JÔDÔ Seminar May 7-8, 2011 at CERC in Jersey City.

On Saturday and Sunday May 7 and 8, at CERC 180 9th Street in Jersey City NJ, the JSS and the KenZen dôjo will be hosting a Jôdô seminar, led by Meik Skoss and Rick Polland. The Jôdô techniques will be from the All Japan Kendô Federation Seitei Jôdô.

As you may know, this year’s All United States Kendô Federation Iaidô seminar will include Jôdô practice for the first time. We offer this seminar to East Coast Iaidô, Kendô, Jôdô, Aikidô practitioners, and to those who would like an introduction to AJKF Jôdô.

This is an open Seminar which means you do not have to belong to the Kendô Federation to take it. The goal is to become as proficient as possible in two long days of training so that when the Japanese Sensei arrives from Japan in June we will be able to gain as much as possible from their instruction.

Cost: Both days $50 * Single day $30 *

If you are using a standard size AJKF jo, or a jo very close to it in size, please bring it. Please bring standard bokken, with tsuba and tsuba-dome. For beginners, there will be a very limited number of Jô to rent ($5 / day) and new Jô for sale.

If you have any questions or want to register, please contact John Prough ([email protected]) or Telephone 1 (201) 656-0117
