Sunday 23rd August 2009, from 1pm to 6pm. A one day seminar in the Russian martial art Systema, developed by the Russian Special Forces Spetsnaz, takes place in the United Reform Church Hall, Hollinshead St, Chorley, Lancashire.

The seminar is introduced by Sensei Nick Di-paola, Principal and Chief Instructor of the European Russian martial Arts association.

Systema has some similarities to aikido, in particular its use of a harmonising approach. Video of the martial art can be found on YouTube for those interested.

Beach Practise at St Annes 12:00. Saturday 29th August

Course organiser Graham Harrison

Usual emphasis on Weapons so bring Jo and bokken.

This is a free practice outdoors in a good location experiencing Aikido without the usual mat, acoustics, light and surface underfoot.
The session usually finishes with some weapons in the sea and/or a little
meditation. As the practice is on the beach it is ideal for families and pets , and maybe a picnic!
