🌊 SUNDAY / 31 JANUARY 2021

'The highest form of research is essentially play. Einstein is quoted as saying, “The desire to arrive finally at logically connected concepts is the emotional basis of a vague play with basic ideas. This combinatory or associative play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought” '

- "Play is Education” by N. V. Scarfe

Join us for this Sunday Workshop as we explore a curious and playful approach to training. We will develop soft skills, intuitive body movement and a creative approach to problem solving. This has a dramatic affect on our ability to make new distinctions and connections within the system, and serve as an acid test for our current technical skill level. The aim is not to break or ‘go beyond’ forms, but to learn how to play within and without them…

The training will weave in and out of the Takemusu Aikido Bukiwaza and Taijutsu systems - bring a bokken, jo and tanto!
