Welcome to the world’s first Dudeist Monastery for martial arts

Dude Jitsu — the fastest way to slow things down

When throwing an oat soda at them isn’t quite enough

The Dudeist Monk: a double threat with Dude-Jitsu

If you’re a practicing Dudeist, or even if you prefer napping and lounging to things like ‘practice,’ you’re in the right monastery. Just roll onto our dojo mat and do a few stretches to loosen up.

Then, checkout the monastery’s insights into that ancient martial art, the most laid back counter-punching system ever developed… Dude-Jitsu.

Getting your groove on

Dude Jitsu has a few daily tips, distilled from centuries of martial arts teachings.

ESSENTIAL POINTS OF EVERYDAY-LIFE SELF DEFENSE
1. Compete with no one except yourself.
2. Be aware of your surroundings.
3. If you are surrounded, relax.
4. Abide. Your surroundings will want to imitate you. That’s nature.
5. Self defense? The main thing you have to defend against is your self.

JIU JITSU IN EVERYDAY LIFE AND LEISURE

Some monasteries are associated with martial arts. The Monastery of Nothingness observes that tradition. We share training experiences as well as lessons learned along the way. We like to tell stories about all this, much like when adventurers find themselves sitting around a comforting campfire at night.

Martial arts has a unique way of forming and molding a student, ranging from improved physical and mental health and flexibility, to helping sharpen or focus our minds, to providing us with highly skillful mindfulness training, to giving us the courage to relax and remain equally calm when facing both life and death.

If you’re feelin’ a little twinge of uncertainty about all this, it might be time to go wash it all down with an ice cold oat soda. Or maybe just go wash it down for no reason at all. Or maybe just go take a nice nap. That’s Dudeism.

And regarding The Monastery of Nothingness being Dudeism’s first monastery… it’s all unofficial and casual. Because that’s like, yanno, Dudeism, man.
