Keimoudo— Meditative Martial Arts Founder—Yoga acharya master Dr. M.J.Pillai Keimoudo — Meditative Martial Arts is a new age martial arts system founded by the inheritor and torchbearer of the timeless martial tradition, Master Yoga Acharya Dr. M J Pillai. After years of practicing various disciplines of Martial Arts and learning about its history, the Master became aware of a core purpose of martial arts that went beyond self-defence. This led him to undertake a fervent quest to seek the true purpose of martial arts. During this quest the Master was initiated into traditional Yoga Vedanta and with the blessings of his Gurudev, the Master attained spiritual awakening. It was then that the Master identified the true purpose of martial arts, realized the power of martial arts in promoting spiritual growth and founded Keimoudo—Meditative Martial Arts - “The Warriors’ Way of Enlightenment”. The Master integrated Yogic Science with Martial Arts and realized that when martial arts has a spiritual dimension along with the physical and psychological dimensions, it becomes a unique vehicle that helps the practitioner travel the spiritual path. Owing to this, Keimoudo is not a mere combat technique, a competitive sport, or a physical training regimen but a holistic science of living. Keimoudo is a discipline that develops the body, mind and spirit of its practitioners. Spirituality is the essence of Keimoudo. It is perhaps the first and only system of martial arts that is exclusively formulated and entirely devoted for attaining enlightenment. Each of its martial techniques is designed to induce meditativeness and accelerate the process of spiritual awakening. Keimoudo’s martial techniques function as a cathartic tool that cleanses the body, mind and emotions and, by the virtue of its intensity, rivets the mind in the 'here now' and compels it to remain rooted in the present. This 'presence' of the mind leads to expansion of awareness that eventually results in a state of meditativeness and inner transformation. Keimoudo — Meditative Martial Arts uses martial arts as a vehicle for understanding the self. A healthy body breeds a healthy mind, which in turn becomes a medium for purifying the soul. Keimoudo’s training constitutes three dimensions: 1. Physical Dimension Students begin training in Keimoudo — Meditative Martial Arts with Keimoudo Body Conditioning Exercises which tone the body’s muscles and strengthen the bones. They also practice yoga asanas for increasing body flexibility.
