I`ve never felt more free, more alive and more grateful than I am this year! 2024 has been a year where I chose to make a sincere effort to push myself further than I`ve ever done, to reach for my dreams, pour love into myself and those I love, make beautiful memories and live a life that`s true to who I am. 💖💖💖

Ironically, I`m terrified of all the things I`ve done...stepping outside of my comfort zone repeatedly, sharing what I`m most passionate about and challenging myself to embracing the unknown has made me feel so much more confident and proud.

Looking back now, I see how beautiful life can be when you appreciate the little moments but shoot for the stars.✨️ This truly brings joy to my soul.

I`ve met some beautiful people along the way who I love and appreciate so very much. They inspire me to grow further.

I`m so excited to see what 2025 has in store. 💖😁

I learned that even when you feel scared, feel the fear and do it anyways and listen to your heart. Always...

I`m still trying to figure that part out 100%, but I know when it whispers it`s time to listen. ❤

I`ve always been a little crazy, because I`m such a determined, passionate and stubborn girl lol. But I couldn`t live life any other way than with an open, passionate and courageous heart. ⚔️♥️🌹🔥👁🥋🙏

Also, learn to develop the art of patience. 🙏 The best things in life take time to come to fruition. I am in absolutely no rush. 🌙

Trust and live in the moment. ☀️

The point of mobility work is to create Movement Continuity, through Strength and Flexibility in the joints, muscles and soft tissue. It`s about finding a natural rhythm of Spirals, Rotational Mobility, staying Fluid and Adaptable in whatever transition or position you find yourself in so you can create space to move fluidly to and from any point. 🙏🌀🐚🥋

We got in a fiery Budokon Yoga Flow class taught by @tao.sin.nay today here in Haan, Germany. Followed by a much needed little strength, boxing and kettlebell sesh afterwards. 💪 Now at least I won`t be sooo restless on the long flight back home to SA tomorrow...I got to play on the playground a bit! 😅 My inner child is happy. ♥️👌😜🙏⚔️👁

Budokon Mobility for Combat Athletes Teacher Training in Essen, Germany 🇩🇪 ⚔️♥️🔥🥋👊

Try using your own Body to train with. Think of it as using and supporting your own body mass to get stronger and more athletic. 💪

So many times, I see people resist this approach because it can feel very uncomfortable, spazzy and frustrating.

Students who come onto the mat and are asked to support their own bodyweight through non linear movements sometimes freak out because they may have been under the impression it was easier. You`ve got to be stronger than this and persevere because it`s natural for humans to move functionally with their own bodies.

If you can`t. There`s a problem.

Many tell me, they`re too stiff, too big, or have zero flexibility, or too weak.

These are excuses.

It`s all relative to your body.

Be patient and face the music 🎶

Your body needs diversity and it needs movement disruption if you want to feel healthy, functional and confident in your abilities for life. 🙏

This year I`ve been lucky enough to achieve some pretty cool mobility transitions. However, if I`m being honest, I only really do them once I have done a few failed attempts and my body is properly warmed up. I`m not a fan of attempting these when you`re still cold or as a warm up, because they`re technical movements mechanically and you could injure yourself if not done correctly. 🙏

I love using repetitions and sets of these moves as opposed to flowing through them because it really builds mind to muscle connection, confidence and proficiency. I`ll only flow through them sequentially if I feel I`m warm and confident in the skill. That`s just where I`m at in my practice right now. 💫

You don`t have to rush through these. You can go slowly. 5 minutes a day and that`s it. Rest. Try again another day. I feel like a complete spazz with these when learning too, but eventually it gets smoother if you allow yourself to mess up and be a beginner. 🙏🔥💙

Being able to move with ease to and from any position, whether in jiujitsu, daily life, or other activities, is crucial for longevity. At the core of this is maintaining joint health and vitality, which allows us to move without pain, discomfort, or restriction. When you can move smoothly and efficiently, you`re not only preventing unnecessary wear on the joints but also reducing the likelihood of injury.🔥

Efficient movement is about being aware of your body and how it moves through space, ensuring you`re not overstressing any part of your musculoskeletal system. This awareness fosters good posture, better alignment, and the ability to react and adjust to changes in your environment. Over time, this reduces chronic pain, and even prevents the recurrence of injuries.

Movement doesn`t need to be flashy—its real power lies in its ability to help you age gracefully. With strong, mobile joints, you maintain independence and vitality, allowing you to continue enjoying the physical activities you love without being held back. Ultimately, the ability to transition freely between positions is a foundation for long-term health and longevity.🌸

The Budokon Komodo Dragon Long Backstep is a dynamic movement that combines mobility and combat readiness, ideal for improving body intelligence. 🤓🔥

I love this movement because it strengthens coordination for forward and backward stepping, especially useful when transitioning in and out of guard positions. Through controlled backsteps, it enhances fluidity and balance, vital for grapplers and martial artists. ⚔️

I’m currently learning and studying this movement as part of the Budokon Combat Conditioning programme, where I continue to refine my mobility and movement efficiency and my jiujitsu.🙏🐉

Forever moving, forever learning, forever growing 💙

A little note to myself and to you in case you need to hear it. ✨️ Take it from someone who has had to be incredibly self driven, we all need to hear a little encouragement now and then.

We are only human. 💙🙏⚔️

Determination is everything when it comes to learning something new or achieving a goal. 🔥⚔️

Take my experience learning the front headspring, for example. I failed countless times, landing on my back more often than not. But no matter how many times I missed the mark, I kept going. I honed in, stayed determined, and finally, I landed it. Sure, there’s still room for improvement, but the key is that I didn’t give up after the first attempt. 💙

Just because you don’t get something right away doesn’t mean you won’t. People tend to give up too easily. The moment they feel discomfort, difficulty, or frustration, they retreat. Instead, turn that frustration into motivation to come back stronger. Be brave. Stay determined. You might surprise yourself.☀️🐵🙏

🙌Budokon mobility has also taught me that it’s not about holding a static asana; it’s about controlling how you enter and exit it. The real magic is in the transitions, not the static shapes. You wouldn’t just stand still while learning to walk—you move. It’s the same in movement practice.💥
