Why Zen-Dragon?

I wish to humbly inspire you to move more ninja like, regardless of your age or where you are in life. Don’t let notions of perfection stop you. Martial arts is a big part of how I move, but not the only way.

Zen-Dragon started out as a platform to share martial arts content, after a decade of doing so on a weekly basis, primarily thru Youtube videos, my passion has expanded beyond martial arts.

Going forward I’ll be sharing martial arts, parkour, calisthenics, and other types of beneficial training to help you become more ninja like, wether that means doing backflips (I can’t, but hey, I’m only 40 right now as I write this in 2025, so who knows what the future has in store)… or simply getting up and down from the floor.

I’ve included the old mission statement below for further context, as it still reflects how I feel in regards to the martial arts portion of what I share.

Zen-Dragon is for YOUR inspiration

The people who find Zen-Dragon appealing and useful fall into two categories:

1: The people who are or wish to become martial artists. There are many reasons why people are drawn to martial arts. Some people find the moves aesthetic or thrilling, others wish to learn how to protect themselves and others.

What brings people to martial arts is not important, what is important is what martial arts bring to people.

Martial arts is a way of developing confidence, discipline, self-knowledge and health. Just as importantly, it is a way to have fun thus increasing ones life quality!

2: Those of you who are simply not that into martial arts: Not all people are physically able to perform martial arts, while others simply have found other ways of applying them selves and channeling their passion. Zen-Dragon is not a “closed club” for martial artists, the point of this project is to make a positive impact! If the Zen-Dragon martial arts content inspires you to be a better parent, son/daughter, employee, boss, or in any other role, then that is valuable.

I also want to inspire you to follow your passion and enjoy putting in all the efforts needed for realising your dreams (big or smal).

But even if I don’t manage to inspire you, I hope at least my videos will entertain you.

Entertainment is vastly underrated in my opinion, in the end, life is about the experience.
