Internal Training, Aiki, and Empowering Aikido: July Workshop Registration Now Open
A series of workshops by Dan Harden focusing on internal power conditioning, Aiki, and Aikido applications. This is a continuing series of workshops sponsored by the Aikido Sangenkai held here in Hawaii since 2010.
Honolulu, HI, April 22, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Registration for the July 7th and 8th workshop on Oahu, and the July 14th and 15th workshop on the Big Island of Hawaii with Dan Harden is now open.
Dan Harden is making his research into the Japanese arts and the resultant training practices of his private dojo available on a national level. The goal is to offer a workshop in a neutral environment, with an emphasis on learning and understanding internal power and aiki as a basis for martial movement in a global sense, while undertaking the difficult task of taking that first step into personal training and integration of the concepts into your own art.
The workshops review and expand the principles of the system Dan has developed and taught successfully to hundreds of students and teachers from a wide range of martial arts. Dan will outline the training in such a way as to make the relevancy to martial movement immediate, clear and accessible. Included will be:
- A presentation of how the martial arts take advantage of natural and common postural failures and methods for building a martial body that moves antithetical to the principles most martial arts use as their foundation for defeating the common body frame.
- How the trained body can begin to take care of itself automatically in a live environment.
- An emphasis on specific training tools (solo and paired) to develop internal power, and specifically how it relates to aiki connections in a martial context.
- Creating and maintaining a structure supported on all sides and how to strengthen it with breath training exercises.
The material covered; while benefiting aikido greatly will not be "specific" to just the aiki arts like Aikido and Daito ryu, but any grappling or striking art, so teachers from other disciplines are welcome.
These are closed workshops with no pictures, video, or visitors allowed. Participants are required to fill out an application to be considered for a spot. People may or may not be accepted by Dan Harden's sole discretion. Preference will be given to those who have attended previous workshops.
