The goal of Kukikan training

Everything is mind-made. The body is a result and manifestation of the mind. The world is interpreted by the mind through the body. Through the process of evolution the body has been designed to do hard work, for survival.

Therefore it becomes necessary to use the body in various ways to its optimum potential. Modernization has come with its own drawbacks, and we have to pay the price. Most of the work done, which needed a lot of physical effort, nowadays is done by machines. It becomes necessary to train the body to its optimum functional capacity, for which we have to use tools and its systems, like gym, martial arts, yogasanas, pilates, etc.

Many times people ask me what is the goal of training? What is the right path or way of training? These are the two most fundamental questions that must be answered before a person ventures further in any kind of training. Understanding these questions will delete a lot of possibilities of failures, disappointments, and waste of time on doing unnecessary things which need not be done at all. Let us take up the first question, ‘What is the goal of training?’

I would say that there are as many goals of training as there are individuals. Each individual will have their own individual goal. This would mean that there are millions of goals. For example, each sports person will want to excel in the event or sport they are playing. Someone would want to train to keep healthy, or another person may want to train to reduce weight or gain weight, etc., etc.

Kukikan simplifies each of the millions of training goals and connects it by a common thread and that thread is a sense of fulfillment. Kukikan training goals will have the common characteristics of health, happiness and peace which are common to all humankind. Therefore in essence each human being on this planet can be a potential practitioner of Kukikan.
