Out Door Courses
Additional training outdoors
The outdoor courses are a necessary part of the syllabus for all grades. All subjects are approached with more attention given to subjects that are enhanced further by being outdoors such as opening the chakra, meditation for improved technique, attuning to the world around us, intention development, sideline combatant, haragei and others. The course normally lasts around 4 hours and you are advised to wear loose clothing and sensible shoes/boots that you don’t mind getting dirty.
As mentioned above we like to use all the surroundings on an outdoor course, for example the trees, the river and the beach. We normally train in most conditions except from the obvious ones such as electrical storms and excessive rain storms. The varying conditions are extremely helpful as a training aid with most of the subjects we would be exercising. This is why we try and make an outdoor course available at least once in each of the four seasons.
Students can also take advantage of the fact that they are tested on there skill and knowledge at any course and if successful can further advance in the art and achieve their next grade. This can be a bonus for some students as in the past for example we have had students not quite ready for a workshop but were ready to pass at the course.
