Transcription

1 Hi there, Adults' + Teens' Martial Arts Classes! Welcome Pack Welcome to the Raining Spirit Dojo, a Modern, Eclectic Martial Art Dojo in Hurstbridge, Melbourne, where we study a beautiful, fundamental, exciting, enriching and empowering Martial Art. When you study movement, you study an art form Every martial-art has its particular goals and underlying direction. This generally comes from it's cultural context. Since times have changed, and we no longer deal with waring horse-back soldiers on a daily basis, the needs for martial-arts, and its' real purpose, have changed too. We teach a street-realistic style of martial-arts, designed to teach effective street self defense, both physically and mentally. It is a foundation art, and aims to provide students with a general, well rounded and wholesome foundation in martial-arts, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We study a range of concepts, techniques, weaponry, breath-work, stretching, energywork, meditations, situation control psychology and self reflection through movement, all designed to give students a large set of powerful skills for self determination and self defense, as well as a compassionate, deeply rooted experience of self-reflection and the ability to manage situations peacefully, non violently, and openly. What you'll find in this Welcome Pack! There is a student application form attached to this welcome pack for you to fill out and bring along to your first class, as well as the current Student Fee's Outline. All you need to do to get started in a class, is contact the dojo on , or The Dojo at admin@rainingspiritdojo.com.au You'll simply need some light and comfortable clothing (black in colour preferably), a drink bottle, and a willing, open heart.
