Sankyogo souvenir from the Conference

Thierry Noens

Thierry Noens, has been practicing karate since 1974.

 After fighting as a well-known international competitor, he became the coach of the French Kyokushinkai Karate Team. 

Trying to understand why martial arts may change human beings, he met Brain Gym and Touch For Health on the road of his researches and proceeded to create his own method. 

Originally, Sankyôgô was created for children at school for whom a new, creative and easy way of studying Martial Arts was desired. 

Today, this method is also used at another level with adults in an Occupational Health and Safety training situation. 

In 2010 Sankyôgô won the « Private Security’s Natinal Trophy » in Paris and became the Best Vocational Training for Stress Management. 

Sankyôgô is an approved complementary course and accepted for re-licensure credit in thr Brain Gym curriculum.

SANKYÔGÔ - TO UNIFY THE THREE FRONTIERS A Mind-Body-Spirit experience ( Thierry Noens)

«If we don’t move, worse grows the fear» This judicious remark by French writer Daniel Piccouly may summarize the whole Sankyôgô’s philosophy.

In order to fight against our fear we may ask ourselves: « What is blocking the road and barring my way? »

With this simple interrogation, we can put ourselves in those historical romance heroes’ shoes who had to fight threatening highwaymen standing across their road. We become the hero of our own story.

Mixing Educational Kinesiology principles and Martial Arts drills, story telling and role play enables us to create a surprising cocktail where

-   The stress is embodied in the highwayman performed by our partner;

-   The blocked roads may clearly materialize and the spot where the stress decided to stay often becomes easily identified thanks to partner exercises;

-   And.. we gently turn opposition into cooperation scaling down, at the same time stress and agressiveness !!!

Sankyôgô is a Secure, Accessible, Fun and Efficient method, which helps us to feel S.A.F.E in our daily life.
