KIDO RYU INTERNATIONAL CAMP II
Chaguanas, Trinidad, West Indies
Saturday, March 27 to Saturday, April 3, 2010
*****
My Course Offerings for this visit:.
First, I work with students
ages 3 yrs to 6 1/2, 7 to 12, 13 to 16, 17 to adult, we also work with
Seniors, and Private Clients.
Please speak to me regarding arrangements for "Women Only" classes if necessary.
We will try our best to respect all cultures in the execution of our work.
I also accept students of all challenges and skill levels.
I do not discriminate against color, race, religion or past exprerience.
I also do not give honorary ranks.
All of my students are trained by me personally.
I will cover subjects in Hapkido/Tae kwon do such as KIDO
Flexibility Sets
(floor stretches, Bar Stretches, Moving Stretches, and Partner Stretches),
Chambering the hands and legs, Pivoting, Postures
and Stance work, Internal Breathing Patterns of KIDO, Conditioning drills,
the Original KIDO 13 Self Defense Techniques, Bow staff and Escrima Forms.
In Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, I will cover and present
the Iron Shirt, Yi Jin Jing, Damo's Static Postures, the
Stance Work and Combination Drills of the Shaolin Temple that I trained
in.
In Aiki Skills, I will present the KIDO Set of Rolls & Falls, 7
Judo Throws, Reaps, Sweeps, Come-a-longs, and Course #1 The combination of the Rolls & Falls, Throws, Locks, and strikes
as used for Self Defense purposes.
I will also offer my KIDO Course called "Control without
Excessive Force". A course developed in the Dojo and proposed by me for use to the Police
Department of Puerto Rico in 2007. My next Course Offering is called: Interchangeable Technique
& Transitional Footwork...a course I developed for in the Dojo use. It is intended to nurture the cooperation of
the partners through synchronicity of the breath, movements, and applications. Training the students in a safe and cooperative
manner. This allows the students to become more knowledgeable of the self through working with partners to develope
their skills together. If I know me, I know you. This course ends with a Show and Tell time with the partners.
This allows the students to combine the training with the art they are already studying and leads to self expression.
Regarding "Morning Tai Chi"...this offering will begin with
#18 Set of Chi Kung we do daily, each exercise drill will be displayed, and broken down at presentation, these are moving
energy exercises. next we will present the Forms and Postures of Morning Tai Chi, their use and
applications, concepts such as Solid, Empty, Walking Drills, Fan Style
#1, Sword Forms #1 & #7, Push Hands Drills
(stationary & moving) (single & double hand drills)
All those artist wishing to discuss joining our KIDO RYU International
organization for the purposes of accessing the Knowledge, Dojo Charters and
memberships will please contact me.
I appreciate your precious time and thank you in advance for your support and help.

Sensei Vincent Nero
Director/Chief Instructor
"Falcon Martial Arts Academy"
has become part of the
KIDO RYU International
...a martial arts organization whose
mission statement is to share Martial knowledge to all receptive to its expression.
Since 1970 we have been serving the Brooklyn community.
We have always supported community based artist that nurture the community
they live in. These days our community has grown to unimaginable proportions.
Thanks to the receptivity of the local instructors we have met around
the world, at competitions, seminars, cross-trainings, hall of fame events, etc. we have been able to enjoy sharing our expression
and also we have had the pleasure to enjoy other expressions on our travels. We have so much in common.
Regardless of what is said when someone inquires
about classes,
I always hear the main theme:
"I want to improve the quality of my life"
or the life of a loved one.
In the past we have worked successfully with the
Ministry of Education as well as with the Ministry of Sports & Youth
Affairs ( in Trinidad) to bring in talented Master level Teachers of the Martial Arts to teach martial arts to the youth
of Trinidad & Tobago. Through our work with the Black Hawks Martial Arts Network over the years we have been instrumental
in upgrading the level of competency of the athletes' of this country to successfully compete on the international stage.
Grand Master Christopher Francis and Professor Ruben Torres have worked together for years to build a network of continuing
education for the martial artists in the Caribbean.
These days the KIDO RYU are moving
forward to develope their own students in the Caribbean.
Professor Francis and Master Kevin Hufford have successfully promoted
their Pan-Caribbean International Martial Arts Championships every year in October.
The KIDO RYU will be supportive of their events
which is in-line with our past support of the Black Hawks organization.
As a matter of fact,
All are welcome at the
KIDO RYU SEMINARS and Events.
The only events scheduled for this year that
are exclusively for the Falcon Martial Arts Academy
will be the
"Basic Foundation Introductions"
conducted by
Sensei Kurt Pitt & Professor Ruben Torres
&
Sensei Jean Therency
***Schools wishing to participate or have their own private seminars with Prof. Torres should
make contact via email with Prof. Torres kidoryu_jujitsu@hotmail.com
It has been three years since Professor Ruben
Torres has returned to Trinidad to work with the students .
In March, The Falcon Martial Arts Academy will have its first visit from
Sensei Kurt Pitt/KIDO Martial Arts instructor.
(March 20, 2009)
He is a native of Trinidad and has trained in KIDO with
Professor Ruben Torres since 1995.
Sensei Pitt will introduce the basic foundation of the
KIDO Martial Arts Center based
out of Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A.
His KIDO TOTS, KIDO KIDS, KIDO TEENS, AND KIDO ADULT classes were
always well attended.
It was always Sensei Kurt Pitt and Sensei Jean Therency that conducted
classes at the
KIDO DOJO during Prof. Torres's absence.
Sensei Kurt Pitt's most recent representation
of
KIDO RYU
was at the
2008 NAFMA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
at Mt. Laurel, New Jersey last November 2007
where he fought all fighters on the Canadian Team and Team USA in the
Point Sparring Mens Division 35 years old and over, and was awarded the Gold Medal for First Place.
Sensei Vincent Nero is the current Representative for
KIDO RYU International in Trinidad.
We have many friends and associations in Trinidad, but this is the first
program developed to nurture KIDO RYU in the country.
It is our shared dream and goal to bring the
KIDO RYU System
to the students of
Falcon Martial Arts Academy
as well as to all receptive to our expression.
