About

I am Scott Heaney. In my 50s, obsessed about martial arts in my youth, and after a long break rediscovered myself and martial arts later in life. Martial arts became a vehicle on the path of mindfulness. I study Kyokushin in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The dojo is Contact Kicks and my teacher is Shihan Steve Fogarasi, 5th Dan. I have now started a new journey in Jiu-Jitsu under Professor Gregg King of King Jujitsu. Martial arts is a vehicle on the path of mindfulness and self-discovery.

This is not only a journal of my experiences, but I also hope that it can inspire others on their own journey. It is never to late and we can overcome any obstacles in our lives. I feel blessed and honoured to study under extremely gifted martial artists and teachers who encompass, Budo, or “The Martial Way”. Every lesson is helping me on my journey, not only in martial arts but in life as well. OSU!
