Today we’d like to introduce you to Nelson Leon.
Hi Nelson, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Nelson Leon, a Venezuelan-born human being from planet Earth. I am a Calisthenics, Yoga, and Movement Coach but most importantly, a student of Movement. Throughout my life, I’ve practiced different sports since the age of 5 yo; I practiced Track and Field, Baseball, and Rugby.
Rugby is the one I played the longest; some of my best memories are with my rugby families, it’s by far one of my favorite sports ever, “A Barbarian Game Played By Gentlemen”. Rugby has taught me many life lessons and values, such as teamwork, camaraderie, perseverance, hard work, modesty, and courage. Due to injuries, I transitioned from Rugby to Calisthenics, to improve my mobility and strength.
After I found Calisthenics, I shortly discovered Mixed Movement Arts at the Budokon Academy in Miami, which taught me different movement patterns as a form of expression, a language – a new language. This was a turning point in my career from rough sports to the elegance of Mixed Movements Arts.
In the beginning, it was hard for me to understand that hard physical training isn’t just to go and win a game, is in fact to allow you to grow as an individual, a better version of Yourself. The competition isn’t against the other team, it is always against myself, one-on-one against me.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Life itself will always be a challenge. Being a father, and husband, and having multiplayer le jobs. These are always going to need integration.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Besides being a Systems Engineer for over 20 years and currently working with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.
I am a mixed movements arts coach; I draw from Yoga, Martial Arts, and Calisthenics to teach movement based on the BUDOKON philosophy that embraces “The way of the warrior spirit” where throughout movement we teach individuals to learn about themselves and to embrace in a healthy lifestyle, becoming added value in all the roles of life. “Developing problem solvers and critical thinkers.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you.
Good or bad I think that the combination of being who I am: Engineer, Athlete, Coach, Teacher, Mover, Student are of my luck.
