Way
"The point of this work was to create a place of thinking, studying and training which could help people develop, give them skills they need to cope with life and its often quite brutal challenges, and train them to become strong and self-mastered enough to become who they are meant to be."
Kirsty Henderson, FRT Founder, on the Building of Five Rings Training.
We focus on the development and cultivation of the Individual, as change at a societal level begins and ends with each one of us.
Individuals can be affected by the Collective. The Collective is affected by the Individual.
We teach what we have trained in and live ourselves.
All the tools we pass and the knowledge we share we already apply to our own lives. Our tools and skills are practical, easy to understand, simple to apply, inspiring and empowering in their results.
Join us to journey through our unique combination of ancient wisdom, eastern training systems, elite performance and human behaviours to understand the link between mind and matter, how to build yourself to positively impact your environment, learn how your environment impacts upon you, and gain the tools to meet your needs of your human life cycle so you can self-reliably function and thrive.

Glossary
Five Rings
Five Rings Training takes its name from the classic Japanese text
The Book of Five Rings
by Miyamoto Musashi
commonly regarded as a manual on how to succeed in life and titled the Classic Guide to Strategy.
Musashi
Musashi was Japan's most legendary and unconquerable Samurai. He wrote the book in 1645 distilling the philosophies of Zen, Shinto and Confucius. Used by martial artists and business leaders alike, the Book of Five Rings articulates the ancient wisdom of the Samurai Way which provides strategy for decision in all areas of life - the home, the battleground and the boardroom.
At Five Rings Training we combine ancient eastern wisdom with theology, health and training science, human behaviours and elite performance psychology delivering groundbreaking whole body training programmes.
Enso
The logo is the Enso symbol, Japanese word meaning circle, which represents an expression of the moment when the mind is free to let the body and spirit create; the condition of no-mind or mushin.
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.
Physical action for spiritual purpose.
Mu
The enso symbolises absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, and mu (the void). At Five Rings Training the enso reminds us of the importance of the quest for personal and spiritual development, and the significance of building ourselves as a strong vessel capable of holding of the inner sacred sanctum within.
Mushin
Mushin is achieved when the mind is free from fear, anger and ego and allows one to embody their true self, enabling functioning at a highly intuitive and creative level.
Reaching mushin is to be completely present in the Ideal State, unhindered, unfettered, pure in heart and humbly connected to the Divine.
Take Responsibility
Our motto is Take Responsibility encouraging the building of the Individual to enable their own thriving and their positive impact on the collective.
We teach the skills to self-build and equip those we train with the tools needed for the demands of the human life cycle.
