From anthony at sageartsstudio.com Thu Apr 1 00:32:50 2004 From: anthony at sageartsstudio.com (Anthony Sell) Date: Thu Apr 1 00:34:01 2004 Subject: [Newsletter] Sage Arts Unlimited Newsletter - April 2004 Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20040401021343.02abd3f0@sageartsstudio.com> ____________Sage Arts Unlimited Newsletter - April 2004______________ In this Issue: - Pedro Sauer Brazilian JiuJitsu Seminar! - African Martial Arts Seminar! - Dr. Gyi Seminar! Congratulations A few of our students are traveling to Atlanta, GA this weekend for their first Batizado in Capoeira Regional, with Mestre Fran from the Grupo Maculele. Their hard work and consistent training has prepared them to receive their first Cord in this system. Because Claudia will be with them, there will be no Capoeira classes this Friday or Sunday. Upcoming Events In-school Chess Night April 1, 2004 - 6:30-8:30 PM (Tonight!) Our last chess night was a blast, some students stayed until nearly 11:30 PM, playing for hours. This was an exciting way to get to know the other students and exercise certain cognitive skills that are common in both chess and the Martial Arts. One of the most important aspects of a Martial Artist is the ability to think tactically, strategically, and to anticipate the intention of their opponent. For this reason, I have made it a requirement that every student learn how to play the game of chess, which has been used to educate military minds, warriors and leaders for centuries. Join us for an evening of intellectual stimulation. For beginners, the rules of the game will be discussed and coached by Jason Lippert (an avid and rated chess player), our resident Chess Coach, and skill will be developed through practice games with more experienced students. The cost is $5 for the evening and will include refreshments for those participating. Bring your favorite chess set and a buddy - See you there! Brazilian Jiujitsu Seminar with Professor Pedro Sauer April 3, 2004 (This Saturday!) Henry Matamoros will be hosting a seminar with Professor Sauer at his school this Saturday. Our grappling students are encouraged to attend. Classes at Sage Arts Unlimited for that day will be cancelled with the following exception: Letha Yoga/Bodyworks class will be held as usual. The cost of the seminar is $100 cash or check, those interested in testing for Blue Belt will pay an additional $60 fee, those interested in testing for Purple Belt will pay an additional $80 fee. The seminar will run from 11 AM 2 PM. The location of the event will be: 2653.
