About Five Rings Training

-
FIVE RINGS TRAINING & RESEARCH INSTITUTE focuses on the cultivation and development of the individual through advanced physical mental and energetic training programmes.

Based in London and working worldwide Five Rings Training focuses on providing exceptional training systems for the individual which encourage the development, connectivity and advancement of the human system as a whole.

 We understand the human being as a system of body, mind, soul and energy. This 'system' of 4 components navigates through a sea of constant changes and the 'state' of its condition at any one time radically impacts the conditions of both its inner and outer environments.

With the correct knowledge, we can begin to integrate ourselves, directing our navigation for a more balanced, healthier, happier and successful life.

This is the underlying work of all our programmes, for which expert skills training works hand in hand with energetic awareness and mental and physical repatterning to increase abilities, capabilities, options, confidence and function as a vehicle for personal development of the whole.

The writing of our training systems first began in 2005 after a 10 year dedicated research study into the body in combat: how the system functions under duress for survival. The findings of this work were applied to build advanced training programmes to increase performance in athletes leading to international championship wins. Following this success, the same principles were utilised to build recovery programmes for attack victims and soldiers returning from tour, then further developed to advance the defence and security training within our own schools and human development work of the FRT institute.

Since then the scope of our work has expanded vastly to map an Architecture of the Human System (TEDx) which serves as a programme software from which we write a full spectrum of training programmes, from defence and security through to advanced leadership and performance programmes. Here are some current applications below. You will also find information on our current studies and work at our website www.fiveringstraining.com

The Name
Five Rings Training takes its name from the classic Samurai text The Book of Five Rings by legendary Japanese sword master Miyamoto Musashi.

Commonly regarded as a manual on how to succeed in life, this book has been used since published everywhere from Japanese Budo (meaning war) martial training schools to Wall Street. Japan's business executives have long applied Musashi's teaching to their business methods - providing a strategy for decision and action. For us it is also a reminder of the dedication to knowledge, training, personal development and the turning of our understanding into wisdom which is the true opportunity in life to push towards our true potentials.


Founder
Five Rings Training's founder trained in both arenas of business and the Budo martial arts training schools of Japan. As a respected architect & consultant within the UK construction industry, she lectured in Japan whilst undertaking her Black Belts under the tutelage of legendary Grandmaster and top student of Mas Oyama, Kancho Yoshiji Seono. On her return from Japan she was ranked top female Shidokan fighter in the world, became coach to the British men's team and embarked upon intensive training in defence and security skills, all whilst self-funding the studies that were to become the root thinking of the FRT Research Institute today.
Kirsty Henderson's qualifications illustrate a background of intense study, training and personal achievement: 3 University Degrees, 2 Black Belts undertaken in Japan, 7 Instructorships in combat and defence, a Degree in eastern energetics plus over 15 years of her own personal studies of combat psychology, recovery, energetics, philosophy and theology and a wealth of advanced academic studies underway at the FRT RI. Henderson now works globally with a hand-picked team of instructors and keeps a strong community of collaborating businesses who she considers to be the best in their fields ensuring a level of excellence is maintained across all FRT projects worldwide.

The Enso Logo
The FRT logo uses the Zen Enso symbol (Japanese word meaning circle) which represents enlightenment, strength, the universe and the void, and is an expression of the moment.
It is a timely reminder, for a generation in which the instant reward is expected, that the route to our desired destinations is often the long way round requiring the application of balance, inner grace, understanding and dedication. Some artists will draw enso daily as a type of spiritual diary: the shape of the circle formed in a single stroke displaying balance, patience and development.

Take Responsibility
The FRT motto is Take Responsibility for which we focus on increasing awareness and overcoming our limitations and fears to unleash potential and be a highly efficient version of who we were meant to be.
People don't act and don't take responsibility through fear. Expert skills training combined with knowledge and awareness is one way to tackle fear concepts and why our combination of mental and physical skills training and energetic awareness is central to the founding concept behind Five Rings.
With increased knowledge, abilities and personal energetic awareness, we as individuals begin to understand the very impact we have on our own lives, the lives of others and how others are impacting us.


FRT Glossary
BODY
When we use the word ‘body’ we refer to the collective body of mind, body, energy, soul which make up the human system.

STATE
When we refer to ‘state’ we refer to the condition of the human system at any one point in time. States are not positive or negative, they are balanced and aligned i.e clear and connected or unbalanced and unaligned. Often this means they are also weak and blocked.
States are also categorized as individual, or collective.

Individual states can be affected by the collective. The collective is affected by the individual.

The Top 10 Ingredients for High Performance

Image
At Five Rings Training I train athletes and business leaders in how to take their game to the next level. Within that work some of the most rewarding journeys have been those which involved taking beginner sportsmen and women to national and world championship wins, and individuals with a dream to become successful start-ups.  High Performance is available for everyone, it is not an elite option available to a chosen few. Anyone in any chosen part of their life can decide at any time to increase their performance and capabilities and with the correct guidance and mindset the seemingly impossible can be achieved. Here are my Top 10 Ingredients to lifting yourself, your life and your capabilities to get your started: 1) Positive Feeding You simply can't expect any part of you: mind body energy or spirit to be in a good state or function well if you're not going to provide your system with positive food. By that I don't just mean nutritional or healthy, I mea...

Time

by Kirsty Henderson | Five Rings Training:     One topic which has fascinated me for years is  why  as a martial artist do I experience time differently  and why does time slow down so much during fighting?   Are you a martial artist who has experienced that sudden slowing down of time right in the middle of a high-speed interaction, with time becoming slow enough for you to assess your options?   If so, you are not alone.      Time bends to the number of faculties being used Humans experience time differently during experiences in which more faculties are being used. In short, if we increase our faculty use we increase our time.    In martial arts training terms this means the more you push to expand your training capacity, the more of your faculties are available to you, and hence the more opportunity you have for slowing down your perception of time.     Time Theories There are many theories why humans ex...
