Keichu Training Weekend

Mark your calendars now for October 21-22, 2005. You will not want to miss the exciting Keichu Training Weekend to be held that weekend at Soke's dojo. Sensei Danny Gilliland will be coming all the way from Louisiana to offer us his expertise in koboudo and karate. He holds a 6th dan in Keichu Ryu and a nidan in both Motobu Ryu Udun Ti and Okinawan Kenpo Kobudo.

Sensei Gilliland is a dynamic, effective, and motivating instructor. In addition to three different weapons sessions (where he will cover bo, eiku, tunfa, and sai) he will teach a session on the importance of kata in self-defense training.

Normally we do not begin weapons training at Five Cities Keichu-Do below orange belt level. However, this training opportunity is so valuable --- and so much fun! --- that we don't want our yellow belts to miss out.

More information will be handed out in class, or you can download a flyer and application form.

Many of you have heard my stories and Sempai's stories about the great time we had training at Rapides Karate, and how we wish we could take many of you there. This will be the next best thing. Don't miss out on the opportunity of training under one of the best instructors in Keichu!
