Ryan Hayashi - Martial Artist, Speaker, Magician

Ryan Hayashi is a modern-day samurai. He was born in Canada and now lives in Mannheim, Germany where he lectures at the University of Mannheim. He began the study of martial arts at the age of nine and is martial arts sensei, or teacher, today.

He also spent time living and training in Tokyo, Japan. He studied at the world headquarters school of the Japan Karate Association. He is also a medal-winning competitor in martial arts and in 2011 received an astounding 9.9 at the Martial Arts World Championship.

When he isn’t teaching his martial arts students or appearing live on Television and showcasing his incredible skills, Ryan Hayashi travels the world and performs. He appeared on Fool US with Penn and Teller, and he fooled them! He recently visited the USA and appeared at a number of conferences and events including the Habitude Warrior Conferences in San Diego and Dallas and The Magic Castle in LA.

I’m thrilled to welcome Ryan to the Creative Mindset and learn more about his Samurai practice, concentration strategies, and how he combines art, science, history, and the martial arts in his work and life.
