AWMAI P.O. Box 6284 Norfolk, VA 23508 www.awmai.org PRESENTERS & SESSIONS at the 2012 AWMAI CONFERENCE Key L – Lecture/Discussion MC – Moving Classroom combining lecture & movement application WO – Master Class Workout MWO – One hour early morning Workout Grand Master Graciela Casillas- Spontaneous Knife Defense (WO) This seminar will address how to use an edged weapon as an equalizer against an assault where disparity of force is present. Empty handed, street proven defensive tactics effective against an armed assailant will be covered. Shihan Barbara Christensen – Teaching Non-Traditional Learners (MC) The purpose of this class is to share information about teaching “non traditional” learners. Since martial arts are known for discipline and focus, many parents bring children who have difficulty in school to our classes. I will draw from personal experience with family members with learning disabilities as well as my teaching experience with students with ADD, ADHD, different learning styles, and general “non standard” behaviors. I will present some statistics and some of the relevant rules that govern special education in public schools. Sifu Barbara Feldman – Health Nurturing Qigong (WO) The Health Nurturing Form uses the traditional qigong principles of relaxation, controlled breathing, rooting to the ground, upright posture, and concentration to stimulate the meridians. Taking less than 10 minutes, this eight-move form, performed slowly on both sides, has flowing movements and is easily adapted to physi- cal limitations. It was developed by Professor Zhang Guan De at the Beijing Sports University as part of his DaoYin YangZhen Gong system (the way to pull in to feed the body exercises). DaoYin YangSheng Gong (DYSSG) is recognized in China by the Sports Department, the Wushu Federation, and the Health Depart- ment. DYYSG is taught officially in Sports Universities and in Traditional Chinese Medecine Universities. All of the exercises in this system enhance the flow of blood and energy, thus increasing flexibility and good physical and mental condition. Shihan Denise Gonzales – Chokes & Arm Bars (MC) The focus of this class will be on proper implementation of chokes and arm bars. Arm bars will be dem- onstrated and practiced for effective use of full‐body leverage in order to initiate and secure a lock on the targeted arm, while preventing the opponent from escaping the lock from positions such as the mount, side control, or guard. Various effective chokeholds will be demonstrated and practiced using very slight tech- niques of pressure rather than physical strength. These techniques will be shown with and without the use of a gi. Finally, I will address all the important safety issues that instructors must take into consideration when teaching these techniques. Kyoshi Zosia Gorbaty & Professor Janice Okamoto – Self Defense in Confined Spaces (WO) For most of us the majority of our training takes place in our indoor dojos/dojangs/kwoons or outdoors in wide-open spaces. This is great for practicing forms, high kicks, throws, bo staff training, or the like. However in many real life situations the assault will occur in a small, confined area. What if you need to defend your- self in the stall of a public bathroom, an elevator, a vestibule, or the like? In this class we will offer a variety of techniques and concepts from our respective points of view. Shifu/Sensei Kore’ Grate- Generational Styles of Learning (L) We are all in a generation that is deeply influenced by the events of life manifesting a certain way we like to learn any new subject. In this discussion we will review and understand the differences in learning styles of people born in these identified generations as applied to teaching martial arts/self defense. It’s especially great to be able to understand all the way from the Veteran (1920-1943), Silent Generation (1926-1943) to the Gen X & Y generations of now and how they all absorb information. Sifu Kimberly Ivy – Practical Qigong (WO) This session will introduce the Yi Jin Jing Xi Sui Jing (Muscle Tendon Changing and Bone Marrow Washing Qigong). The form is a straightforward method for gently stretching & balancing the muscles and tendons of the body and removing stagnation in the bone marrow. In a short period of time a practitioner of any age, fitness or skill level will feel more open and have greater Qi and blood flow throughout the entire body, -es pecially to injured areas and areas of chronic tension. The form is also an excellent tool to enhance mindful- ness and one’s meditative capacities. The Yi Jin Jing can easily be integrated into class warm-up routines or shared with students who are on break due to injury or illness to keep them safely moving. The session will include an introduction to the basic theory of Qigong and of this specific method as well as instruction in several of the most useful movements for the martial athlete. Sifu Debbie Leung – Push Hands Across Styles (WO) Being among such accomplished women martial artists, training together, and learning from each other will generate great energy. Lets see how it moves us! Feel that energy in our bodies, feel it as we touch in with each other, let that energy flow to and from our selves and others and follow it to discovery and insight. Liangong Early Morning Workout (MWO) -Liangong is a qigong exercise that warms up the body from head to toe, improves range of motion, and develops proper alignment for qi flow and pain reduction, while increasing balance and core strength. An energizing exercise, it is often used to start the day. Master Arlene Limas – Becoming a Good Fighter: Finding Your Strengths (WO) This class will address drills, movement, kicking, and conditioning to improve your fighting skills. Master Kathy Long – Muay Thai Counter Drills (WO) Instructors, one of the best ways to sharpen your students’ skills is through drills. In this class you will learn counter drills used by World Champions in many sports. Equipment required: Boxing gloves, mouthpiece, shin guards groin protector and an open mind. For those of you who wish to take it a bit lighter, regular hand chops and foam shin guards will be acceptable. Sifu Jen Resnick - Martial Arts Medicine: Battlefield Medicine for Trainers (MC) Training for the martial arts instructor traditionally includes learning basic first aid for the training floor. Internal Chinese martial arts, in particular, have a sophisticated array of healing tools to draw from. Participants will learn how to use poultices, liniments and gaos to treat common martial arts injuries, from a jammed finger to a sprained ankle or broken rib. They will also learn and practice revival techniques for knockout blows and a martial arts “tune up” for competition events.

Many to this day are not in existence anymore and those that are, are balancing on a thin wire. While those that claim to be organizations of integrity, time and time again, they fall by the way side to the one and only World Head of Family Sokeship Council. Why? This organization sterms from a humble beginning when it was founded in 1992 by the internationally known and respected grandmaster of San-Jitsu, Frank E. Sanchez. It has the greatest collection of prominent and elite practitioners of the martial arts. All members are screened, investigated and grilled for authenticity and the greatest asset emerges are the caliber of its members. Every year they have an annual “Gathering of the Eagles” where over 250 Grandmasters meet in Orlando, Florida to promote the growth of the martial arts.

    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Kickboxing - Overview Kickboxing is a sport where two boxers fight in the ring. The game in itself is a self- disciplinary event that teaches patience and self-defence. This tutorial will help you in learning the protocols of the game in all dimensions. Though it is a form of physical sport that involves punches and strikes, but has its own limitations and rules. The players need to hit each other with legal strikes to earn points. Sometimes they try to knockdown each other too. The player having the maximum points at the end of the game is declared as the winner. This game is played by both men and women. History It is a form of martial art that is believed to be originated from Thailand. One of the ancient armies popularly known as Muay Boran of Siamese soldiersused to practise this as an act of self-defence. Since its inception from year 1238 to the period of king Chulalongkorn’s ascendance into the throne of Thailand, the game went through many phases and got equally popular too. In the earlier days, there was no protective equipment that was used, but very soon king Chulalongkorn made the use of equipment like gloves and other protective gears compulsory. This game was modified a bit by Osamu Noguchi in the form of Muay.
