A general message to let people know that, through Goshinkan Byron Bay, we have organised a combined gift for Maruyama sensei for presentation in Hawaii. The gift is a scroll with a specially written poem composed by 3 Yuishinkai senseis attempting to crystalise something of Yuishinkai spirit and Australian connection. The poem below has been translated into Japanese and is contained in a decorated indigenous emu caller.
Steam breath, rising sun
Positive mind lifting ken
How long is the way?
Dreamtime lizard skimming pond
Ancient wisdom's journey
Humid moon, ken falling
Lizard still in shadow dance
Lizard still in shadow dance
Pelican wing gliding
. . .
We hope you approve.

Please find attached the details for Maruyama Sensei's Sept, October Seminar in Brisbane 2007. The Australian seminar series this year will be held in Brisbane and Melbourne and I would like you to consider adding the Brisbane seminar to your itinerary.
Last year we had a fabulous turnout with aikidoka from all around the country and a few from overseas joining us for the weekend. This year the seminar runs for the better part of six days in a much roomier venue just 8km from the city centre. Set in a rural aspect it also features an outdoor bar (for those serious apre training conversations). During each day there will be 5 hours of teaching by Maruyama sensei plus some social activities and instructor workshops (run by AY instructors) as well.
Many Brisbane students are so keen to have you visit that they will even give you somewhere to stay - please contact our billeting man Tony Sensei if you are interested (see registration form for details)
Seminar registration includes a discount for out of town students that have far to travel and an early bird discount if you register early enough. Registration includes lunches for each day and the seminar dinner as well. Some pictures from last years seminar and dinner can be found on http://brisbaneaikido.com/gallery/Maruyama2006/Maruyama2006.html
Online registration available http://brisbaneaikido.com/maruyama2007.html where more details on the seminar can also be found
best wishes and look forward to seeing you there,danny
