In this workshop, James will be sharing insights on this year's theme of Tsunagari,
“connection," and Nawa no Kukan, to assist participants in defining ownership of their Taijutsu, specifically in areas of core principles and self sufficiency.
James' training philosophy replaces static, repetitive imitation of techniques with a direct connection to the ebb and flow of martial principles that are in constant flux. This focus results in efficient and contextual understanding of the art's intent, fostering the continuous creative adaptability necessary for students to claim ownership of their training to 'be good today' instead of always training 'to become good.'
Tomoko Horikawa will again lead morning and afternoon sessions of Makko Ho, a
Japanese stretching art, focusing on Hara Kokyuho, abdominal breathing, and Hodo
Taiso, supplemental massage techniques using Taijutsu to improve the circulation and
well being of another. Makko Ho has only four poses (similar to the Ryutai Undo of
Junan Taiso) and concentrates on core strength of the Kosshi, lower back, and Tanden, lower abdomen, through breathing and bowing movements. Tomoko is one of only three licensed instructors in the United States.
