Aikido & Survival Skill Outdoor Training Seminar at Rose's Retreat
Fri Sep 17, 2010 to Sun Sep 19, 2010 
Location: 52808 County Road 384, Grand Junction, MI 49056 (view map)
Aikido & Survival Skill Outdoor Training Seminar
Instructed by David Rose
This unique seminar combines Aikido training, nature awareness, and wilderness survival in the natural setting of beautiful southwest Michigan.

Sensei David Rose is a 4th degree black belt in Aikido and was an Uchideshi (live in student) and Kenshusei under Shihan Fumio Toyoda. Sensei Rose has also had extensive wilderness survival training through a professional Tracker School by Tom Brown Jr.

Join us for an exciting weekend, immersing yourself in nature for aikido training, weapons practice, and introductory classes in wilderness survival. Learn the sacred order of survival: how to construct shelter, make fire, prepare water, and find food. Tired of watching all the frustrated Survivors try to make fire? Learn to make fire using a bow drill. Without water, dehydration can set in very rapidly. Learn how to find and prepare water in order to make it drinkable. Participants will learn how to make primitive drinking vessels and how to boil water using primitive techniques. Find, identify, and prepare edible and medicinal plants. Learn how to identify animal habitats, create simple traps and snares. Basic hunting and tracking techniques will be taught, as well as identification of different animals based on their tracks and other signs of their passing.
