Session I Mixed Martial Arts with Master Josh Usera An MMA class with a traditional flair, this is sure to be one of the most intense classes you have ever attended. This session will combine Muay Ti Kickboxing with Brazilian Jujitsu to teach you all the aspects of succeeding in the ring and in real life. Josh will cover striking, take downs, ground control, and even a few submissions. Then you will have a chance to put it all together with real life drills and practice sessions. Josh s ten plus years of experience in full contact martial arts and training will leave you exhausted and begging for more. Recommended attire is shorts and a T-shirt. All participants are required to have a mouthpiece and gloves. You may use sparring gloves or MMA gloves, but MMA training gloves are recommended. Male participants must where a cup and supporter. No shoes please. (Don t have a pair of MMA gloves and want some? DMA of Sioux Falls has them!

Session II Jukite Jujitsu: Applications for Real Life with Shihan Mutch Usera (8 th Dan) Jukite Jujitsu is the perfect art for self-defense, and Shihan Usera (8 th Degree Black ) is the ideal instructor to learn it from. With over 40 years of experience in the martial arts, Shihan Usera has taught police officers, military personnel, and ordinary people to walk the streets with confidence. He will walk you through throwing, takedowns, and joint control techniques that really work. In addition you will learn how to use these techniques to control an opponent without having to severely hurt them. Please wear traditional martial arts attire. (What you normally where to class.) If you have a Karate or Judo style uniform it is recommended but not required. Please wear your normal belt rank. Session III Traditional Kobudo Bo forms with Sensei Joe Herreman Kobudo is an Okinawan weapons system that includes a wide variety of weapons and forms. During this session, Sensei Herreman will be focusing on a beginner/intermediate level form perfect for competition. You will learn the movements of the form, what judges look for when they watch a form, and how to make a good form great. Having been competing in and judging competitions around the region for over 10 years, Sensei Herreman knows just what it takes to win in tournament. Please wear traditional martial arts attire. (What you normally where to class.) Please wear your normal belt rank. Students must provide their own bo staff for this session (oak or bamboo is recommended). Please be aware there may be weapon to weapon contact during this session. (Don t have your own bo staff but want to participate in this session? DMA of Sioux Falls has them!

Session IV Sparring Applications of Shorin Ryu Karate with Sensei Wes Wooley The parent art to many modern Karate systems including Shotokan Karate and TaeKwanDo, Shorin Ryu Karate is an extremely effective fighting system that focuses on using body positioning and speed to quickly close with an opponent and effectively shut down their counter attacks. Sensei Wooley has been using this system to win tournaments and sparring matches around the region for over 20 years. During this session he will teach you how to close with an opponent, effective striking techniques once you get inside, and how to make sure those strikes score. You will also learn how to apply these same techniques outside the ring. Please wear traditional martial arts attire. (What you normally where to class.) Please where your normal belt rank. Participant must also have a full set of sparring gear and a mouthpiece. (Headgear, foot gear, and hand gear.) Shin guards and forearm guards are recommended but not required.

Hunting Information If you would like to join us for pheasant hunting please preregister by Monday October 5 th. Cost of the hunt is $40. We will be meeting at Sioux Empire Fitness Sunday morning and car-pooling out to Brandon S.D. for the hunt. If you are willing to drive part of the group to Brandon, please let me know. The hunting will be on private property so please be respectful of the property owners while we are there. Hunters are required to provide their own hunting license, shotgun, ammunition, and snacks. I also recommend bringing lots of water, as hunting can be thirsty work. Also if you have a hunting dog you would like to bring with you, please feel free to do so. We do not have any dogs at this time, so any four-legged help you can bring with you would be wonderful. In consideration of safety we ask that all hunters where some form of hunter s orange, during the hunt. We also ask that all hunters where eye protection and earplugs for safety. All instructions given by hunting leaders are to be followed exactly. Hunting can be dangerous unless safety precautions are taken and I would like to ensure a safe and fun hunt for all. Because of the dangerous nature of hunting, especially with a group of people you have never hunted with before, I do ask that all participants be at least 14 years of age to hunt with us. While I understand that many younger hunters would like to join us, this will be a mixed group of people, so we are limiting the ages for safety considerations. If you would like to hunt with us but do not want to participate in the martial arts seminar, that is perfectly fine. Just fill out the registration form and check only boxes for the day or days you would like to hunt with us. Finally, I want to let you know we are limited on space for the hunting. We can have a maximum of 15 hunters / day, and must have a minimum of 8 hunters / day. Spaces will be given out on a first come first served basis, so please be sure to sign up early. If we do not meet the minimum required number of hunters for a given day, you will be informed by e-mail or phone no later than Friday October 9 th. A full refund of hunting fees will be given in event of cancellation by DMA of Sioux Falls. If you must have reserved a hunting space and are unable to attend, please let us know by no later than October 5 th for a 50% refund. Cancellations after October 5 th will not be refunded. All hunters must preregister by October 5 th. If you have any questions about the hunting, the seminar or anything else please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me an e-mail.
