Training is through kata, which are pre-arranged sequences of stimuli-response pairs designed to build habitual responses to different scenarios.In this introductory course, students will learn the first 4 kihon (fundamentals) exercises and several kata from the Omote set.Some of the common appeals to studying Shinto Muso Ryu include:The goal of learning combat with feudal era weapons is a stimulating physical, mental and intellectual challenge.Training in a 400 year old tradition is a novel means of learning and experiencing Japanese culture.Weapons can be an appealing focus of study due to their being an equalizer over strength and size.No prior martial arts experience is necessary. Training weapons will be provided.This 8 session introductory course will run on Tuesdays from 6pm to 8pm, at the Unity Lutheran Church.Jan. 20, 27Feb. 3, 10, 17, 24Mar. 3, 10For more information, see Chicagojodokai.org or contact Dan Meyer at dzmeyer@gmail.com.
