It's confirmed

The head instructor up in NY finally confirmed that they want to hold the martial arts seminar on Saturday, October 1. 8-)

Now I just need to come up with some sort of catchy-sounding name/title for it. Somehow, I doubt "Dragon's Butt-Kicking Bonanza!" would quite go over the way I want it to.... ::G::

Congrats your your seminar getting firmed up! What exactly will you be teaching (besides "butt-kicking")? *s*

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

I'm mostly going to focus on taking their basic form (same form as is used in a lot of different schools/styles, including mine) and teaching them how to "read" it, so that it goes from being a complicated dance to being a manual of combat-effective techniques. I'll also give them some basic pressure point information and concepts, and show them how the form maps out those techniques.

I'll show them some very basic energy work (i.e. "chi tricks" like Unbendable Arm or Unbreakable Ring) that all of them can do, so that they can see for themselves that yes, it does work and yes, *they* can do it, too.

I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to demonstrate any knockouts (although I probably will), but I will definitely cover basic resuscitation techniques, just in case one of them "gets lucky" ::S::.
