One week to go – information galore!

From Sweden Taikai 2012 by alexander

Dear all, we’re at one week and counting down! Here’s the latest batch of information:

 

Staying in the Kampsportcentred Dojo Friday night:
There will be plenty of people staying at Kampsportcentret during both the night between Friday and Saturday, as well as Saturday and Sunday. Just keep in mind not to leave any valuables there, since there are lots of other people outside the Bujinkan who have access to the premises.

Friday pretraining:
You’re welcome to join the pretraining on Friday (5/10) evening, between 7 p.m and about 9 p.m. We’ll keep it casual and anyone who wants to share something are welcome to teach. It will be a nice time to meet up and get to know each other a little and get some insight into what we train in different Dojo’s.

Transportation: 
Bus: Take bus nr 2 from Trädgårdstorget (or any other bus stop on the way that fits better for you) and get of at Kompanigatan. (The trip takes about 10 minutes.) You’ll have to buy your ticket in advance as the driver will NOT accept cash! At Trädgårdstorget there is a green machine called a quickomat where you can pay with all the major bank and credit cards. You can also buy an SMS ticket: send an SMS with the text: LV to 72 365 and you’ll have the ticket sent to you.
When you get of the bus the entrance is right in front of you.

Car: Parking lots are available in the square in front of the building where we are training. It cost’s 40 kronor/day or 5 kronor/hour and you can pay with card or coins.
To get to the entrance, just walk around the building.

Eating:
There are a couple of places around the area where you can get a decent lunch. On Saturday, when the lunch break is a little longer there’s enough time to walk down into central Linköping to get a bite if you want to. There’s also a a couple of convenience stores some 10 min walk from the venue.
We’ll have maps at the venue, and you can also have a look at the map below or at the information page to have an idea beforehand.

We will not arrange a Saturday eventing dinner for everyone, but feel free to ask for suggestions of where to eat before or during the Tai Kai. There’s no lack of nice restaurants in all price ranges in Linköping.

We will be selling some drinks and light snacks during Saturday and Sunday, but no regular food. The tap water is safe and good to drink, so we suggest you enjoy that as your training drink.

Store:
The instructors will be selling some of their own material during the training days. Keep a look out and talk to anyone of us in the staff (red/maoon shirts) or the instructor selling the material if you want to buy something.

TAIJUTSU & FELDENKRAIS with DORON NAVON

From Budoshop by BUDOSHOP.SE

52 minutes, 354 Mb for $14.99

Also available on VideoCD

Doron Navon from Israel started training with Hatsumi Sensei in 1968 long before the “ninja-boom”. While in Japan he was also introduced to the Feldenkrais method by the Israeli physicist Moshe Feldenkrais who was an accomplished Martial Artist that came to Japan for a shorter visit. When Doron came back home to Israel in 1974 he deepened his knowledge in the Feldenkrais method directly under Dr Moshe Feldenkrais.

Doron says that the Feldenkrais method is a shortcut to the godan test. This has been confirmed by both Hatsumi Sensei and many other who have studied Taijutsu and Feldenkrais.

This video was recorded in 1994 in Stockholm. It was originally released on VHS and then later as a VCD / Video CD in 2003 by BUDOSHOP.SE hence the quality is VCD PAL (352×288), playing time is 52 minutes. It has been remastered and converted so that it plays nice on iPod, iPad, iPhone, PC, Mac, or any other device that can play standard h.264 videos. It is not DVD quality!

News update, June 29′th

From Sweden Taikai 2011 by Sweden Taikai 2011

Hatsumi Soke with Shindenfudo-ryu Sword in STHLM 1998

Hatsumi Soke with the Shindenfudo-ryu Sword in STHLM 1998

We updated the web site with a new video of Steve Olsen who will be one of the four Shihan teaching at the Sweden Tai Kai in September.

We have the venue booked now. We wanted the bigger venue, but it was fully booked. But we booked another gym hall we used many times before (same place where most of the Kaigousuru Taikai in the past was). The address is…
Lilla Alby Skola, Humblegatan 19-21, Sundbyberg, Stockholm, Sweden.

Apparently Hatsumi Soke started teaching Shindenfudo-ryu Iai, as a second theme for this year in May. In 1998 Hatsumi Soke taught Shindenfudo-ryu taijutsu and sword, you might want to check out the videos from 1998 to see how Soke used this big sword. However, he might teach with a different sword now (I don’t know). However there is still three more months for the guys in Japan to figure it out. I’m sure the Taikai will be interesting for everyone attending, I hope you can make it.

The sign-up form will be available later in July.

On the Facebook event page we can see that there is 51 attending, 118 maybes, and 776 people who hasn’t made up their minds yet. This is interesting for us to see, but from experience we can’t trust this system. People have confirmed before and never showed up, it is to easy to just say yes without meaning it. The only way to confirm your place is through our sign-up form that will be up later in July.

We also updated the Information page, please read it before sending us questions!

Edit: I also added a new video with Duncan Stewart.
