Re: Events!
Vannessave, thanks for the info about JSN and Nisei Week!
I hope I can make it to this year's Nisei Week in Little Tokyo! I've went for the ondo dancing and the closing ceremonies for the last couple of years, but it sounds fun to go for some of the other days as well. I hope I'll be able to make it this year.

Cost: $110 pre-registered
$130 at door
Contact Steve Bellamy 310-574-2941
a bit about Shindo Muso Ryu Jojutsu from the webshite
www.shindomusoryu.com
Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo is comprised of the 12 Kihon, 64 Kata, many Henka waza (Variations of kata), and several other assimilated martial art schools (Fuzoku Ryuha) in addition to the tachi, resulting in a deep and complex discipline. Jodo is considered one of the most difficult martial arts because there is simply so much to learn.
The Kihon are derived from Kata, and were developed and implemented into the training curriculum by Shimizu Sensei. Jodo techniques were created to counter the strengths of other weapons. Therefore, when practicing Kata, it always appears that the Uchidachi, tachi wielder, is defeated

Grand Ave Festival Just wanted to thank you for the Korean Festival reminder. I had no idea it was this weekend. Fortunately we were able to make it there. Bought some CDs, lots of food, saw some of the performances and we're happy.
This made our 3rd year and I do recommend it.

Re: Events!
Thanks for that info, Sylia74. Yeah, the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana has some really fascinating exhibits. Late last year, they had an exhibit showcasing some of the actual Chinese tera cotta warriors from the Qin dynasty. I didn't get to attend until the very last day of the exhibit, so it was extremely packed and I didn't get to see everything, but what I did get to see was fascinating. I'll see if I can make a trip down to Santa Ana next month to see the Japanese samurai art exhibit.
