NorthWest Shintaido Exchange – Bojutsu/Jojutsu Workshop with Ito Sensei

August 21, 2004

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every day that begins at 12:00 am, repeating until August 22, 2004

The workshop will be in two parts.

Saturday afternoon we will practice yon-hon kumibo, with particular emphasis on flowing with our partners and improving the kumibo connection. This keiko is limited to Shintaido practitioners ranking eighth kyu or higher.

On Sunday there will be a two-part keiko with jo (monk’s walking stick), where Ito-sensei will help us to integrate flowing Shintaido movement not just into our bodies but into our lives as well. Based on the Shintaido principle “Your body is a message of the universe,” we will use the jo to unify heaven and earth, others and self.

The focus on flowing movement makes this one-day workshop accessible to everyone, and of special interest to those working in related disciplines such as tai chi, aikido, and dance. No previous experience is necessary for the Sunday keiko, but the morning keiko is required in order to take the afternoon keiko.
