Budokon requires a strong upper body and an open mind.

Recently, a group of local fitness buffs got to study it with the master, who came to Washington to teach a class.

Cameron Shayne developed Budokon seven years ago. His workout integrates the body's full range of motion and requires precision and focus.

In Japanese, budokon means "way of the spiritual warrior." It's become quite the rage in Hollywood, made popular by stars like Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox.

Although the movements mimic those of primates and other animals, Shayne calls this sweet relief for people's stressed bodies and minds.

Budokon students said it's left them transformed.
