Mushin Bugeido®️ is a blended, self-defense, martial art that uses the opponent's energy against themself.
Mushin (mu-shin; Japanese のふりがな) - to move without thinking, or to do something automatically without having to think about it; literally "mind with no mind"; that is, a mind not fixed or occupied by thought or emotion and thus open to everything
Bugei (Bú-gee)- the adaptation or refinement of those tactics and techniques to facilitate systematic instruction and dissemination within a formal learning environment
Do (D-oh)- Literally, "The Way," with connotations of philosophy or doctrine. Common adaptation, "school" or "discipline"
History: Founded by Dr. Mark Hastings in early 2006, Mushin Bugeido is rooted primarily in Aki Jujitsu and Systema, although you will find bits and pieces of many martial arts intermingled throughout its principles. Although these arts deserve mention, Mushin Bugeido uses highly unique systems, principles and training methodology that are unprecedented, separating it as a unique martial art that is not being trained anywhere else in the world.
The lineage of Mushin Bugeido is Shito Ryu - Shorin Ryu - Aki jujitsu- Aikido - Daikido - Systema - Kali Eskrima - Mushin Bugeido.
Mark Hastings has been a student of martial arts for over 35 years, studying under two master sensei. He holds black belts in the arts of Shorin Ryu and Daikido. In 2006 Mark decided to open his own school to pursue the development of a martial art that he knew would be far superior to the commercialized arts currently being taught throughout the US and the world. He handpicked students that he felt had the desire, commitment, and athletic abilities necessary to create this unique art. He was able to acquire a free dojo space so he could offer his expert training at no costs to his students and so, Mushin Bugeido was born.
Along the way, Mark did extensive studying of many of the traditional Japanese arts in hand to hand combat, and swordsmanship. In 2009 he studied and trained under the teachings of Vladimir Vasiliev, the martial art of Systema. Integrating this art had a significant impact on the course of Mushin Bugeido, which has evolved and developed over the last twelve years. Now the principles of this art have been refined and redefined to the point that Mark felt comfortable sharing Mushin Bugeido with the public. In his words, "The study of martial arts is an ever changing process throughout your life, and the lessons you learn in the beginning will be vastly different from the lessons you learn in years to come, thus your perception of what you are learning will always grow and change."
"The lessons you will be focusing on have been taught for centuries and are the true secrets of human movement and self- defense. Use these systems with respect and sincerity." ~Mark Hastings, Founder
