There will not be a session this Friday.
During the week we will be training as usual, emphasizing Gyokko Ryu techniques and dakken, Sutemi waza and studying a new Takagi Kata.

Form your letters slowly and well:
making things well
is more important than making them.

We will not have a Friday seminar, or lesson, this week, because of the Tel Aviv Marathon. I wish good luck to participating AKBAN runners.

During the week we will work on 5 basic approaches against multiple opponents.

This morning, when I woke up, the windows were covered in frost.
But I radiated memory of my good dream.
The wood-stove too purred with joy and spread warmth
From the log that made his night so pleasant.

Because of the approaching snow storm we are rescheduling Amir Haimi BJJ seminar to next week.
The Bjj seminar will take place at February the 26th at 6 PM and at February the 27th at 08:00 AM.

Regular dojo practice as usual at Tel Aviv dojo at 18:00 Thursday. No training at Friday.
Stay warm.

Being a well rounded fighter is a priority for the first 10 years in AKBAN academy.

This Thursday, 19.2.2015, 18:00 and at Friday, 20.2.2015, 08:00, we will have a BJJ seminar with Amir Haimi Sensei. Amir is an AKBAN Sandan and an Alan Moraes (Rio) BJJ black belt.
Amir will teach, in two concentrated days, BJJ techniques aimed at improving our Ninjutsu randori level. The price for one part of the seminar is 90 NIS and for the two parts we have a special AKBAN members price of 120 NIS. Here’s a link to the FB event page

At Saturday, 21.2.2015, we will have a special outdoor skills seminar with Yoni Ben For, an AKBAN Shodan and a specialist in outdoor survival and plant based medicine. (link to the FB event page)

At the week before the seminars, on the regular schedule, we will work on one kata of Fudo Ryu. At the Combat kata groups we will concentrate on two Kukishinden Ryu kata.

These are the roots of the teacher’s work:
Kata, Randori and Mondo.

Kata is the seal of order.
Randori is the meeting place of chaos and order.
Mondo is needed to explain to the thinking part what is happening in the doing part.

These roots must be watered by constant respect, respect for others, respect for the insights and respect for one’s own constituents.

This week we will not have an ECR session.

At the groups we will continue practicing three subjects: Entering in 4.3 combo, preparing for Amir Haimi Sensei ground fighting seminar (event page) and combining killer kicks.

At the combat kata groups we will repeat the kata we learned last week.
