CULTURAL NEWS: Forwarded for Friends of Shoseian

From: Michael Belzer, President, Friends of Shoseian

Hi Everyone,

Next month, on Sunday Aug. 20th, we will be hosting a very interesting event that I think many of you will be excited to attend.

Mikal Vega, a retired Navy SEAL, will be returning to the Shoseian to lead us in his expression of Brazilian Jujitsu that he calls

"Flow Jitsu". He describes it as more "user friendly" especially as many of us are growing older, have some injuries we have to watch out for and yet still would like to learn more about this very effective grappling style. I am sure that he will also be sharing with us some other insights from his practice of Kundalini Yoga along with grappling with that most challenging opponent which is ...ourselves!

We will be outside and rolling on the grass so my suggestion is to wear loose fitting, long pants that you aren't afraid to get grass stains on. You might want to consider wearing a long sleeve rash guard too. August will be hot and this is a three hour class that will start at 10 am and end at 1 pm. We will be in the shade but make sure you bring a good supply of water and a snack!

I expect this will be a full class and we are going to cap it at 30 participants. You must pre-register by using the QR Code here, or on the attached flyer.
