Hi Everyone: I wanted to send out a "save the date" to you all and invite you to share in a rare opportunity. Joe Thambu Sensei will be teaching a clinic in...
Hi Kevin, From an earlier email a few months back, there was mention that Thambu sensei will also be holding a seminar in the LA area. Is that still on the...
He taught in southern California in the mid 90's. It was great and he is an incredible person. Do yourselves a favour and learn from if you have the...
Yes, but I think that will be at a friend's dojo and I'm not sure if it's a Yoshinkan person or not. So it may be an Aikdio seminar for non-Aikidoka, again,...
All, I was allowed to read a letter came to my dojo recently from Honbu explaining that the IYAF has been closed and a new organization created. It looks like...
Osu! I have a copy, and now scanned a copy of the letter. While normally I don't mind sharing (I'm a big Boy Scout), the fact that the letter contains banking...
Spike, Are you saying that dojos that want to be affiliated with Honbu dojo must now purchase the rediculous expensive 3kyu and above certs in order to be...
"rediculous expensive 3kyu and above certs" At $10.00 approx each, these are expensive? Alan ________________________________________________________ Alan...
Alan, How much for shipping? How much does that raise the cost of an exam? How much time to send and receive? Does this also mean that my 1kyus will...
Hey.I can spell recession too! And every expense is an extra cost that hurts me/us too! That said, the new setup means that 5 certs at 50.00 USD (lets say) ...
Question re: certificates: are the certificates now required to be ordered from Hombu going to be like the spiffy ones that Shodans get? I certainly wouldn't...
Randy, Yes, you have to buy the kyu certs for 3rd kyu and up. But I don't think it is fair to say they are expensive. As Alan noted, with shipping they should...
Same material. Looks a little funny because of the English fill in the blanks..Would love to see this changed to a slightly better layout.. I belive there used...
If I felt attacked, you might be on the mats looking up at me by now! LOL.no just looking at the costs and analyzing how the come across. And I am also...
i care a whit about getting a certificate. i workd my whit off for it. You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and the stars; you have a...
Very whitty! Yes, Students are impressed with the certs they have for the work the have to do. Most are thrilled about getting the ones from Japan. Alan ...
I would so love to complain about $5/gallon gas while paying half of our taxes. Having said that, once in a while (very rarely) you will have a student...
I believe that most dojos only use hombu certs for 3rd kyu and up. This does keep costs down. And sending cash is cheaper without the $35.00 cheque fee. Heck,...
I don't run a dojo or anything, but if this is all about certificates then why abolish the IYAF and start a new organization? Certificates would seem to me to...
My understanding ( repeat.my.)from a meeting of Dojo-chos last year was that there was a financial break by combining the two Yoshinkan bodies into one, that...
I see. Doesn't sound like the average student outside Japan has much to worry about. Thank you very much for the explanation! Cheers, Ian ... was that ... ...
So the IYAF, the organization that was lauded by many as ushering in a new era of Yoshinkan, is done and a new organization has taken its place. Is no one...
The Seikeikan in Oakville/Burlington would also like to second this! Next year ... we'll take over all the sites! Kerry Nash ... [Non-text portions of this...
Ask your father. He should have a copy. From: yoshinkan@yahoogroups.com [mailto:yoshinkan@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of aikispike Sent: Wednesday, July 23,...
Spike: Let me see if I can scan a copy for you. If not, want me to fax it to you? To: yoshinkan@yahoogroups.com From: aikispike@... Date: Wed, 23 Jul...
