Mini Dai Komyo Sai Seminar | Dayton Bujinkan Dojo
The Dayton Bujinkan Dojo is holding its annual mini Dai Komyo Sai Seminar & Party on Saturday, December 11, 2010. What is a Dai Komyo Sai Event? Each December in Japan, Hatsumi Sensei (Bujinkan Soke) celebrates his birthday and another year of training by holding a multi-day training seminar and dinner event called a Dai Komyo Sai Celebration. The Dayton Bujinkan Dojo has been holding its own mini Dai Komyo Sai since 1997! Training takes place during the day, with everyone coming back in the evening for a potluck dinner and celebration! Topics include the student of the year award and discussions about the next year of training. There might even be live music from the DBGBs - and perhaps a special **outdoor** surprise at the awards celebration!
Training will take place from 10:30 am to 4 pm, with a potluck dinner and celebration in the evening starting at 6:30 pm. This is a great end-of-year training event not to be missed! More information coming soon. Save the date!
The seminars below are not held at the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo, but come highly recommended. In general, we recommend seminars being taught by instructors that live(d) in Japan who we have trained with. Most events are within driving distance.
