Your hub of information for all things related to Traditional Martial Arts.
I’m a former lawyer turned global yoga and karate instructor, but at my core, I’ve always been a puzzle-solver. Whether it’s decoding the complexities of dojo politics, navigating hierarchy, or building social media confidence, I love finding practical, thoughtful solutions to challenges. What many don’t know is that my passion for detective novels, mystery TV shows, and problem-solving goes hand-in-hand with my role as a helper type—I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family seeking advice. Now, I’m bringing that same curiosity, empathy, and strategic thinking to this column, helping karateka worldwide untangle the questions and dilemmas of dojo life.
If you have a question—no matter how big or small—I’m here to help you find the answer.

Welcome to Budo Mindset, a ground-breaking magazine that aims to revolutionize the world of martial arts by standing for inclusion, diversity, and innovation.
We believe that the time has come for martial artists from all backgrounds to have a platform to express their ideas, share their research, celebrate victories, and have their voices heard, regardless of race, sex, affiliation, or physical ability.
Together, we can put an end to the discrimination that has plagued this vibrant community for far too long.
As part of our commitment to fostering a sense of unity and understanding, we offer a variety of engaging content.
COMING SOON
Insightful podcasts featuring contributors who are open to sharing their experiences, knowledge, and perspectives through interviews conducted in this dynamic format.
COMING SOON
Our dedicated YouTube channel will serve as an extension of the magazine, providing martial artists with the opportunity to explain and demonstrate their thoughts.
In the coming months, we will be publishing a special edition magazine honouring the life and work of Asai Sensei. With contributions ranging from close students to people who have only been affected by the tide of his contribution to Karate.
To increase accessibility and make these magazines cost-effective, they will be made available through Amazon.
In the future, further hard copy magazines will be published featuring other great teachers and 'best of' articles.
COMING SOON
We also feature a merch store, where martial arts enthusiasts can find a wide variety of high-quality products to showcase their passion and dedication to the art.
