From Bujinkan Zeropoint Dojo by RobRenner

I will be starting the 2nd round of seminars in September.

The theme for this 2nd  round of seminars will continue to be:

“Chuuto Hanpa Taijutsu” or “Incomplete Taijutsu”

We will be focusing on how to use incomplete movements to control your opponents reactions with emphasis on:

*Incomplete Distancing

*Incomplete Timing

Incomplete Kihon Happo

We will also cover:

- One-handed Taijutsu

- Boxing, Wrestling, and street-style attacks

- Multiple Attacker Methodology

and much more…

Of course we will be covering many special drills and exercises you can use to rapidly improve your own personal practice of taijutsu.

Brooks Martial Art Center

Contact: Tony Brooks

Tony Brooks, and everyone who came, as the first stop on this seminar tour, really helped kick it off right. I could see definite improvement from many of the people who have been coming to this event over the last few years, thus reconfirming my decision to travel and share Soke’s art to the best of my ability.

Special Foundational Workshops – Night Classes

Manaus, Brazil

Contact: John Holladay

Its always cool when you get to see your friends after a long time, especially when, after training with you in the past, they have continued improving and taking positions of leadership themselves. John has a really great, close-knit group there in Manaus. He has done a good job of teaching the foundations of Budo. This can be especially challenging when you are teaching at a military facility as John does!

Thanks for the hospitality John, I am looking forward to the next time…

March 6 and 7:

TAIKAI Brasil 2010

Joao Pessoa, Brazil

Contact: Simao Freitas

Wow! What can I say?! This taikai was awesome. So many obviously dedicated people, traveling for thousands of kilometers to train for nearly a week! The venue was super cool, with the beach nearby and great weather the whole time.

Do to the great distance and cost of traveling to Japan, it is very difficult for many Bujinkan members to get to Japan, so when they got a taste of some of the feeling from Japan, they were thrilled. And for me, when I saw the look of surprise and then later understanding on their faces, that was truly the highlight of my time there!

I have no doubt those groups from all over Brazil will begin making huge strides in the direction they want to go. I am already thinking about next year!
