About the practiceCombat meditation

On the mats.

ZendōJitsu brings meditation into the living relationship of martial arts: body, breath, a partner and the situation unfolding between you.

We explore how experience takes shape through contact, and how we respond with our whole being. Concentration, relaxation and visualisation become ways of meeting what is happening, in movement as well as stillness.

Explore the gyms and camps below for a closer look at each setting and the practice we share.
