New Year..

Looking forward to starting off the new classes for both kids and adults. The themes for children this session will likely be opening up the senses, jumping techniques, and balance training. For adults I will continue exploring the principles of maai(skillful use of distance), tai sabaaki(ways of moving the body to avoid danger), kuzushi(breaking and maintaining balance) and shirabe(awareness) through jojutsu(the art of using a walking stick for self defense and healing). The rainy weather also inspires me to work more on rooting especially on wet slippery ground. The use of fog for cover, might also come up. For my own training ive been working a lot on yang style taichi and of course continuing the game of rewilding through the arts of tracking and survival.
