Ho Mi seminar by Grandmaster Daniel Verkerke

The seminar is scheduled for Saturday, October 13, and we will begin at 11:00 am sharp.    This should give those who travel from a near distance (say Sudbury) to be able to forego the expenses of hotel etc.  The seminar will end at 6:00 pm, and it will have a break about 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm.

After the seminar, we will have a nice little get-together at the club. Pizza and pop will be available, and swapping stories is mandatory:)  As a safety precaution, we will close the event after the first twenty people have pre-registered.  Wooden training Ho Mi will be available for sale.

CIRCLE OF MASTERS - MY EXPERIENCES:
- by Lanore Woodruff

I felt honored that Grand Master Triplett invited his students of all levels to the Circle of Masters gathering this past month. I understand that usually only Masters attend these events, but Grand Master Triplett made a decisions to include his students which truly enhanced the feeling of the Academy being a family.

Personally, I was impressed and inspired by the demonstration that was delivered by the higher ranked students. It gave me a taste of what I can look forward to in my training, and showed me the talents of fellow students.

The speeches made by all of the Masters receiving awards were very encouraging and positive. They have worked so hard and accomplished so much, but each one is aware that with every accomplishment comes a new beginning. There is always more to come. I as particularly touched when James Glendenning received his certificate and plaque. He was so appreciative of the recognition the Circle of Masters were giving him.

One thing that has stayed with me from that day is something that Grand Master McEaddy said. It is something that I think is crucial to serious training. He said that,"It is dangerous to train in other systems before you master yours". This seems like an incredibly important thing to remember so as not to dilute the knowledge and skills that we are gaining here with Phoenix Ninpo Ryu. It is a point I will not forget.
