It's true that you can learn anything on your own. But with the help of someone who is a master in the teachings that you want to know you can learn much so faster and more eloquently. If you were a painter, a few brush stroke lessons from Leonardo Da Vinci would take your abilites to a new level in your art, don't you agree? If you were learning classical music, a few days with Mozart would enhance your career, don't you agree? Training in classes with a master teacher of any nature or discipline is inspiring, to say the least, maybe even transformational. Someone once taught me that practice makes perfect. Well I tried that and I proved them wrong! Not on purpose of course, but when I trained and practiced incorrectly, all I became perfect at was doing it imperfectly. So now, having refined what I was taught, I say "only perfect practice makes perfect!"

For a limited time I am offering you a chance to pick my brain, train one on one with me, meditate with me (if you choose), have me fine-tune your life goals or help you to achieve any change you desire in your life. I love to inspire others. It is my passion. I want to be your life coach - a mentor that you can turn to. I have spent time in deep study with some great masters of Mind, Body, and Spirit as well as masters in the martial arts. During these inspiring Personal Transformation Sessions I have seen people's lives be changed every time without exception. If you are looking for or needing a Paradigm Shift to take you to the Next Level in your life then these sessions are definitely for you.


I'm only looking for people who really want to change. So, if a real change is what you want then I want to work with you.

Now, Imagine what it would be like to spend up to 2 full days morning, noon and night being personally trained one-on-one. Imagine being fully immersed in transforming your Being, getting your life questions answered, learning the martial art you love or achieving the inner peace you have been seeking for so long. Imagine being on the mountaintop doing early morning meditation (or prayer) with just you and I overlooking the vast valley below and experiencing the divine inside your soul. Imagine doing Bushindo energy exercises to increase your body movement and attunement with your higher sense of Being. Imagine being taught your favorite martial art one-on-one fine-tuning all your body movements and getting instant feedback that can take months if not years off of your learning curve no matter what your current skill level is, beginner or high Dan rank. Your Personal Paradigm Shifting sessions will be power packed with new ideas and new learnings tailored just for you.

Imagine taking a hike up a sacred mountain discussing aspects of your life and ways to empower it. Imagine being initiated into a several thousand year old way of sacred energy empowerments that only a few beings have experienced. Imagine having a private dinner on the lake. Better yet turn the imagining to reality and book your session right now to borrow from my 30+ years of martial arts knowledge from training in Japan over 50 times with Grandmaster Hatsumi and at least 200 other Grandmaster teachers worldwide. Borrow from my expert Master Trainer level knowledge of NLP/DHE (science of how you store, code and process information scientifically).

Borrow from my knowledge what I have learned in my life long spiritual quest that took me all over the world getting the most powerful enlightenment empowerments from every master, priest, guru, lama, shaman, healer, or medicine man and woman that I could find in every holy place I could get to.

Borrow from my knowledge accumulated from reading thousands of books, listening to thousands of audio/cd's, watching thousands of self-improvement videos and going to every class from Alpha Consciousness Training to Zen. I've already tested what works and what doesn't, saving you a lot of time, effort and money.


All private sessions are available at the Bushindo University in Northern California near the Napa wine country (or at your location of choice – investment varies). These sessions are power packed for you to get the most out of your experience. You are guaranteed to go away with changes and a plan towards a better life. I highly recommend that you start with 2-day Paradigm Shift Experience so that we can make the greatest impact on your personal transformation in the shortest time. And then utilize the 1 day Next Level Experience or 4 hour sessions as tune-ups to the lessons given you in the 2-day Personal Transformation get together. Everyone seems to want more time when they come than they have already booked and some times I have it to share with them and other times I am already booked.


Look to the light coming through the end of the tunnel. Book your own private seminar with Master Van Donk! This Paradigm shifting session is for anyone who wants an accelerated life experience in optimizing their body movement, martial arts, internal energies, healing life issues, clarification of mind, to receive spiritual awakening empowerment's or just to refine their human potential.

Satisfaction Unconditionally Guaranteed!

You will receive teachings not offered to the general public and rarely or not ever taught in any dojo. I can guarantee that no one else can offer you the combinations of teachings that you will get with me. This is a personal well-designed program to give you the fast track in life and to help you to resolve any life issues you have. The program is flexible enough so that it can be customized so that you learn what you want to learn. Give yourself the gift you know you want to get someone else to get it for you. Train with Master Van Donk, meditate on the mountain with him, practice Inner Power exercises together, and even just hang out and develop a more personal relationship with him with time by yourself!
