Firewalking is an unforgettable experience that reveals your infinite potential. Firewalking is about challenging your limits and going beyond your fears. The challenge allows you to increase your personal power and offers all-round wellness. 

The mind is a mold-able tool, it is not fixed. You shape your mind from the firewalk experience and understand your power and your inner nature. Firewalking helps push your boundaries erasing dis-serving ideas and thought patterns previously held in your belief system. 

People in ancient times used Firewalking as a healing and cleansing process. It was also used as rite of passage for transporting boys to become young men and girls to become pure women ready for womanhood and motherhood. In some native traditions, young men ready to become Warriors were known to have walked on a fire-pit before moving off to engage themselves in battle. Whatever the purpose, firewalking was used as a tool to effect a paradigm shift for a greater purpose.

Through Firewalking you will learn awareness which is identified as a critical component to understanding fears, remove limiting beliefs and personal blocks and connect to your path of infinite possibilities. By doing so, you will be in a very capable position to help others overcome similar challenges in their lives.

Tolly Burkan established the Firewalk Instructor Course in 1986 and trained the first five FIT™ Masters that included Rolf & Owsa Beckman from Eight Directions (Sweden) and John Maisel from Eagle Center (USA).

In 2012, Rolf, Owsa and John trained and certified our Brother Kuna, who has the distinction of being the first FIT™ Master from Singapore and Asia. You can be rest assured that Bro Kuna has acquired the full knowledge and understanding of professional firewalking at its highest level. Asia Firewalking School ensures it courses are run professionally and we take our work seriously.

Under his leadership, Bro Kuna has trained a dedicated and efficient team of certified professional Firewalking Instructors and Masters who will ensure that you are fully served, supported and guided to give you an unforgettable and powerful learning experience.

Asia’s Best: There are a hosts of Firewalk schools listed in the internet. They are mostly based in Europe and the USA. We are the only firewalking school in Asia offering the professional FIT™ course. We are equally as good or better, blending culture, tradition, spiritual and technical aspects all inter-woven to ensure that you experience the best firewalking instructor course.

Popularity: Firewalking seminars are growing popular in the Asian region and there is an increasing demand for such events especially in corporate trainings. The prospect of conducting firewalking events in Asia cannot be undermined and we want to train the best professional firewalking instructors in Asia and the world.

 Course fee:  If you have already checked out the western firewalking schools in the internet, you can see that our fee of USD1,500 (£1400) is very competitive to what they charge for a similar professional training. One reason is that we exclude accommodation and catering in the course fee. However, tea/coffee breaks are included in the fee.

 Accommodation: We can provide you with a list of hotels, villas, homestays, B&B facilities that you can choose to meet your budget and which are close to the training venue. Whatever your budget, any accommodation in Bali offers you a very pleasant stay and good value for your money.

Meals:  The streets of Ubud, just a short walking distance from our training facility, are lined up with restaurants, cafes, eateries and food stalls providing western, local, fusion, Asian and vegetarian dishes to satisfy your taste buds. You will have enough time for your lunch and dinner breaks and rests.

Course Length:  Most western schools offer 3 or 4 day courses. We offer 5½ day courses. So you get more time to practice your skills and knowledge, to share, to learn, to question, to prepare yourself to lead your first firewalk event when you get back home.

The Course: Most firewalk schools basically focus on objective learning dealing with the skills and techniques of firewalking. Our course structure is just as professional and thorough as any other firewalking training school.

We have added subjective learning which is something that most schools do not touch on deeply. This is a topic where you learn the subtle aspects of yourself; about your strengths and weakness, what makes you unique and learning how things work in the real world.

In our course in Bali, we have included a special laughing yoga meditation with the laughing guru of Bali. This meditation is extremely energizing, healing and most importantly allows you to discover the lighter and humorous side of yourself.

Graduation: We will end the course with a beautiful Balinese water ceremony that has strong meaning and significance to your existence with the world. This water ceremony is specially arranged through the kindness of the local village people, their leaders and the spiritual master. It will be a rare opportunity for you to experience such a ceremony as this is not easily available to people outside the Balinese family.

Post-Course Support: We don’t forget our graduates. In fact, we become closer and tied strongly. We offer support and guidance whether at a personal or business level to start your firewalking instructor journey. We want you to succeed in your business and as an individual. You will have access to us and our available resources to start your Firewalking journey with our guidance.

 Easy Travel to Bali: Learning this course in Bali makes your travel easy, if you are traveling within Asia or elsewhere. Shorter distances means paying lower air fares and obtaining visa with lesser restrictions for Bali. Travel health requirements apply for travel to Bali. We will guide you as to what the latest updates are. We can also help you with local transport arrangements for your arrival and departure to and from airport.

Holidaying: Bali is a beautiful exotic island with many interesting places to visit that is flowing with culture, traditions, adventure, nightlife and sight-seeing. We encourage you to extend your stay to travel around Bali Island. If you are coming with your family and we can help arrange touring for your family whilst you are in training or you can go together with your family after the course.

A Special Note: There is a lack of professional Firewalking instructors in Asia. Professionally-run firewalking events are becoming increasingly popular in the Asia region. There is an increasing demand for such events and other high impact activities especially in corporate trainings, team building and personal empowerment seminars.

Not open-minded. Being open-minded is about being receptive  to ideas that are new and unfamiliar. You welcome all and refuse none and that allows you to be more creative, more considerate, and thus bring more value to the Firewalking Instructor Training course.

Don’t like to get your hands dirtyThe Firewalk Instructor Training Course is a hands-on course. You will be outdoors mostly, handling firewood, preparing firewalk sites and getting your feet soiled throughout the duration of the course.

Looking for lowest priced training. There are certain Firewalk Schools that charge less than we do for the training. If your criteria for choosing a course is based entirely on lowest pricing, you have every right to do so. Please now that we treat the course with the highest respect and we maintain a respectable price for the course. If we are unable to meet your pricing needs, we appreciate that we are not the training school for you.

Don’t like constructive feedback. We want to train the best Firewalking Instructors. We will be totally honest with our feedback and it is not because we want to criticize but because we want you to be the best. Maturity and openness to improvement are what we ask of our trainees. This is an important qualities of a first class firewalking instructor.

Not a Team PlayerYou will be working closely with the other trainees throughout the Course. We train, work, and eat together. You will be together a lot with other trainees. Responsibility, co-operation and communication is needed to be part of the team.

Not prepared to switch off your phone. Your phone is a distraction to other trainees and instructors during training hours. The training each day lasts about 12 hours. You can turn on your phone during tea-breaks and lunch-dinner breaks if its important. If you can be disciplined enough to set aside the phone during the entire 12 hours and place your focus and commitment to being fully present, rest assured you will be on your way to becoming an excellent instructor. It’s important to be in the course in person and not through the camera lens. Put your Social Media and emails on hold. Check in during your free time or breaktime.

Not giving the course your 100%. Closely linked to the previous point but also, you must be prepared to give this course your all. Be 100% committed. Try things that scare you. Get outside of your comfort zone, wherever that may be. If none of that applies to you or makes you reconsider whether or not you want to train as a Firewalk Instructor, we would love to hear from you.

It is always amazing for us to see our graduates finishing our course feeling more confident, focused, transformed and inspired. We also get feedback from them that people notice the changes in them and see them with greater respect.
