San Yama Bushi and Combination Goju School of Self Defense (SYBGC) is now a charter member of Student's Against Destructive Decisions (SADD). Originally, the mission of the SADD chapter was to help young people say "No" to drinking and driving. Today, the mission has expanded. Students have told us that positive peer pressure, role models and other strategies can help them say "No" to more than drinking and driving. And that is why SADD has become a peer leadership organization dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use, impaired driving, teen violence and teen depression and suicide.

SYBCG Welcomes Sensei David Drawdy and Mugai Ryu Iaihyodo
The
San Yama Bushi and Combination Goju School of Self Defense welcomes Sensei
David Drawdy to the Dojo. Sensei Drawdy will be offering instruction in Mugai
Ryu Iaihyodo. Mugai Ryu is a koryu Japanese sword martial art, founded in 1693,
based on two even older styles and a strong foundation of Zen philosophy. It is
an iai system, where techniques begin from a draw and end by sheathing the
sword. Modern Mugai Ryu is 'cutting iai', which means the techniques are meant
to be effective. This is not the Mugai Ryu popularized by Darrell Craig. They
are a study group authorized under the Meishi-ha of Niina-Gosoke, 9th dan
hanshi, designated 16th soke of the style. He heads the Suimokai, which also
incorporates the arts of Shin Muso Ryu jodo and Uchida Ryu tanjojutsu. The
style in the
Students
will begin by learning basic individual forms using an iaito (unsharpened
practice sword) and paired forms using a bokken (wooden practice sword). Those
interested in training are invited to watch a full class prior to discussing
membership. Classes are currently held Tuesdays from 7:30-9:30 at our SYBCG

January 2006
Get Fit, Stay Motivated
San Yama Bushi and Combination Goju would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season. When considering New Years resolutions, the one that comes up time and time again is fitness. This is the year to get in shape. The problem is a standard exercise regimen can often become tedious. When tedium sets in, it is often hard to maintain a fitness program. Training in the Martial Arts is a challenging and ever changing experience. It is also one of the best all around exercise programs there is. The Martial Arts provide strength, cardiovascular and flexibility training while helping to condition the spirit as well. If you would like to get fit without getting bored come by the Dojo or call/email Sensei Z for details.
