Dear Karate friend,

the 4th South West Open Championships to be held on Sunday 8th June 2008 at Hutton Moor Leisure Centre, Hutton moor road, Weston-super-Mare, England.

Please note that due to a directive received all competitors must be members of their country's WKF recognised national governing body (EKF in England, WKGB in Wales etc).

Again we have brand new performance Tatami's and also the latest electronic scoreboards from Italy on each of the 5 areas. The event will be presided over by Mr Ivor Thomas, English & British Referee and European Judge and his team of nationally qualified referee's. We have added new categories for 2008 including our new "Kid Kick" non-contact categories for ages 4-6 and 7-9 years. In this event both fighters bow then turn and face our special "Kid Kick" floor mounted kick bags which are on the area and perform techniques as if fighting each other. The score board clock times 30 seconds and the judges award the match to the competitor who demonstrates the best technique and control. This will be very beneficial to beginners and those students who wish to take part but are too nervous to fight. We have the very popular parent & child Kata pairs and have added an "Open Pairs" Kata in which any 2 students can compete together. Again there will be a Kata section for special needs students so please encourage any students you may have.

We are very fortunate to have continued sponsorship from Kachi-Do, one the leading suppliers of Martial Arts equipment in the UK including Tokaido, Budo Nord and Arawaza. We are again in a unique position at this event to give back to the people who make Karate great in the UK, YOU!

This time we have a different sponsorship format. As well as quality trophies we will give away  £120 in EVERY EVENT CATEGORY!  1st place = £60, 2nd place = £30 and both joint 3rd places will receive £15 each in vouchers to spend with Kachi-Do.

Check out what you can spend your vouchers on at www.kaichi-do.com.

It is very difficult to get sponsors to  support and promote Karate events and the ones that do we should all do our best to give support back if we can. I am asking that any club that has a website adds a link to Kachi-Do's website to ensure they get the exposure that will enable them to support events like this in the future. If you can do this and confirm the link back to me then I will also promote your website on the South West Open section on my own site. Let's support those who are supporting us!

The Martial Arts press described our last comp as one of the best open events in the UK. Martial Arts Illustrated had a 6 page spread. Don't miss this years event! click for summery article http://www.martialartsltd.co.uk/mai/issue.php?i=244&a=601#601

Hoize ,

Dear friends and well-wishers of martialarts,

Here is a glad news for you. Our respected Master Sensei Gopu Nair newly formed a style in Kobudo named ‘KYOKUJITSU KOBUDO’. Kobudo is an ancient weaponary art of Okinawa. Kobudo the Japanese name means ‘The Way Of Weapons’. Sensei Gopu Nair has over 15 years of experience in the field of martialarts. Along with ‘Isshinryu Karate’ he named his association ‘ISSHINRYU KARATE AND KYOKUJITSU KOBUDO INTERNATIONAL’ (IKKKI). Kyokujitsu became the first kobudo style founded from India (both others are from Okinawa and Japan). And Sensei Gopu Nair became the world’s first youngest founder of a martialart style.

In this style he introducing more than 14 weapons for the first time in India. The new style Kyokujitsu Kobudo  was founded as the true successor of both Ryukyu Kobudo and Matayoshi Kobudo, the ancient Kobudo styles originated from Okinawa.

In the Kyokujitsu style one can learn more than 14 weapons. Some of the weapons and its details are also given with this news letter.

Great World Budo Seminar

 

25 years International Budo Do Federation anniversary

 

International Budo Do Federation

AK-Ryu-Kai

 

09.05-12.05. 2008

Germany

 

At the north of China a historic event is taking shape: 2nd Tai Chi Science Seminar (TSS-2), scheduled for September 1-6 in 2008 at Changchun, the capital city of Jilin province in north China. This is an unusual seminar making history: Tai Chi for the first time ever as a modern science has been established.

The seminar features itself in four points, which should distinguish itself from all other seminars on the world:

First, with the subject matter "Tai Chi, science and health", the seminar could be a chance for meeting of people who are researching or interesting about Tai Chi healing functions. In the Tai Chi Forum they could declare their thesis, show their research results, and learn from other’s experiences. By all such activities the attendee could get many useful knowledge and methods, which could strengthen your capabilities having Tai Chi as a healing method. So TSS-2 is great gathering of people who prefer for the science and truth. (more information: www.01248.cn/tss/theme.asp)

Second, Tai Chi Science System (TSS), the most valuable theory about Tai Chi today, will be released by Mr. Zhang Jiping himself, who is the founder of TSS, which is the front of Tai Chi development in China. (more details: www.01248.cn/tss/course.asp)

Third, this seminar features itself by fruitful workshop as well. Hunyuan Tai chi, the newest style created by GM Feng Zhiqiang, now has become more and more popular in China and in 18 western countries. As an indoor disciple of Feng, Mr. Zhang Jiping will teach you Hunyuan Tai Chi 24 Forms, Hunyuan Tai Chi Sword and Hunyuan Tai Chi Saber, as well as the Internal Work and Tai Chi Stick. The remarkable point is that “Two-phrase Teaching” method works for of the workshop in the seminar. That means that every participator should begin learning the lessons before the seminar time, by TSS-2 Internet support. And then during the seminar they could get deeper instructions and they could master much more knowledge and skills by only once time. So it could be the most fruitful workshop and save you lot of time and money. (more details: www.01248.cn/tss/course.asp)

Fourth, another shining point of the seminar is that it is a good chance to get Mr. Zhang Jiping as sifu and therefore become an official inheritor of Tai Chi Lineage. That is to be an official inheritor of 12th generation of Chen-style and third generation of Hunyuan-style. The title surely is very important for some people, who are instructors of Tai Chi and take Tai Chi as a serious career. After the seminar the disciples will be introduced to GM Feng Zhqiang who lived in Beijing, and get photos with the top master on Tai Chi. (more details: www.01248.cn/tss/enroll4.asp)

So TSS-2 should be a "must" event for any kinds of instructors of Tai Chi, who want to heighten themselves in this occupation, and also for beginners who want to learn this art in correct way just at the very beginning.

Thanks for taking your attention.

sincere your

TSS-2 Office

 

Dear Kungfu and Taichi masters,

 

On behalf of the International Kungfu Federation (IKF) we would like to greet and inform you about our activity.

The goal of the IKF is to promote a unique unity of kungfu and taichi and see it among the Olympic games. We are aware that if one kungfu style joins the Olympics, the other styles will be eliminated. Therefore we are against of any specific style to be linked with the IOC. We offer Light Sanda to be included in the Olympic Games and ten kungfu and taichi styles, winners of the IKF world championships, to be demonstrated at the Olympic Games.

 

Light Sanda can be instructed at all kungfu and taichi clubs as an amateur sport.

We have already clarified our objectives to you and invite you to join the IKF.

The International Kungfu Federation seeks a unity, where all traditional kungfu and taichi styles are free from any form of prejudice as a unique team with unique rules.

Best regards,

Grandmaster Davud Mahmudzadeh

IKF President
