Samuel Moura - Samadhi Striking Instructor

The Samadhi Striking Method Calm your mind, empower your body, transform your life. Samadhi Striking is an innovative methodology that combines Muay Thai techniques with mindfulness practices, creating a path of self-discovery and emotional alignment. Unlike traditional fighting training, its focus is not on combat against others, but rather on exploring one's own being, using movement as a tool to achieve elevated states of consciousness and enhanced well-being. Fundamental Principles: Conscious Movement – Each strike, movement and defense is performed with full attention, connecting mind and body in a fluid and intentional way. Emotional Resonance – The exercises are designed to unlock repressed emotions, transform internal tensions and promote emotional balance. States of Transcendence – The rhythmic repetition of strikes in synchrony with breathing and the guidance of the trainer creates an experience of deep immersion in the present moment. Progressive Self-Awareness – The training is not based on strength or resistance, but rather on understanding one’s own emotions and mental patterns, allowing for a continuous refinement of internal perception. Workout Structure: 1. Entrance Ritual (Anchoring and Presence) Conscious breathing practice (Pranayama) to align internal energy. Defining the training intention (example: releasing tension, finding mental clarity, strengthening self-esteem). Smooth initial movements to synchronize body and mind. 2. Samadhi Striking Sequence (Flow of Consciousness and Movement) Work with Thai Pads guided by the trainer who adjusts the rhythm and intensity according to the practitioner’s emotional state. Use of fluid and rhythmic blows, where each impact generates an internal resonance, helping to release emotional blockages and expand body awareness. The trainer as a mirror, provoking subtle reactions so that the practitioner recognizes his or her own impulses and response patterns. 3. Moment of Integration (Reflection and Grounding) Slow-down movements, gradually becoming a conscious stretch over the entire body to redistribute the energy of the workout. Short meditation practice, where the practitioner observes the effects of the workout on their body and mind. Closing with a mantra or positive affirmation to consolidate the learning. Benefits of Samadhi Striking: ✔ Deep emotional regulation – Release of repressed emotions and strengthening of resilience. ✔ Enhanced body perception – Improved coordination, posture and connection with the body. ✔ Elevated states of consciousness – Induction of meditative flow through movement. ✔ Self-knowledge and balance – Development of a more conscious relationship with oneself. ✔ Reduction of stress and anxiety – Synchronizing breathing with movement generates a calming and regenerative effect. Samadhi Striking is an ongoing journey, where each workout becomes an experience of discovery, balance and transcendence. The impact goes beyond the physical, transforming the practitioner's relationship with themselves and the world around them. Classes in English, Español and Português.
