August Schedule
A nikyo being applied. This and other major techniques of Aikido will be explored on the wristlock DVDs.
August is a huge month for the Academy, and I wanted to give an overview of the upcoming weeks.
August 5: The first advanced, blue belt only class. 7 p.m. on Tuesday night. Also, I have a private lesson scheduled with our friend Eric Hansen, a Systema practitioner from Seattle.
August 10: Filming for the “Aikido and Wristlocks” 2 DVD set. I plan on releasing this set and the Purple Belt Requirements at the same time!
August 21: Jeffrey Schauland tests for the blue, 8:15 p.m., Thursday night. Be there!
August 23: Finish filming for the Aikido and Wristlocks DVDs.
August 30: No Saturday class! RDA paint party at the new facility from 12-4 p.m. Come put your mark on the new dojo! Also, Stephen Greenaway and the UK crew will be arriving for their 10 day stay.
September 1: First day at the new location!

That looks a lot like my wrist being broken in that shot =). A big month for RDA...wish I were still there to be a part of it. You are all truly missed. I’ll be keeping a tight watch out for those up and coming DVDs. Good luck on Thursday Jeff, although I’m sure you won’t need it.
Awesome schedule. Can’t wait to see the pics of the new location. Also very excited about the purple requirements!!!
I will certainly be one of your future customers for both of those DVDs Roy. Been a long time since I’ve seen Aikido technique.
Count me in too! Are you taking pre-orders?

I am a new student of BJJ. I am studying under Keith Owen in Boise and by the way, I bought your blue belt requirements on his recommendation - I love it! It is my main teaching tool since I live 81 miles from his academy.
So, my question… are wrist locks allowed in BJJ? If not, why not? They seem to be effective in law enforcement.
Thanks and Peace,
Will
