Hi All,

As you may have heard by now, our club is organising an Aikido seminar with Etsuji Horii Shihan, 7th Dan Aikikai. There will be two training sessions altogether.

Following are the details of the seminar:

Time: 6.00pm - 7.30pm (weapon training) & 8.00pm - 9.30pm (normal training)

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Horii Shihan, here's a bit of background information on him:

Horii Shihan is the head of Sanda Dojo in Kobe. Horii Shihan entered Hombu Dojo in Tokyo in 1985, initially as an uchi-deshi, eventually becoming a full-time instructor. He moved back to his native Kansai region in 1996 and established the Aikido Kobe Sanda Dojo of Aikikai Foundation. He has taught at many international seminars and remains very close to Doshu and to Hombu Dojo. The Sanda Dojo website can be found athttp://www.lares.dti.ne.jp/~horii/index_e.html.

Looking forward to seeing all of you at the seminar. Thank you.

Combined Training with SP

2011-01-06T11:09:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! Its Joey here this time! =)

Anyways, here to inform all you people about the upcoming combined training with our dear SP friends! =D

We rarely get combined trainings, so this is a really good chance to make new friends, catch up with old ones and learn techniques from each other!

Details:5th of September

Date: 9th January 2011
Location: Kolam Ayer CC
Time: 8.45am

For those who do not know how to get to the CC, please try and meet up with the others who have been to the CC. But, for those who are taking bus, the only buses i know of are bus 23 from tampines interchange and bus 26 from bedok interchange. For those who take bus 23, you will have to stop at Kallang Swimming Complex and walk maybe 5 minutes to reach the CC. Those who take bus 26, there is a bus stop opposite the CC. You can just ask the bus driver. =D

Please report at 8.45am for attendance taking (LOL!), and to help shift the mats! Plus if you arrive early, you'll be able to interact with the other SP Aikido mates!

I am sure all of you would have received a message from FM regarding the attendance issue. I have confirmed with Sensei, and those who do not go for multiple are still eligible to go for the combined training as this is a special occasion! You'll not be required to pay for multiple just because you wanna go for Combined training or anything. =D

Therefore, this is not a valid reason for not being able to turn up for the training this sunday, 9th of Jan 2011.

Yes, this event is COMPULSORY. Unless you provide us with a valid reason via sms or face-to-face, we expect that all of you will turn up for the training. Those who fail to provide us with a valid reason and still refuse to turn up for the training, you'll have a series of punishments to go through once we get our hands on you.

Stamina is something important in Aikido, and so we'll ensure that you'll build it up. =D

Anyways, hope you enjoyed the first week of school! =D

NOTE. I HOPE THOSE WHO SIGNED UP FOR THE MALACCA TRIP HAS PAID $150 TO SANDY ALREADY.

TRAINING RESUMPTION

2010-09-13T09:18:00.001-07:00

Hello people!!! Just a short notice for all you peeps out there!

Training resumes this thursday, 16th of september!! Please meet at Meeting Room 8 instead of SAR, as the SAR will still be locked. I am sure you guys know where Meeting Room 8 is at right? =)

As usual, cut your nails, be on-time if not earlier. Training will be at SC as usual, so we'll need people to help shift the mats. The more people who help, the less each of you will have to carry. =D

IMPORTANT.
MAT-CLEANING, WEDNESDAY, 15TH SEPTEMBER 2010, 1045AM, MEETING ROOM 8.

(GAH. Why won't it be red!!!! Grrrr.)

This applies the same principles, the more people who come and help, the faster the mats can be cleaned. The faster the mats get cleaned the faster you can get out of the sun, into the shade and go for lunch.

So please, we need MORE people to come down and help with the mats cleaning. The last mats cleaning we had, a lot of people came down to help, and we finished really quickly. So please, if you are free on wednesday, come down and help out! You can go out with your friends in the late afternoon, we just need you till maybe 1pm or maybe even 12pm. That is, if more people volunteer to come down and help!

Thank thanks!!

FINAL DETAILS

2010-08-30T08:14:00.000-07:00

Hi people, exams are round the corner! I hope you guys have studied for them! =)

This sunday, 5/1/10 is ZQS Family day at Kolam Ayer CC. Final details here~

Date: 5th September 2010
Venue: Kolam Ayer CC
Time: 9.00am FOR DEMO TEAM
10.30AM FOR NON-DEMO TEAM
Cost: $20/pax (Includes an exclusive ZQS T-shirt, Dinner buffet and a coupon for a lucky draw with really attractive prizes!)
Attire: Full set of CLEAN Gi [FULLY IRONED] (please if you only have one set, don't go for Saturday training to ensure your gi will be fresh for sunday!)

Weapons set are only to be brought by those who are involved in the demo, those who are not, do not need to bring weapon sets. The event would end around 5pm or later.

For those who do not know how to get to Kolam Ayer CC, please make plans with the other freshies who have gone to the cc before so that you guys can travel together. That ways, none of you would get lost! =)

The CC is rather close to Kallang MRT Station, so if any of you were to take the MRT, you can check the boards located in the station for more information, as it is hard to describe how to get there. I know you can take bus 26~

None of you better be late. Make sure you people reach on time!

Any other details, you can call me or message me!

Details details~

2010-08-22T07:43:00.000-07:00

Hello people! Joey here!

Due to some miscommunication, basically with me, I have listed down the wrong dates for training. Oops. =3

Anyways, next thursday, the 26th of August, THERE IS STILL TRAINING. Please come down for training, as usual gather at around 4, 4.30 at the SAR so that we will have ample time to transport the mats to the Sports Complex!

There will be a break from trainings from the 2nd to the 9th of September due to study break and exams respectively. Trainings will resume on the 16th of September. For those hardcore chiongsters, you are still welcomed to go for the multiple dojo trainings! =D

For those people who have not paid up for the family day event, please do so by this thursday. This is important, or else you are gonna get it from me. Please pay up to Fangmin or to Sandy, but if you do pay to the latter, please inform Fangmin, or else you might cause some inconvenience for Fangmin when it comes to checking who paid and not. Thanks thanks!

I think this it all. Hmm. OH!

Please remember that ZQS Family Day is COMPULSORY. Tell me a valid reason and i will decide if it is suitable to give this event a miss. If there is no reason and you decide to skip this event, i swear you are going to get it from me. I have emphasized the importance of this event many times!!

I think that is all. Really. Hahas, if anything is up, i will post it here or get my dear secretary to message you people. Whatever the case, please check this blog often cause i will post any updates here as well! Thanks people! =)

Zhen-Qi Shu Family Day

2010-08-12T18:28:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! Joey here once again~

On the 12th of August, after training, Sandy made an announcement regarding the family day that will be held on the 5th of September. So here i am with the DETAILS! =)

This will be the 8th anniversary since the founding of Zhen-Qi Shu, therefore this is a very important event for all to attend. If you do not know what important is, here are some definitions for you to read and understand.

–adjective
1. of much or great significance or consequence: an important event in world history.
2. entitled to more than ordinary consideration or notice: an important exception.

Definitions from the awesome online dictionary, dictionary dot com.

The reason why this event should out you on high alert is because other than our Chief instructor AwYong Sensei, there will be THREE other Sensei namely from ShoShin Akikai Singapore, China Akikai and Kensankai Aikido.

This is one of the rare occasions where you can actually get coached by FOUR different Sensei! Can you imagine what you can actually learn from this occasion?

Exams start on the 6th of September, but i really hope you guys will be able to just sacrifice one day for this momentous event.

Date: 5th September 2010
Venue: Kolam Ayer CC
Time: 9.30am OR EARLIER. (It is advisable for people who are unsure of the route to Kolam Ayer to meet up with those who do and go together.)
Cost: $20/pax (Includes an exclusive ZQS T-shirt, Dinner buffet and a coupon for a lucky draw with really attractive prizes!)
Attire: Full set of CLEAN Gi [FULLY IRONED] (please if you only have one set, don't go for Saturday training to ensure your gi will be fresh for sunday!)

This event is COMPULSORY.

–adjective
1.required; mandatory; obligatory

Do i need to further explain why this is compulsory? I expect EVERYONE to go for this event. If you cannot, i expect you to come and find me and tell it to my face, the reason why you are not going. It is up to me to decide whether or not your reason is appropriate to give this event a miss.

Besides, whether you will be going or not, you will be expected to pay $20, as you are part of ZQS. Therefore i think it is a waaaaay better deal for you to pay and go and get a exclusive t-shirt, buffet lunch, a chance to win prizes and to learn new techniques!

Those, well everyone, who will be going for this event is expected be on your best behaviour. The main comm has not been very strict on how you guys act on the dojo, but with this event coming up, we will enforce all the rules regarding proper training etiquette. You will be going representing TP Aikido, and along with SP Aikido Club and the other CC goers, YOU WILL BE REPRESENTING ZQS.

You people are young adults therefore i hope you guys will be able to keep your attitudes in check and make this event successful. Besides, if anything goes wrong for the event and we find out that it had to do with any of you people, :D, you won't want to reach that step.

So people, please cooperate with us and just enjoy this occasion together okays? =) Please start paying up to Fangmin starting from today. Everything should be in order by next week 19th August 2010.

Please, call me/sms me if you need any extra information. Indemnity forms will be given! If any of your parents wishes to find out more about this event, please forward them to me directly!

We would be training most of the time, but other than trainings, you will be able to enjoy demos from TP and SP, demos by children, and demos by each of the 4 Sensei. So please make it a point to come for the Family day!! =)

I think this is all~ Please check back here for more details!! =D

10th August YOG Torch Bearing Event

2010-08-02T07:58:00.000-07:00

Hello people!! Joey here once again!

As all of you should know (because of the smses i had our dear treasurer send out), there is another YOG event that needs Aikido's participation. Yes, we are THAT popular. Hahas

Details are here:
1. This event is COMPULSORY. In case you do not know what compulsory is, check up the dictionary. But it just means that your attendance is marked. =D By me that is. So don't you dare agree to show up and don't.

2. Gather outside Auditorium 2 at 1.15pm (to ensure everyone is on time) for a sports workshop. Once again, COMPULSORY.

3. Actual event, which is to cheer for the torch bearer who would be running through Temasek Poly's very own triangular gardens (YAY~). It starts around 6pm and will end around 7 plus.

4. IMPORTANT. Attire. For seniors, please wear a Team Temasek T-shirt. Freshies, i know you guys have not gotten a Team Temasek Aikido Tee, therefore you guys have to wear another shirt, but it has to be RED.

IMPORTANT. I need EVERYONE to pass up the 10 dollars needed for the new Team Temasek T-shirt. I just got news that i need all the money collected by next tuesday. Therefore, can everyone please cooperate and give us the money ASAP? =) Plus i need your sizes. Please remember to tell that to your treasurer when you give her the cash!! Remember, IMPORTANT!!

And for the hundredth time, please pass up your 2 passport sized photos!!!! Please cooperate! =) I am starting to sound naggy... T_T

Thanks!!! See ya this Thursday! It's WEAPON TRAINING!!! =)

CONGRATULATIONS~!

2010-07-31T07:33:00.000-07:00

HELLO PEOPLE! :)

Congrats to all the freshies that went for grading today!!!! All of you are now a colour belt! Hahas Good work!!

To the two awesome girls who went for grading, please, if it is possible, please go down for training maybe at 4pm, so that we can help you with your hakamas~~ =D Please get them sewn at the places we indicated, as it will facilitate you in folding your hakama afterwards~

Weapon training for first week of the month commences tomorrow! Those who have weapon sets, please remember to bring them for trainings! Those without a proper weapon during training would not be able to train.

To those who have not handed up your two passport sized photos, please hand them in! I have asked for them for a few weeks now, please do hand them in. They are important for your Zhen Qi Shu (ZQS) document and for your udanza - something like your passport in ZQS Aikido.

For those who have not handed up your dojo fees, please do so either to me, or to Sensei directly. For those who do not go for multiple, it would be 50 dollars. For those who do, your 24 weeks of free multiple dojo, is over, therefore it would be 100 dollars. =)

The TP Team Temasek Shirt would be coming in, it would be good if you guys can start paying up - pay to our treasurer and please tell her what size would you like at the same time! The estimated cost for the Team Temasek shirt will be 10 dollars, if there is any change, we will return it to you guys, so don't worry! The sizes available are most likely XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.

Once again, CONGRATS TO THE FRESHIES WHO WENT FOR GRADING!!! =) We are so proud of you peeps, hahas. Keep up the good work!!! =D

2010-05-25T10:11:00.000-07:00

Hello there once again!!! =)

Okays, i am back here on this blog to post just a few things! =D

One, there is still training this week on Thursday 27th May. So please come down and go for training. I know term tests are around the corner (which means i should be studying... EKK!), but you people have paid for the lessons, so why waste your money right? Besides, its not everyday you get to go for training~~ But please note, during the term test week, there will be NO trainings held in TP, but you are still welcomed to go for other dojo trainings!

Two, to the dear freshies, i wonder have you guys finished paying up for all the fees? I hope so! =D And for those who have ordered their weapon sets, please bring $80 on thursday to pay sensei! Plus for those who have not done so, please bring along two passport size photos with your NRIC written behind please!

Three, for those seniors who HAVE NOT paid the club fee... Please pay up!!!! We need the money to fill the hole that will appear soon! Its just $2, is it that hard to get $2 from your allowance? =) If you like, we will allow you to pay in installments. $1 one day! =D Hehes

Four, to freshies once again! =) We have explained to you guys the significance of going to outside dojos for multiple trainings right? Please, it will really do you guys good!!! You still have like 20 weeks free of outside trainings, so please cherish the time you have and go for them as much as you can! I usually go for the Sunday trainings, so come for this one if you have the time!! Hehe! For those who want more information on how to get there, please, just approach any one of your KIND and HELPFUL seniors! We are pleased to help! =) (Pssh, side-note here! You learn more techniques and you can polish what you have learned at these outside trainings. Plus you can make new friends! Hehe. SO COME!!!!)

Lastly, GOOD LUCK for the upcoming exams! I hope all of us will be able to do well in these exams!!! Have no fear, AIKIDO is here~~ =D Take care, and i hope to see all of you down at the dojo this thursday! =)

See ya!!!

WELCOME~!!

2010-05-12T10:16:00.000-07:00

HELLO THERE EARTHLINGS!
This is your Captain speaking! (Oooh, i like how this sounds.)

To the new batch of freshies, WELCOME TO TO AIKIDO! I am personally very happy to see you guys coming down to register with us, plus from the first bonding session that we had, i am glad to hear what some of your reasons for joining aikido were!

Just so you know, if you ever do have any problems regarding aikido or related to aikido, feel free to approach any one of your seniors, even the graduates, because i am very sure, we are all happy to assist you guys! =)

For those who have not paid the full amount, please do so, so that you will not be hounded down by our dear treasurer. Plus, if you have not done so, please bring two passport size photos of yourself with your name and NRIC number written at the back.

Weapon sets are going at 80 dollars per set, and it is advisable to buy a set of your own to avoid having to train with the wrong weapon, eg. Jo for the bokken kata.

Another reminder, we (the committee), would like you guys, if possible, to reach the club room (SAR 51) by 4.30 at least to help out with the setting of the mats. It is a rule, as stated in the information booklet, that you have to arrive at the dojo half an hour earlier to help set the mats and prepare the dojo for training. We expect to start training promptly at 5pm SHARP.

As for those who end classes late, please print out a copy of your time-table and hand it to our dearest secretary, aka our dearest treasurer as well, Fangmin. And if you are unable to go for a training, please provide a Medical Certificate (MC) for validation.

These are the basic rules, so i really really hope you guys will adhere to them! =D No worries, we are nice people, we won't bite! =D Well, i know i won't~~

Let's work together and make TP AIKIDO a MORE awesome group so that members will feel proud being a member, and outsiders will feel jealous for not being one of us! =D Cheerios, and please check back to this blog whenever you can! Hehe, we'll post announcement for events here! =D

PS. For those freshies who missed the registration date, we may have ended registration, but our doors will always be wide open. You can join us anytime as long as you take the initiative to come and talk to us! Once again, we are VERY NICE PEOPLE! =)

PPS. I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED YOUR FIRST TWO TRAININGS~~~ =D

PPPS. OH! OH! OH!!!! Hahas, i forgot to post this~~~ This was the video from the IG Day Demo. Hope you guys like it! =D

Download Packlist Here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AvMkPn8BKG8IdFJKQmYxTlNja0xTX09vSnQ5WFJpTUE&hl=en

How to get there: This chalet is very near to the UOB chalet that held the ZQS Family Day. Therefore you can reach the chalet, by taking bus 403 once again and drop off outside the UOB Chalet.

The best choice would be, for you people to meet up at Pasir Ris Interchange (meet with those who have been to the UOB chalet). Time to go to the chalet would be from 4.30PM to 6.00PM. However, if any of you people are kind enough to come help out with the cleaning up of the chalet, please come to the chalet at 3.30PM!! We need all the help we can get!

We, Fangmin, Yeesin and I would like to thank all the people who went down for mat-cleaning on Monday 5/4/2010. You people are our HEROES!!! =DDDD Thanks loads for coming down to help!!! Especially, Lin Quan and Choon Yee!! Thanks for helping even though you two were having camp!!! =)

Hi people! Joey here!! =D

Okays, i know this is like SUPER DUBER late, but please come down for MAT CLEANING tomorrow afternoon at 12 NOON. We really need people to come and help out with the mats as they really stink and if nobody comes to help, we will then have to train on smelly stinky, moss-covered mats AGAIN. I'm sure none of you want that right? =D So please, try and come down to help out. I know our dear treasurer aka Communication Centre of TP Aikido aka Fangmin has messaged you guys a few times already. =D

Another thing to note, we will be starting second training for all those who are interested on Thursday nights right after our usual training slot. This was suggested as we have noticed that many of us, get super tired during/after trainings/gradings. So in order to make sure none of us will ever pass out during a grading or something as important as that, we have decided to organise this, erm, event(?) to train our stamina together! =DD

Of course, if you have a very valid reason, you are allowed to skip this extra training, but please tell anyone of the comm members (yes, that includes the ~~current~~ ex-comm members). As for the rest, please understand that this is for your own good as well! So please join and we can all train together! More details will be given during this Thursday's training 8/4/2010. The second trainings start this Thursday 8/4/2010 as well. =)

Side note: THOSE WHO HAVE NOT PAID UP FOR AIKIDO CHALET YET, PLEASE PAY UP!!! 8 MORE DAYS TO CHALET!!!! =D

Thanks people!!!!

2010-03-10T21:49:00.000-08:00

zhenqi-shu China trip

2009-07-19T06:48:00.001-07:00

Dear ALL,

for those who dont know and those who didnt notice, Sensei is going to organize a cross-training trip to China, mainly Guang Zhou and Shanghai.. there are dojos there that we'll be training at plus some SHOPPING and SIGHTSEEING.

Date: 24 Dec 2009 to 1Jan 2010
Fee: not more than SGD$1500

if you guys are deciding on going or not, let me show you the pros and cons ok?

PROS:
1. expose yourself to overseas Aikido training
2. know more aikido people from China
3. learn more aikido skills
4. fly overseas without parents
5. bonding with fellow aikido mates
6. good food
7. once-in-a-lifetime experience
8. SHOPPING
9. learn life skills (eg, living without mommy and daddy)
10. sightseeing
11. etc etc

CONS:
1. LESS than $1500 flying away BUT its hardly a cons coz be sure that the $$ is ALL WORTH IT and sensei will try to lower all the cost as its a budget student plan kinda trip =)
in conclusion, none.

To muslim peeps, dun worry.. china got good halal food..

therefore, i hereby appeal to ALL of you guys to go for the trip as its really benefitting =)

those that wanna go, pls submit $500 to sensei by the end of July and tell him tt you wanna go coz he gotta book the air ticket early to get the best price =))

Just want to make an announcement.
It's regarding the Team Aikido Shirts.

As of now,
the shirt costs about $9 (updated as of 6th July), not $5.
This is being discounted by Sports Club (lol..)

Anyway,
As for the demo team,
if you can come down early for training this thursday,
please come down.
then we can set the mats up earlier and do a rundown on the whole programme.

And to those who went for grading on the 4th of July,
congratulations!
