier than I've EVER been...fitter than my 18 year old self, confident, self aware and ready to do anything and everything my heart desires! 

I train and play outside everyday, I move, I go on adventures, I love HARD and I put my heart and soul into everything I do! 

Because why? You have got to GO FOR IT! Live a life that is wholesome and exciting! Be passionate, be a hopeless romantic, take risks, and go on adventures. 🌻😁🔥☀️

So here's to LIFE, LOVE & GRATITUDE for it all, for my family, friends and all of you. 

If you're burning to do something your heart desires, DO IT NOW! 😁❤️

Ps. IGNORE THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING POSITIVE TO SAY. 😁😉✨️💄💅🤸‍♀️🙏

LIVE IN THE MOMENT.

    Don't take yourself TOO seriously. I mess up daily. Don't we all though? Have fun! 

Here's a collection of Bloopers 🤣 I.E. The Real Me.😎

A little bit of a laugh right here. I never take myself too seriously. My advice, never stop playing, never lose your inner Kid and never lose your sense of humour...nothing is ever THAT serious. 🤣🤣🤣 I mean I literally Crack myself up. 🤣😎🙏

    Are you always getting injured? Or have you got a tight back, neck and shoulders? 

This really helps you learn how to invert with control and awareness, it teaches you to understand where you are in space and which direction to roll in. It's also great for neck, shoulder, and spinal health and injury prevention. 

Give it a go and let me know how you do. 🤸‍♀️😁⚔️🥋

    Test yourself. 🤸‍♀️

Don't be afraid to put yourself out there, to see what you're capable of. 🔥

When you have an open mindset, you'll be open to learning and then someone like myself can help teach you. 

I usually prefer to learn and study movement slowly and intentionally, but then when I'm ready, I amp up the intensity to really push my abilities.

That's what it is all about. 

👉🤸‍♀️ Keep Following me for more Movement Content and keep an eye out for something exciting coming soon!!! 😁🥋⚔️🔥

    Give this Mobility Drill for Jiujitsu & better Sports Performance a try! 🔥🔥🔥 Especially if you're stiff or struggle to invert. 

Your neck and shoulders will thank you. Just ensure you move slowly and get the technique right before rushing over to roll across the shoulder. Even if you only do one side at a time, so walk up to one shoulder and back down again.🤸‍♀️

Also, to avoid straining your neck focus on pushing and protracting the shoulder you're balancing on into the ground and push away, so your neck does not take any unnecessary load.🤯

👉Have fun and tag me in one of your BJJ warm up or mobility drill sessions. 😁🥋

Happy training! 🥋🙏⚔️♥️

    Enjoying my outdoor dojo and the autumn 🍂 leaves, while it lasts, before moving onto my new adventure and home. ☀️

But here's my Crane and Handstand Drills I worked on this morning, they're super tough but very effective in building both Strength and Stability. ✨️🔥💪

👇👇👇

1. Forearm Wall Holds
2. Forearm Wall Plank Holds
3. Forearm Wall Plank Knee To Elbow Taps
4. Wall Handstand Frog Pulses
5. Wall Handstand Floating Frog Foot Taps
6. Wall Handstand Floating Frog Slides
7. Chest to Wall Handstand Max Holds and Leans
8. Chest to Wall Handstand Knee Tucks
9. Crow Knee Taps 

Challenging, but really helpful for developing your upper body strength, stability and overall confidence leaning your weight into your fingertips, as this work is all about the Lean. 🔥🔥🔥

    You're not weak for needing rest. You're just Human. It's normal. Learn to release your grips on the outcome and expectations of yourself and rather surrender to the natural flow of things. ✨️🙏⚔️🌀🥋
    A little sneak peak into something I'm working on. It's a work in progress, but this is the point of the work itself. ✨️🙏❤️

I spent about 3 hours flowing through different variations of this. Messing up. Learning. Picking up the pieces and then going again. I love this. ❤️

    If you can't, then its time to start doing some more push ups. Don't even look at the weights till you can support your own bodyweight. 💪

    For the 《Warriors 》who 《Feel》♡ too much. 
Strength isn’t always in the battle - it’s in the tenderness beneath it. ⚔️🙏🥋❤️

My words. My movement. My truth. 

I’ve started tapping into my writing and self-expression, letting it flow alongside my movement. It’s a raw, vulnerable process - one that speaks to the warrior within. ✨️

If you listened to the full video, thank you, I appreciate you. 🙏😊

Would love to hear your thoughts or what this brings up for you. Leave a ❤️ if this resonates or share your own experience with me. ✨️

    Just a little tip, something that I do...you don't have to do it, but maybe consider it. 😉 👇

Movement is all about Adaptability. So this is just something I do in my training. I mix it up, I do different hanging leg raise variations, different core patterns, and different dynamic hangs or isometric holds - which for me has built a much stronger, durable core. 🔥

I've had to switch up my training routine, but this is nothing new to me. I've encountered injuries and setbacks before, so I know it's about changing your mindset and focusing on what you can do. I can't do inversions yet as it's too much pressure on my eyes, but I can train my core and my legs. 🙏

When there's a will, there's a way.⚔️

    The biggest lesson of all is learning Patience towards ourselves, our loved ones, our practice, our bodies, our struggles and life itself. 

I've had to really dig deep this year, as the past couple of months have been so tough mentally and physically. Sometimes life throws challenges our way so we can really practice what we teach. 

I often remind myself that there are times when the Warrior must be still, must be patient, must rest before the Warrior can fight again. 

This season of my life has called for a major transition and Healing period and just like this slow, controlled transition - I must enter it with precision, pause and strength. 

Honestly I have really battled with my health the past few months from burn out. But this is when it's a good time to pause.

Today was the first time in a while I felt strong 💪 and I am truly so grateful that I can be patient with myself during this time of healing. 🙏❤️💫

Always take care of yourself, even when it's hard to take a step back from what you're used to doing everyday. ✨️

    There’s a quiet power in mastering your own body.

Planche push-ups taught me that. 
Start on your knees — lean forward, press through the floor, core like steel. 
Then build. Slowly. Intentionally.💫🔥🙏

They’ve given me real-world strength — not just aesthetics. 
From Jiujitsu to striking, to everyday movement — these have changed how I move, fight, and feel.

I teach this in private sessions, small groups, and workshops.💫
Whether you're an athlete, martial artist, or just ready to level up — I’ll guide you there.

👉DM or WhatsApp me for training and workshop inquiries.

Let’s build that quiet power in you.❤️

— Skye Mallon 🙏

    I could write an entirely scientific explanation as to what develops a strong mind, body connection. However, to keep it simple and based upon my own understanding is this...✨️

You need to spend time with your body. 

You need to spend time moving with your body and exploring its anatomy, it's limitations, strength and weaknesses. 

You need to listen to its calls and learn to work with it and not against it. 

Don't be afraid of its calls or limitations. Be inspired, be excited and amped that you have the problem which means you can find a solution. 

Spend your training days learning about your body, what works for it and what doesn't. If you're not training with your bodyweight, then I highly encourage you to Start. 

Training with my bodyweight has taught me infinite amounts about my body and strengthens the relationship I have to it mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

It takes practice, but over time you'll notice the difference. 

Come spend time learning about your body and strengthening your mind body connection with me. 👇👇

I'm ready to change your life. DM me for more info! ✨️⚔️
