Dutch Budo Seminar
On the Thursday 10th June, we (John, Alex and Duane) arrived in Den Helder, Netherlands, for an international Budo seminar.
This seminar started on Friday, 11th June with boxing for two hours. After this session Chief Instructor John did a Dim Mak session for two hours. This part was well attended.
On Saturday, the day started with Kobudo, given by John. In this lesson a magazine was introduced as a weapon. Everyone agreed that this session was an eye opener with what you can achieve in defending yourself with a magazine (ask Alex about this).
Other martial arts taught during the Saturday were kickboxing, Judo and again Dim Mak by John.
This whole weekend the seminar took place at a camping so there were a lot of spectators.
On the Sunday, beside Krav Maga and some other martial arts, John taught Aiki Jujitsu.
The weekend finished with a BBQ.
It was a very good weekend and John has already been invited for next year.
At the same time John has been asked to do a Dim Mak basic course in Holland, which probably will take place in September this year.
Germany May 2010
On Thursday 27th May, Chief Instructor John travelled to Hohenlockstedt in Germany, to attend an International Budo Seminar, organised by Norbert Domros of Shitaya Sportschule.
Besides John, there were instructors from Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, UK, Switzerland and Germany.
The seminar started Friday night with a gala. During this gala, Norbert was awarded his 10th Dan in Ju Jitsu.
It was a well attended two day weekend seminar. Martial arts taught during this weekend were different styles of Ju Jitsu, Kenpo, Aiki Jujitsu, Aikido and Dim Mak. The last three were taught by John.
During the seminar, there were 5 tatami’s. The instructors taught for an hour and then moved on to the next tatami.
On the Saturday night, after Saturday’s seminar, a Budo show was organised for the local community. This was also well attended.
Every instructor or group showed different techniques. John demonstrated a combination of Dim Mak and Aiki Jujitsu. The show was a success and at the end all instructors received a standing ovation.
On the Sunday John demonstrated defences with a magazine, combined with Dim Mak.
After the seminar John was told by the black belts of the different martial arts that this was a painful but definitely the highlight of this weekends seminar.
John has been invited back for the autumn seminar in October later this year.
If you are interested to accompany John to Germany, let John know well in advance.
