| Martial arts and science practice is the awareness and study of internal and external energy use as applied to practical self-defense and for the protection of others. This includes both the development of energy in yourself, how it affects your partner and in redirecting forces. Dojo Dancing illuminates this concept to the practitioner by replacing the military aspect of martial arts with exotic martial movements. Eventually, Dojo Dancing is done with one or more partners while keeping the focus on the "energy development". Dojo Dancing is the exciting innovative form of training, which is based on martial arts movements and techniques. It incorporates movements of spinning, dodging, weaving, ducking, aerial jumping, pivoting, stances, barring, blocking, parrying, netting, grappling, punching, elbowing, kicking, kneeing, head butting, joint-locking, Throw fit ins, takedowns, and counters to the above. All the moves are applied against potential striking and body grabbing attacks. There are several levels of Dojo Dancing from beginners with little exercise experience to the advance tenth level, which will give even the professional athlete a workout and the enthusiasm he/she is craving. This is the ultimate workout which combines motivation, breath control, cardio-vascular, muscle strengthening, flexibility, weight control, agility, balance, coordination, relaxation, asceticism, and a great feeling of accomplishment. Dojo Dancing classes is divided into four stages. The first begins with a brief workout of stretching, muscle strengthening and endurance building. The second begins with the student learning the skills to perform the routine. The third is the actual dancing routine played to music. The fourth is the warm-down with slow meditative motions like tai chi with soft moving music. Dojo Dancing is a great way to meet new friends and join with existing friends as it based on cooperative education training. After the initial phases of learning the "routine moves" the Dojo Dancer works with several partners and they learn to feed off of each other's energy. This is what I call "Trenergy" the transferring of positive energy back and forth, which is also used, in holistic preventive care for many healing processes. Upon completion of each set the Dojo Dancer has created their own beautiful story of self-defense which resembles a fast moving choreographed ballet. Eventually they learn to improvise giving the dancer an opportunity for great creativity and working different quadrants in the body and mind. Dojo Dancing will also be promoting a new artistic competition, which will encourage individuals and couples to develop their own routine and would be rated by judges like other dancing and figure ice-skating competitions. The rules and expectations of minimum movements are currently under development. Dojo Dancing is expected to enhance appreciation of martial arts as a serious form of physical and mental fitness along with personal development while having intense enjoyment. After every class the student realizes that they had pushed themselves further than they thought they would but they were having so much fun they didn't even realize it at the time. The student dancer comes away with a great feeling of being physically, mentally, emotionally worked out. Dojo Dancing will be sweeping America as the newest form of fitness/entertainment training. |
