Jen and I have moved (for the last time for at least 1.5 years) - as Jen was offered a great job here in Toowoomba. Sadly my mobile phone is broken - but you can contact me on the phone number at the bottom of this page.

Michael Conroy from Byron Bay also recently moved here and we are launching classes/study group here (details below). Cost will be $7 (as normal). We will also be available for training on weekends in the park - and I am available for one-on-one or small group sessions during the day on Thurs and Friday.

I hope to see some of you guys here soon, and I will also endeavour to get back to brisbane in the near future for another workshop.

Did anyone lose a pair of those plastic clog shoes light brown in

them? Let me know and we'll work out how to get them back to you.

Guys

Just like an indication of numbers and also if anyone is relying on
public transport I could organise a pick up at say Strathpine station
or perhaps those who need a lift can put up a reply to this thread.

G'Day Everyone.
Just a short note to let you all know that the Lawnton study group is
now going to start at 7pm instead of 6:30pm. Still meeting on Monday
nights at the Lawnton Community Hall corner of Todds Rd and Ellis St
Lawnton.
See you all then.
Stuart.

One of the main reasons folks are attracted to the martial arts is
the implied or stated benefit of becoming stronger, more confident,
and tougher.
In many dojos, without question, you'll achieve these goals.
When you step onto the mat you'll spar with fewer fears and
butterflies, be able to withstand kicks and strikes, and
authoritatively pay them back in kind.
But when you put on your street gear, and especially those business
or work outfits, do you shrink from being a king of the mat to a
doormat?
Are you just as likely as you ever were to defer to others more than
you'd care to, more than they deserve?
Do you go way, way out of your way to squelch conflict, thus becoming
unnecessarily passive, an indirect communicator, and an inadvertent
abettor of bullies?
Dojos should, as part of their curricula, give their
members "homework," just as traditional schools do. But in this case
the homework is more like a "lab" assignment, where your laboratory
is the outside world.
Every week, dojo members should be held to account for
their "application assignments."...

Sorry - we'll also spend some time going over "Systema kicking". Very
interesting and not a topic often covered.

Hi (Brisbane) Guys,

I am going to the 4 day seminar with Alex Kostic over Easter. I was
wondering if we can organise a full day of training in Brisbane a couple
of weeks after that (so early April) so I can share what Alex K taught
for those who missed out.

Ideally if Aaron or Shayne are up for it having it at someones house
would be ideal so we can keep costs down ($10 each to cover my petrol
etc).

Spread the word and see who is interested, it would be nice if we can
make it a good session. Let me know of dates that suit and who is
interested (maybe a 5 - 6 hour session)

Andrew

G'Day Everyone,
Yep, Just a reminder that that the Lawnton Systema Study Group is
meeting every Monday night at the Community Hall Corner of Todds Rd and
Ellis St Lawnton. Topics for study for the next few weeks are:
Takedowns, going to ground (safely as possible) and rolling. Following
this we might look at some knife work and "simple" weapons.
Are Monday nights a problem? If so let Shayne or myself know, and if
the majority would prefer a different day we can look at this option.
Thanks,
Stuart.

Dear Andrew,

Looking forward to further details. I'll probably only make the Brisbane
seminar but we'll see what happens.

I have been discussing the seminar format and topics with Kevin and I am seriously excited at what we will be doing. The two seminars will have a connected thread so if you attend both there will be an exciting progression across the two - however they are also designed to work as "stand-alone" seminars as well.
Kevin is writing an outline/article introducing his aims and goals for the two seminars and I will be posting it on my web site and here when it is done.
I honestly believe these two might prove to be the best systema seminars we have ever had  in Australia - I will be offering big discounts on advanced bookings and even more on booking to attend both seminars to make it as affordable as possible, so stay tuned!

Been thinking:
 
One seminar will be in Melbourne and the other will be in Queensland.
 
Let me know your thoughts guys for the Queensland one:
 
1. I just hire out the PCYC again
 
2.(my prefered option) I put a package deal together for hotel accomodation in Noosa and the whole thing becomes a bit of a holiday - that way families can come up and enjoy a weekend away too...

Hi everyone,

I am currently in discussion to bring kevin Secours out to Australia
again for another seminar or two. We are looking at late October and I
am contemplating holding 2 seperate seminars:

One in Melbourne and one in either Brisbane/sunshine coast OR Sydney.

At this stage I am looking for expressions of interest and if you all
think you'd be interested in another Secours seminar? I am sure we could
get a great turn out in Melbourne but I'd just like to give people the
heads up and see what people reckon
