Frank Niles sent me an E-mail with the following video linked. Very nice techniques applied with a lot of gusto. You should recognize all the techniques if your Blue belt or above.
Amy, myself, and both of our kids recently returned from California, where we participated in Ohana 2010. It was a blast. I particularly enjoyed Professor Chubb's Shoshin Ryu Jujitsu Clinic. I also had the great pleasure to participate in Professor Jon Jacques's Hanbo Clinic, some Shinnin, Oku, and various other clinics.

Newsletter
The latest Shoshin Ryu Newsletter is available. Just click on the link.
Of note, my good friend, Professor Jon Jacques, has announced his retirement from the board of Shoshin Ryu Yudanshakai. I have known Jon for about 35 years. He is a man I respect deeply, and has been inspirational in my time as a student of Danzan Ryu. His sense of fraternity, and loyalty are legendary. I look forward to personally thanking Jon for his service when I see him again next month.

Luau Baby!
Shoshin Ryu Maine will be hosting its first Annual Summer Party on July 18th, at Sensei Rich's house. The theme is Hawaiian this year. We will start at 2 PM and go 'til roughly 8 PM, unless compelled by the Hawaiian Party gods to proceed later.
We will be having a fun work out, swimming in the pool, a Hawaiian style Bar-B-Q, and some games for the yonen (children) afterwards.
Bring whatever you want to drink, and one large Hawaiian-themed dish to share. I will be roasting pork and chicken on the spit. For the adults, we have a blender...
Parents and siblings are welcome. Each person should bring a gi (if a student), bathing suit, towel, camp or folding chair, and a change of clothes (Hawaiian style, if you have it--colorful, if you don't).
RSVP by email, please, using the link on the right. I will send directions to my home when I get the e-mail.
Also, it would be helpful if people who are planning to attend would comment in the comment section about what they are planning to bring as a dish to share. Things we need for sure:
1) Chips and salsa
2) Garden salad
3) Fruit salad (think pineapple, people!)
4) Hot wings
5) Rice dish
6) Pasta salad
Otherwise, be creative!
This party will replace our usual Sunday workout that weekend.
