GASSHUKU IS GO!

On Saturday and Sunday, November 1st and 2nd, 2008, I’ll be hosting our annual Bujinkan Shingitai-Ichi Fall Gasshuku, at Edwards YMCA Camp in East Troy, Wisconsin, http://www.campedwards.org/ about an hour and a half outside Chicago. I’ll be assisted by a variety of instructors and a full plate of subject matter:

Taijutsu
Outdoor survival skills
Escape from capture
Stealth and evasion
Team movement
Night training
Night Games
Makko Ho Japanese stretching
Climbing wall and grapple

Camp Edwards is 132 acres of marshlands, pine forests, prairies, and wooded dells, all with easy trail access. We’ll be staying at the Runge Lodge, which has a sunken fireplace, cathedral ceiling and loft balcony just like an old-fashioned ski resort. The lodge sleeps 32 people - six rooms with shared bathrooms and two rooms with private bathrooms, and offers three separate meeting areas, a snack kitchen, an outdoor deck, TV/VCR, a fireplace and even a piano.

We’ll enjoy family style meals in the cafeteria for dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday including a fresh vegetable salad bar, soups, hot and cold foods, and desserts. Coffee and tea will be available all day long in the main lodge.

Registration is $100.00 and includes lodging, meals, and training. For Shidoshi interested in attending, please contact me.

This is a preliminary announcement, specific information will be forthcoming. Save the date and start packing, a gear list will follow soon.
