Following this will be the advertised series of workshops run by a variety of Aikido Yuishinkai Instructors, these are open to all to attend.
5pm Rolling for beginners
Andrew Sunter Sensei, Aikido Yuishinkai Sydney
Andrew Sensei will teach his interpretation of the rolling method used by the Systema Russian Martial School to instruct people, together with gymnastic methods for a fear free way to learn to roll. A bad rolling experience is the number one reason why people that try aikido don't come back. The Systema method using a breathing and stretching method to develop body awareness and a sense of connectedness with the mat, this developes into basic forward ukemi and has been praised by many an aikido neophyte as finally conquering their fear of the mat.
5:30pm Soft breakfalls ukemi
Peter Kelly Sensei, Aikido Yuishinkai Hobart
Peter sensei introduces a soft breakfall ukemi method. Breakfalls form an important of any aikido syllabus. Kotai style break-falling as taught in our school teaches students to synchronise body hands and legs striking the mat and is an important tool to reduce the risk of injury in our everyday practice. Peter introduces juntai level breakfall ukemi where the hand leads the body segments thus distributing the force over time so as to create a softer fall, reducing the impact force on the body

6:30 pm Growing your dojo
Daniel James Sensei, Griffith Aikido Yuishinkai
It is popularly estimated that only 1 in 100, or a 1000 students will get a black belt. Danny deconstructs typical dojo statistics and draws upon a number of how to run a martial arts schools type books such as these and outlines remedial actions for creating sustainable growing dojos, without selling out. Basic concepts such as 'the funnel', developing 'critical mass' and the 'dojo pyramid' will be introduced to aid in reflection. It is hoped that mundane activities such as advertising, recruitment and retention techniques will be shared by participants.
