Hatsumi Soke with the Shindenfudo-ryu Sword in STHLM 1998
We updated the web site with a new video of Steve Olsen who will be one of the four Shihan teaching at the Sweden Tai Kai in September.
We have the venue booked now. We wanted the bigger venue, but it was fully booked. But we booked another gym hall we used many times before (same place where most of the Kaigousuru Taikai in the past was). The address is…
Lilla Alby Skola, Humblegatan 19-21, Sundbyberg, Stockholm, Sweden.
Apparently Hatsumi Soke started teaching Shindenfudo-ryu Iai, as a second theme for this year in May. In 1998 Hatsumi Soke taught Shindenfudo-ryu taijutsu and sword, you might want to check out the videos from 1998 to see how Soke used this big sword. However, he might teach with a different sword now (I don’t know). However there is still three more months for the guys in Japan to figure it out. I’m sure the Taikai will be interesting for everyone attending, I hope you can make it.
The sign-up form will be available later in July.
On the Facebook event page we can see that there is 51 attending, 118 maybes, and 776 people who hasn’t made up their minds yet. This is interesting for us to see, but from experience we can’t trust this system. People have confirmed before and never showed up, it is to easy to just say yes without meaning it. The only way to confirm your place is through our sign-up form that will be up later in July.
We also updated the Information page, please read it before sending us questions!
Edit: I also added a new video with Duncan Stewart.

Happy training!

2011 Seminars
Posted February 27, 2011
By RobRenner
Developing the “Counter Intuition” of Kihon Happo
As Hatsumi Sensei often says:
“You cannot truly understand a technique until you understand its counter!”
With this in mind, I will be showing the progression from co-operation to resistance,
looking at how uke and tori would “counter” each move,
then show how to use that counter to your benefit,
allowing you todevelop your own “intuition” of the proper movement needed for any given moment.
(This methodology can be used for any technique,
but we will be focusing on Kihon Happo in conjunction with Soke’s chosen theme for this year.)
I will introduce the “shiho dori” (4 ways of taking) concept
for developing a full range of options to internalize the principles of kihon happo.
The seminar will focus on the bio-mechanics of budo taijutsu,
showing the developmental progression from beginner to advanced,
utilizing lots of fun scenarios and drills for all to remember!
