Por supuesto recordar que la entrada es GRATUITA

Tal y como se aprecia en las fotos nos vimos desbordados por la gran acogida que tuvo el taller de SHODO del pasado sabado por la mañana, y solo nos queda desde estas lineas agradecer el esfuerzo de todos, asi como anunciaros la continuidad de los mismos en proximos dias.

Ya por la tarde celebramos con igual exito de publico la conferencia “Japon el camino interior“, por Antonio Avila, asi como el taller de Kobudo y Karate-do con el que nos obsequiaron el sensei Luis Nunes y sus alumnos, que junto con las explicaciones que nos iban dando, hicierón que sintieramos mas cerca este milenario arte.

Con estas imagenes quedamos citados para la tercera jornada de las “I Jornadas Otoño 2009” que se va a celebrar también en las instalaciones de la Urbanización “Reserva del Higuerón” en Benalmadena el proximo dia 31 de octubre sabado con un taller practico de Karate “Karate no undo” por la mañana, al que estais todos invitados, y que os sugerimos vengais con ropa comoda para que nos acompañeis (no hace falta que conozcais el karate ni un estado fisico atletico).

Posteriormente, ya por la tarde, se impartirá una conferencia sobre “El Jardin japonés“, por Juan Vallejo, que creo os gustará (estamos trabajando para poder ofreceros alguna bonita sorpresa).

Os esperamos.

I passed my kiiro-obi grading some two weeks ago, and just yesterday was presented with my prize! With the new rank comes a size-up of my belt length, and the trailing tails were difficult to get used to. But oh man, is it ever a power trip! I’m also very thankful for the mellow colour, as the majority of yellow-belts in my dojo have stop-traffic-neon-yellow.

My study of jujitsu has helped me greatly in the writing of TETHERED ROMANCE, and you wouldn’t believe how – in a novel that’s centered around a male geisha in Tokugawa era Japan. I’ve had to choreograph many a fight scene for my samurai in training Seishin, and knowing I can act it out first by doing one of my jujitsu katas has been quite the experience. I’ve often heard it said, “Writers are just shy actors”, and it’s very true considering that I act out most of what I write while no one is looking.

Happy Canada day to my fellow Canadians! Three days late but better late than not at all. I was celebrating in the rain with some friends, and in the evening caught a show at the Planetarium. What an experience! I was really amazed by the show, it was so fascinating. Space, stars. planets – how mind boggling. It presented me with an excellent foundation of research for my up-and-coming novel  A KILL FEE.

A aula de Karatê-dô foi uma das novidades oferecidas aos alunos na grade do Período Ampliado. A arte marcial originária das técnicas de defesa sem armas de Okinawa e que tem como base filosófica o Bushido japonês está fazendo o maior sucesso com a turma. 

O Karatê-dô, além de ser uma modalidade de arte marcial que ensina a se defender, também é utilizado para buscar a formação do caráter dos praticantes e o aprimoramento de suas personalidades. “O Karatê-dô não é somente uma mera aquisição de técnicas e habilidades defensivas, mas sim a busca pelo domínio da arte de ser um cidadão, um membro da sociedade bom e honesto, íntegro, humilde e possuidor de autocontrole”, explica Roberto Trindade, coordenador de Núcleo de Esportes do Friburgo.

Ao final deste primeiro semestre nossa satisfação foi colher como resultado o empenho de cada aluno na sua busca pelo respeito, paciência, responsabilidade, sociabilidade e justiça.

Realizar-se-á de 22 a 26 de Julho mais um Estágio Internacional de Verão dirigido pelo Mestre Georges Stobbaerts. O estágio conta este ano com as disciplinas de Aikido, Buki waza e Karate-do. Para mais informações, consulte por favor o cartaz ou o site da Associação TenChi Internacional.
