This Aikido seminar is open to all Aikidoka regardless of affiliation. The
seminar explained by Chicko Xerri sensei hopes to lead people into discovering
pathways away from placing Aikido into the restricting category of martial arts.
By moving beyond the restraints of waza, into unique dimensions specific to
sensations created by the shapes of Aikido movement. People can experience an
elevated freedom in their training. Chicko Xerri sensei is a senior A.K.I
Australia instructor with a 35yr Aikido background who enjoys 25yrs close
connection with his Aikido mentor Takeda Yoshinobu Shihan 8th dan.

It is now a little over a fortnight until we kick off the first of the
Developing the Warrior Within & The Samurai Game Workshops in Australia!
I will be joined by Lance Giroux who is the most experienced facilitator of the
Samurai Game in the world today and together I am confident we will bring you a
workshop unlike anything you have experienced to date. If you haven't already
taken a look at the website www.samuraigame.org I suggest you do.

There have been a couple of changes since the first flyer went out a few months
back so I wanted to make sure everyone has the most up-to-date information.

* We have introduced a reduced rate for students  and the unwaged of $220.00. If
you fall into either of those categories  and you would still have difficulty
attending please call me to discuss.
* We are also able to offer BPAY in  addition to VISA and cheque. If you would
rather use BPAY please put a note on  your registration form so that we can
forward you the details.
* We have moved to a new, more comfortable venue a  couple of hundred metres
along Mains Rd. The workshop will now be held at the  Paloma Reception Centre,
121 Mains Rd, Sunnybank. There is still plenty  of on site parking and plenty of
café's and restaurants close by. For those of  you who prefer public transport
it is right next door to the Altandi railway  Station and the bus stops outside
on Mains Road.

While we still have spaces, we will accept registrations right up till the start
of the workshop so please share the opportunity to join us with anyone you think
might be interested.

I would also like to make you aware that you need not worry if you have any
concerns about an injury or particular physical condition you might have.  The
Samurai Game has been created in such a way that physical size, perceived
ability or perceived disability are not relevant to your capacity to be fully
effective and fully experience what the workshop has to offer.

Please call me on my mobile if you have any questions or concerns about the
workshop. More information and a registration form is available at
www.thesamuraiguy.com.au

I look forward to seeing you on Saturday the 25th.

Warm regards,

Paul

To David Kolb sensei and The Bayside Budokai. Thank you for providing the
company of Shimamoto Shihan and a very enjoyable seminar. I was touched by his
Gentle Mind and Humanity. Shimamoto Sensei kind expression no way detracts from
the Budo he expressed during the Saturday section of the seminar.
  His kind offer to visit his dojo in Japan is much appreciated.
  Noosa AKI Fudoshin Dojo members are greatfull for the opportunity and welcoming
open manner of all who participated. Thank you. Chicko Noosa Heads.

The courses will cover the essential and fundamental elements of subject control
and personal protection as taught within ISR Matrix and as necessary to
successfully intercept, stabilize and resolve a confrontation. Techniques will
include the helmet, dive, arm drag, underhook and pike, harness, wrist weave,
s-position and back mount. This course addresses the pre-requisite skills
required for intermediate and advanced courses within the ISR Matrix such as
Team Tactics, Combatives and Ground Skills and also serves as the first step in
joining the ISR Matrix Instructor Development Program. Testimonials are
available from www.isrmatrixaustralia.com/testimonials.html
                
ISR Matrix (Intercept, Stabilise, Resolve) was founded by Luis Guiterrez, Vice
President of the Straight Blast Gym, in conjunction with a panel of specialist
law enforcement and corrections defensive tactics trainers. Luis, an experienced
crowd controller, is a former Grappling Association Coach of the Year and a
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt. The ISR Matrix draws on a select few techniques
from Greco Roman Wrestling, Free Style Wrestling, Judo, Western Boxing, Muay
Thai Kick Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to form a truly integrated systems
approach, where an operator can escalate, de-escalate, engage or disengage as
is required throughout the confrontation and within any given agencies use of
force guidelines. Dealing with common counters, escaping common holds, weapons
retention and fouling the subjects attempts to draw a weapon are build into the
system and incorporated into training drills.  As agency’s have recognised
the incredible
  functionality and training methodology of the ISR, it has spread rapidly
throughout North America, the UK and over the last year in Australia.
 
Promotional clips, mostly of students in the early stages of training can be
viewed at www.isrmatrixaustralia.com/services.html
 
The course instructor is the Australian Representative for ISR Matrix and one of
very few ISR Matrix Field Instructors worldwide, with an extensive background in
subject control and defensive tactics within Australian Policing, Corrections,
Security, Military and health services, including overseas postings, force
protection, training, emergency response team and management roles. The course
instructor is a qualified Police Operational Safety Trainer and Public Order
Management Instructor. A qualified PPCT, Monadnock, KAPAP, Jim Wagners RBPP,
Keysi Fighting Methods and Redman Dynamic Simulation Instructor, the instructor
has also completed end-user courses with SPEAR, RMCAT, Tank Todd CQC, Floro
Fighting Systems and Geoff Thompson’s British Combat Association. The course
instructor is well versed in various modern subject control methodologies and
has been studying ISR Matrix for three years. Although he continues to refine
his training methodology and
  delivery by studying other systems and training overseas, he is yet to find
anything that can produce such functional results in a short time frame as ISR
Matrix.
 
Most course positions are already spoken for and the class size is restricted to
ensure good instructor/student ratios, so it's best to get in NOW to guarantee a

Course overviews, testimonials, risk management considerations and other

I have recently returned from Grass Valley, California where I played the
Samurai Game® at the Aikido¹Ka Dojo run by Sensei Frank Bloksberg. If you
have never heard of the Samurai Game® it was created by Sensei George
Leonard (who holds a fifth degree black belt) -  you can check it out at:
www.samuraigame.org

In short, two teams take on the roles of medieval Samurai each led by a
Daimyo and guided by the code of Bushido (even into death) ­ one team
against the other engaging in a variety of unpredictable contests. There is
no significant physical contact yet every contest requires the utmost
commitment and focus. The atmosphere is chaotic ­ metaphorically everyone¹s
life is at stake ­ and trying to stay centered is a real challenge.  Leonard
Sensei once described the game as ³... subtle and complex. Participants are
never quite certain of all the rules or of exactly what¹s going on, or what
may happen next.²  As far as I am aware it has been played all over the USA,
in Canada and Mexico, China, Taipei, Poland, Egypt and the UK. It has been
run for corporations and, like the game I attended, as a public course with
participants aged from 13 to those in their 60¹s.

I could say a lot about my experience of the Samurai Game®. For me it was
subtle and profound. So much so that I am bringing Lance Giroux of Allied
Ronin Leadership Training & Consulting to run the Samurai Game®  over a
weekend in Brisbane at the end of July. Lance led the game I played and has
been doing so since 1978.  We already have participants who have played
twice before with Lance flying over from Perth to take part!

If you are interested participating or just in finding out more shoot me an

On 3 February 1959 a tragic plane crash claimed the lives of Buddy Holly,
Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, later to be immortalised as "The Day the
Music Died" by Don McLean.  Years later some music died in Brisbane when in
September 2006 a blossoming alternative aiki kai scene was shot from the sky.

But now the music is set to live again as Bayside Budokai gets ready to welcome
Katsuyuki Shimamoto Shihan direct from the Toyonaka Shosenji Dojo and fresh from
his sell out tour of Holland and Eastern Europe. Sensei will be in concert over
the weekend of 4/5 July 2009.

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;

http://www.aunkai.net/eng/

http://charlie-and-cliff-in-japan.blogspot.com/2008/10/day-10-ueno-
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.

Hi all,

With the soon to be arriving new addition to our
family, I don't see that I'll ever have the need for
four gi's again therefore I'm selling two of them.

They are both size 3, one is in excellent condition,
selling for $35 and the other is in very good
condition for $25.

I'm in Brisbane and sorry, pick up only.  You can
contact me off list at this address.

Cheers,
Charlie

David Brown Sensei will be our guest instructor at Bayside Budokai at
Wynnum on Thursday 6 December and Sunday 9 December.  All welcome.
Contact Dave Kolb dkolb@... or check the website for details.

Hello,

A small group of us (from various arts/styles around the country) are
planning a series of two 2-day weekend workshops which will be
conducted by Mike Sigman.



At this stage, nothing is concrete as we are canvassing general
interest in such a workshop. However, two workshops are being planned
for - one in Brisbane, and the other in either Sydney or Melbourne.
Each workshop will run over a full weekend (6 hours each day Sat and
Sun). It is envisaged that the cost per 2-day workshop will be
$200/person. The workshops will be limited to a maximum of 30
participants each, to ensure quality instruction and more one-on-one
time with Mike.



If there is sufficient interest in an Aikido-specific workshop, the
content will cover the following material:

1. the basics of "ki" and "kokyu" movement/training

2. "Kamae" and the concept of central equilibrium

3. these basics as they pertain to traditional Aikido exercises (e.g.
kokyu-ho, fune-kogi-undo, happo undo, wrist exercises, suburi, etc.)

4. how to use these basic concepts in a testing format between 2 people

5. "Holes", balance and "floating" (e.g. how to apply kuzushi on contact)

6. Use and application of these basic concepts through some basic
(Aikido-specific) technique examples

7. More practical examples of using these basic concepts and how to
manifest them through the "Divine Will"

8. Exercises that will help dramatically increase your kokyu power



If there are insufficient numbers to warrant an Aikido-specific
workshop, the content will be more generic and equally
applicable to ALL martial arts, such as karate, taiji and
judo/jujitsu.



For those of you who are wondering who is Mike Sigman and what does he
know...



Mike Sigman has more than 45 years of martial training in judo,
Okinawan karate, Aikido, Taijiquan, and many other Chinese martial
arts. Since 1975 Mike has devoted his time to gathering information
and training methods for the body skills surrounding all the physical
abilities of ki/kokyu/jin power and in the conditioning methods (both
hard and soft) that are involved in the body/mind training of
breathing methods.
Mike was the editor/publisher of "Internal Strength" magazine and has
written numerous articles and given numerous workshops for the last 15
years in the U.S., Australia, Europe, and Scandinavia.

Mike has recently been asked to write a series of articles for aikido
journal these can be viewed at

expression of interest to me by replying to this email.

>Hi Richard,
Not sure what happened  there..., but I have reattached the
email relating to the SYSTEMA cross-training workshop.
Alternatively the Systema/aikijujutsu seminar should be able
to be found on the      www.aikibudo.com.au   website.
Hope that works.

Dante

Hi Catherine,
Many thanks for the notice about Maruyama Sensei's Melbourne
seminar.
Unfortunately for me at  that time this year happens to be
right in the middle
of the  pilgrimage period that I will also  be  training in
Japan . I haven't quite worked out how to be in two places
at once as yet,so again I have to miss out. It seems the
eastern seaboard  of Australia always gets the
  benefits. (Maybe one day if the SA people get past their
petty politics we can get an open minded martial arts  group
of sufficient size to warrant a visit from Maruyama
Sensei.)There are a number of us in SA who would be very
supportive and appreciative of such a visit.  In the
meantime it is expected that another aikijujutsu and systema
seminar/workshop will occur in late Aug or early Sept. Next
time I meet with John Ward Sensei, I will discuss with him
the necessary logistics of the possibilty of having Master
Koretoshi Maruyama
visit Adelaide.

Kind Regards
Dante
