Seibukan Training Day. Saturday June 26th.
Well we’re closing in on the weekend here at Ocala Karate & Fitness and what a great week we had in class. I’d like to start out by saying that I am really starting to see “real” progress in all of our classes. Everyone’s hard work and time on the floor is starting to show. No one outside of class realizes “Exactly” what it takes to do what we do here at Ocala Karate & Fitness. www.ocalashinbukan.com
The amount of energy, time, focus, and dedication to really absorb this stuff is tremendous. I think that has a lot to do with all the overall benefits that practitioners here begin to feel. After all, the Okinawans’ designed this art to produce healthier people, not only physically, but from a total aspect.
Staying Healthy
You see it was their intention to maintain a “Healthy” society in whole. Not just to produce some healthy individuals. By getting everyone involved and on a training regiment that promoted healthy bodies, minds, and attitudes, they would be a great society that would be respected by everyone else in the world. That is what we train for here at Ocala Karate and Fitness.
Having said that, I would like to invite EVERYONE to attend our first “OFFICIAL” Seibukan Training Day on Saturday, June 26th 2010. This training event will be hosted by Sensei Dan Smith, 9th Degree Black Belt in Seibukan Shorin Ryu Karate.
Seibukan Shorin Ryu Karate
This is a very special event and everyone should try to attend. Sensei Smith is only 1 of 2 foreigners to EVER be promoted to the rank of 9th dan on Okinawa Japan. He has trained with Zenpo Shimabukuro 10th dan and president of the Seibukan, for over 40 years, and actually started his training on Okinawan with Zenpo Sensei’s Father, Zenryo Shimabukuro, Founder of the Seibukan.
All participants will be able to have their passport books signed and stamped after training to document this special event. This is just the first of many special guests that will become available for Members here at Ocala Karate & Fitness to experience.
Also, the website membership should become available by the end of the weekend, so be on watch for link to the website. Another HUGE step forward here at the Dojo. This website will be a very valuable tool to all that are serious in their training.
I would also like to thank everyone in our Ryukyu Kobudo Class for putting in the extra time and effort in our weapons class. This class is incredibly difficult and takes “Patience” You guys are doing great. It makes me smile to see to the class growing. Slowly, but slow is good. Especially when the quality stays high.
"Looking For A REAL Challenge?"
Hope everyone had as good a week as I did, and look forward to seeing everyone tonight.
