The Traditional Martial Arts Society

It felt like a long morning, but we got 2 new fourth kyus for the dojo. Congratulations, you two! Good job, everyone, helping these two make it there. They say it takes a village (sangha) You’ll do .

If you missed today you missed putting it together: San boubisuru (square cross) gonosen seiken, sankyo, sumi otoshi against roundhouse punch San boubisuru, sensenonsen seiken, kokyu nage against straight punch San boubisuru, ikkyo, sumi otoshi against hammer first

Iriminage is truly about being in the right place at the right time, then existing with solid determination as force of nature, like a mountain, or a tidal wave. I find that the reason people have trouble with this technique is they focus on the placement of their body’s condition and not the condition of their body’s placement.

So what did you miss on Saturday? Iriminage 1-4 Ikkyo 5-8 Sankyo 5-8... Who has a photo of themselves doing any of these? We’re ready to take pictures starting Tuesday.

Classes at the dojo will be cancelled Today, December 1. Classes will be available online on Zoom. Address was sent out through email. If you did not receive, contact Sensei White directly.

I had a great time with these little gremlins today at TMAS Kick or Treat. The Frankenstein sit-ups were okay, but liked doing the time warp dance the best. Happy Halloween!!

October Aiki Jujutsu techniques with Sensei White: Shihonage, <4 corner throw> Do Keiraku, ... Koshinage Which one is this?

ADULT STUDENTS: Right now the time between classes is an important safety strategy. We do not want multiple classes in the changing rooms, mats or sitting area. This limits the space between individuals and increases risk of exposure to disease. Please allow time for the youth and families to exit the school before coming in. Please do not come into the dojo until 15 minutes before your class. Make arrangements with the senseika if you are trying to come in early for persona...l practice. Stay safe!

Thursday techniques: Tenchin hiraken gyaku hiraken Marui tenchin geri Sensen no sen seiken 1&2 Sensen no sen seiken 1&2 kotegaeshi ... Double finger grab escape, kotegaeshi Rear double arm grab escape, kotegaeshi Looking forward to Saturday! Practice before then.

Silence is golden: It makes the lesson vivid Deafening. Boom! Crunch!
