Robert Ballou is a mindfulness and martial arts evangelist. He founded Move to Meditate, a 501c3 non-profit, to encourage mindfulness and Martial Vinyasa Arts, a mixed martial art that fuses Martial Arts & Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Robert began his journey in the martial arts in the fall of 1988 by taking a karate class at the University of Florida. Robert continued his training in Wado Ryu at the Gainesville Karate Center. Upon graduation, Robert moved to Hollywood, Florida where he trained in MuDo Kai and Cuong Nhu. Cuong Nhu is truly a mixed martial art, combining seven different fighting systems and it serves as his base for fusing yoga and karate. Robert then moved to Boynton Beach, FL where he continued training and teaching Wado Ryu Karate. Additionally, Robert has been blessed to study Isshinryu and Neisei Ju-Jitsu.
