Wisconsin Martial Arts Camp

The time is almost here, once again, for our annual Wisconsin Martial Arts 
Camp with Sifu Rick Faye of the Minnesota Kali Group.  Many of our students 
have attended one or more camps, and can attest to the effect it has had on 
their skills and their commitment to training.  The Pre-registration 
deadline for the camp is July 4, 2005.   Students can qualify for the 
advanced rate with a $50 deposit by that date.  The cost of the camp is 
$375 for now campers, $345 for returning and pre-registered campers, and 
includes room (dorm- style cabins) and food for the weekend.

The camp runs from Saturday thru Tuesday.  We typically car pool for the 
drive, the event is held in Cable, WI at Lake Owen Camp.  For more 
information, contact Mr. Sell asap.



Aug-2005 (Date TBA)
Dhanda Yoga Seminar with Dr. Maung Gyi

Our students were recently invited to participate in another Dr. Gyi 
seminar, when he once again returns to Milwaukee this August.  Those who 
attended his last seminar in May can tell you about the amount of 
information we cover in the space of a weekend.  The specific date has yet 
to be determined, however the seminar will happen in August,  details will 
be posted on our website as soon as we received them.  The focus of this 
seminar will be Dhanda Yoga.




Brazilian Jiujitsu Classes

Students are encouraged to stop in to see our Brazilian Jiujitsu classes on 
Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.  This is an excellent system for 
beginners, for its technical approach to an often intimidating area of 
training.  Students interested in participating in these classes should 
contact Mr. Sell to get set up with a uniform, belt and mouthguard.



Kill Bill Replica Swords now available

For a limited time, students can purchase replica swords (Katanas) from the 
Tarantino film "Kill Bill."   These include Bill's sword and the Bride's 
sword.  For replicas these are very elegant and include a stand with each 
sword.  Now through July 15, the cost of these are $60 each or $100 for 
both.  These are stainless steel, sharp blades, and will not be sold to 
minors without parent permission.  These blades would look excellent in 
anyone's home.



Private Lessons are now available

With the camp fast approaching, now is a perfect time to take a few private 
lessons with your favorite instructors on a topic of your choice.  Our 
staff of instructors are available to all students for private lessons on a 
number of topics, including Striking Arts, Grappling Arts, Healing Arts, 
Capoeira, Weapons Training, Fitness and Attribute Development.

Each session is between one hour and an hour and a half long and the rates 
for these start at $25.  Anyone interested in a private lesson can contact 
the respective instructor via our Student Messenger Service on our website:

Below are some descriptions of our instructors and their respective areas 
of expertise:

Anthony Sell - Mr. Sell has over 17 years of experience in the Martial Arts 
and has studied many different systems of fighting.  He is a Level 2 
Instructor under Sifu Rick Faye of the Minnesota Kali Group and worked as a 
personal fitness trainer for over five years.  He brings a great deal of 
insight to his classed including history, tactic,  psychology and 
physiology.  Mr. Sell will work with students to assess their strengths and 
needs as Martial Artists, and show them ways to make this information their 
own.

Paul Boyajian - Mr. Boyajian is a Level 1 instructor under Sifu Rick Faye 
and has been in the Martial Arts since the early 80's.  He brings 
no-nonsense training methods to his students and helps them gain a better 
understanding of how to adjust techniques to fit their physical ability and 
interest.  Paul has also offered to video tape sessions so students can get 
a chance to review their performance and identify flaws and strengths in 
their movement.  This is a great chance to see just how well you're really 
doing.

Kari Post - Kari is a professional Massage Therapist as well as an avid 
student of the Healing Arts and brings a great deal of insight to students 
regarding Martial Arts related injuries, Letha Yoga, Dhanda Yoga and other 
related methods.  She is available by appointment.

Harrison Schultz - Harrison has worked hard over the past two years to 
support the Capoeira community in Milwaukee and the Midwest US, and has 
brought to our students a high degree of skill, insight and commitment to 
their development.  He will work with students to help them understand the 
complex dynamics of Capoeira and how to progress their ability in this system.

Regi Bron - Regi is our resident "Jack-of-all-trades" with a background in 
Chinese, Filipino, African, Brazilian, and other Martial Arts traditions, 
he demonstrates a great passion for the Martial Arts, and can help students 
add a level of finesse to their movement, drawing insight from a variety of 
training methods.



Special Thanks

This month, we would like to publicly thank Jason Lippert for his six years 
of service as a staff instructor at Sage.  In that time he brought a level 
of focus and discipline to our grappling program that has helped us all 
excel.  Jason determined a year ago that he would move on to pursue his own 
training in both Judo and Brazilian Jiujitsu.  Though he will be in class 
from time to time to roll with us, he has handed the teaching off to Paul 
Boyajian and Anthony Sell. We look forward to sharing our insights in the 
grappling arts, maintaining the same standards of presentation and 
development.
