Hello Everyone,

During January there is chance for those that are interested to be
introduced to the Aunkai method. Rob John, who is one of the top
students in this method is looking to come out to Australia for some
quality relaxation and is keen to hold some small informal workshops
while he is out here.

For those who aren't sure what Aunkai is all about have a look at
some of the stuff available on youtube. Akuzawa Minoru, the guy
behind this method has been featured in the Aikido Journal and has
been the subject of quite some interest on the Aiki-web in recent
times.

Here is the website and a blog that describes some of what Aunkai is
about;

and-aunkai.html

Scroll past the first part of the blog for the interesting stuff.

If you still aren't clear on what this Aunkai stuff is all about then
it is basically are form of exercises that are some what similar to
yoga that are used to build a martial body, with all of the goals
that are found common to asian martial arts, relaxed body, strong
middle, balanced and centered.

Anyway, if you or your club are at all interest please let me know.
