Dear Students and Instructors,

Kyoshi Teddy Wilson is trying to take us back to the early 1960s when he first started to train in the martial arts, when there was a proper etiquette, a proper mental and psycological attitude, a proper commitment to the education and dedication of the training and art.

We at clubaiki would like to present this event in a true Japanese seminar tradition; meaning there will be no luxury here. Although we’re training in a luxury atmosphere, there’s no luxury in the training. We’ll be training hard and strict for three days we’ll be eating, sleeping, shitting our martial arts training.

This is the seminar that everybody has a chance to train with the Grandmaster of the systems.

Before we begin to explain the basics of the seminar; we would like to take this time to let you know that it’s important that you confirm with us about your intensions on eating and sleeping arrangements in order, not to have any confusions with our kind hosts and the people who will be shopping and cooking for us.

The trainings in the seminar will be taking place under six different disciplins, which will be given by the instructors and the assistants that are mentioned below:
