Special Sennin Foundation Workshop for Kids
On Saturday, May 19 the Sennin Foundation Center will present a special workshop for children. The workshop will take place at our dojo at 1053 San Pablo Ave. from 11:15 AM to 12:15 PM. It will feature instruction in Japanese yoga and Saigo Ryu tanto dori, which are Saigo Ryu knife disarming techniques. Students will learn coordination of mind and body, as well as calmness in action, by using a tanto (a wooden knife), which you can buy from us.
Both Japanese yoga and martial arts require ongoing repetition of fundamentals. Over many years of training, this repetition allows practitioners to develop remarkable levels of concentration, willpower, and perseverance. Young students, however, often initially have short attention spans, and boredom can set it when they study any serious discipline. Periodic special workshops featuring topics not covered in regular classes are one method we use to maintain enthusiasm among the children in our dojo. These workshops also allow us to go beyond what is covered in our regular classes. For this reason, they can be thought of as “extra credit” that frequently allows workshop participants to receive higher martial arts ranks more quickly.
