The Hoteikan System Seminar in Arizona this October was a great success! Soke Reno Claudio arrived on Wednesday night and attended the Desert Warrior class on Thursday night, October 14th. He proceeded to show the students elements of Sosuishi Ryu Jujutsu that he learned many years ago. That same evening the cadets and Colonel Hector Morales arrived at the Dojo from West Point in full uniform. They were a wonderful sight to behold! Friday evening, Soke Armstrong and Shihan Morales conducted ground techniques and Judo basics along with grip control.
Saturday morning Shihan Carrano led the group in an outdoor sunrise workout in the desert. He then concluded the workout back at the dojo with a demonstration of Tai-sabaki from the Hoteikan Dojo. Before bowing out Soke Armstrong presented Shodai Soke Reno Claudio with a pictorial history of the Hoteikan System on behalf of all the members. He was truly touched by the show of love and respect we have for him.
Our main event was held at the SMAC dojo and led by Soke Armstrong. He tied all the sessions together with effective self defense techniques utilizing Tai sabaki movements. The workshop concluded with a dinner at Soke Armstrongs house!
We want to thank everyone for attending this great event and we hope to see everyone at our next seminar!
