Livermore Alert-Our Upcoming National Jujitsu Convention For Everyone

YA GOTTA GO to our upcoming National Jujitsu Convention.  It’s the first weekend in March, the 5th and 6th.  Our convention is both a social and cultural exchange where juniors and adults alike will meet new friends from all over the globe.

We have fun and exciting classes for women, men and children focusing on fitness, stress releif and of course, the Martial Arts.  There is a nice social experience as well.  We are like a great big family.  And for your children we have a special Character Improvement program that our parents rave about.

We have a beautiful location right in the heart of downtown livermore. One of the first things you notice is that it smells nice instead of like the inside of a locker room. Inside we have an indoor rock wall, climbing ropes, tons of gymnastic equipment all on a safe matted area.  Our children love the before and after class open gym time to play.  Parents like the workout the children get.

Right now you have an interest in our classes, either for yourself or your children.  But we don’t know anything about each other.  That is why we need to meet at our Discovery Day.

And our instructors have the college equivilent of Masters degrees in the martial arts.  The head instructor has 30+ years of Martial Arts Training and coaching.

For more info please visit http://www.bestfreekarate.com/archives/608.  After that get the registration form from Sensei John or go online to AJJF.org for the online registration form.

There will be lots of surprises there as well..

Goshinryu Jujitsu $23.86 In the society of today, the potential of encountering a violent situation increases daily. Violence is all over the news be it car jacking, robberies or terrorist acts. People need to learn self-defense techniques that actually work. Goshinryu Jujitsu may be just what the doctor ordered, no fancy techniques that are difficult to learn and dangerous to try in a real life encounter, but simple techniques that are easily learned and have been proven to work. Through years of experience Sensei Brown has learned (sometimes the hard way), that some of the techniques taught in today’s’ martial art schools are great for winning tournaments however when your attacked violently, some of these techniques just do not work. Many of the instructors of today have never had to defend against an attacker that is intent on seriously injuring them. Sensei Brown reveals the techniques that are best suited for self-defense. Jujitsu is the ancient art of the samurai using empty hands or small weapons and is the mother of many modern arts such as Judo and Aikido. Jujitsu techniques can be traced back to the early 1400′s and include striking, throwing, joint locks and strangulation techniques.

Mastering Jujitsu $20.11 In recent years, the grappling arts have proven to be the most effective form of combat in mixed martial arts (MMA) and no-holds-barred (NHB) competitions. Above all others, the Gracie brand of Brazilian jujitsu has become recognized as the preeminent fighting style in unarmed combat. Now Renzo Gracie–instructor; competitor; and champion of numerous grappling, MMA, and NHB events–reveals the inner workings of the art in his latest book, "Mastering Jujitsu." From the origins of the art to personal techniques, you will experience the impact the Gracies have had on jujitsu and learn the strategies they have developed to dominate their opponents. Gracie shares the subtleties of the techniques necessary for mastering the art, and he clearly demonstrates the flow of movement with more than 250 high-quality photos. Not only will "Mastering Jujitsu" help you progress from isolated skill development techniques to a full set of tactics and fight plans, but it will also introduce you to the concept of combat phases and teach you to attack from any phase. You will learn how to react to your opponent in any situation. Whether you’re caught in a bottom position or attacking from the top, Gracie reveals the key strategies designed to give you the upper hand. The depth and breadth of topics covered in "Mastering Jujitsu" will aid even the most experienced black belts in their understanding and execution of Brazilian jujitsu. With detailed coverage on advanced principles, you will get all the tactics, strategies, techniques, and drills you need for close combat fighting.

Aiming to develop Bujutsu (martial arts) and Heiho (strategy) to the highest possible degree, the samurai devised a code consisting of over eighteen arts. A samurai should have impeccable manners and be an expert in martial arts, but he should never be a killer. His swords contained his soul, which he cultivated by learning poetry and art, and by practicing Zen meditation. The author is the world-famous Kobudo grandmaster. He knows all the Kobudo styles, and his teaching of arts such as Iaijutsu and Jujitsu fascinates many students around the world. This is his first book in English, and it offers readers the opportunity to learn the lesser known arts of Kobudo,particularly the way of Nito Ryu-the two-swords method created by the famous samurai Miyamoto Musashi, and to understand the spirit behind it. Lavishly illustrated with around 700 photographs, Samurai Fighting Arts reveals many secret skills of Kobudo. It is divided into five chapters: Kobudo and its history; Kumiuchi Hyoho; Nito Ryu – the two-sword method; Iai and Kenpo; and Classical Kenjutsu and its application.
