In February the Japanese Culture Center in Lakeview will host free one hour workshops of self defense on Wednesdays from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
People can RSVP at www.japaneseculturecenter.com or via phone at 773.525.3141. Space will be limited to 20 people.
The meditation class will not meet this Sunday October 23 due to senior students attending this weekend’s sesshin in Spring Green, WI.
THE DEAL
There’s more to the martial arts than punching, kicking, blocking, or getting a nifty colored belt. Like a dance, it’s about knowing your opponent, and more importantly, yourself. With this martial arts deal from the Japanese Culture Center, learn to master yourself.
Conquer your fears. Gain confidence. Unify your mind with your body. Master the techniques of the “way of unifying life energy,” as you strengthen your mind and body under able, experienced instructors.
The mission of the Japanese Culture Center is to enlighten the public on the arts, crafts, and philosophies of the “Land of the Rising Sun.” Through its martial arts classes and cultural course offerings, the Center shares skills, insights, and the timeless traditions of Japan.
Unleash your potential. Be the best you can be — on the mat and off. Find confidence through mastery, with Aikido Self-Defense Classes from the Japanese Culture Center.

The book, Zen in the Art of Archery, by Eugen Herrigel has been hailed as perhaps the most influential book on Zen ever published in the West. The expression “Zen in the Art of…” has become commonplace; a recent Google search on the term revealed 49,400, 000 hits. Yet, despite the prevalence of the term, few Westerners have had the opportunity to actually study kyudo, the “Way of the Bow” described by Herrigel, let alone plumb the depths of its relationship to Zen. The International Zen Dojo of Wisconsin is pleased to announce this residential workshop on Zen kyudo. It is open to anyone who is interested in studying kyudo as a Zen art. No previous experience is necessary; however, participants who are experienced in Zen or kyudo are welcome.
