Since there is (as always) a shortage of Jodo news here I thought I would forward Michael Yate's email about this months Sydney seminar.

Hi to all Jodo practioners.

Our annual 4 day seminar with Phil Relnick sensei is coming up at the end of next month.

The dates are June Sat 26, Sun 27, Mon 28 & Tues 29.

Venues, costs & training times are being finalised at the moment.

Relnick sensei is one of the best communicators teaching Jodo today and he has a lot to give in helping us understand the finer points of this fascinating art.

Everyone is of course welcome from wherever you live for all four days or just the Sat & Sun if that is all you can manage.

Relnick sensei has asked that everyone bring notebooks and be ready to Watch, Hear & Question. He has outlined some different teaching methods that he will use while here to assist us further.

An opportunity not to be missed.

If you have any questions in the meantime please drop me a line

And here I am commiting the sin of replying to my own post due to the shortage of Jodo people here :). Jodo people must post more!

I managed to attend only 2 days of the Relnik seminar in Sydney - excellent as always - for low levels like myself kihon tandoku and omote, for the high levels kihon tandoku and okuden (sp?).

In particular he did an excellent job of spreading himself around - everyone got a good amount of one on one critique and commentary to have something to think about.
