Jan 23, "Pimples" on my lip

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:08:04 GMT

In the last few months I've developed probably four sores on my lip. I get my upper lip threaded every few weeks, so I don't know if it's because of that

Jan 11, "Will 2012 Be Your Best Year Yet?"

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:59:28 GMT

Of course... if you really want it! Did you make any new years resolutions at the end of 2011? If you did, how serious are you about achieving them in 2012? Most people have a vague idea about a goal they would like to reach. But when it comes to the effort required, just let it go and return to just dealing with what comes up in their lives. This is a type of victim mentality where life goals will always remain dreams that are unfulfilled... It doesn't have to be that way! Lots of people fail to plan their path through life, and just deal with each event as it arrives. This is a very ineffective way of living, and often leaves people looking back on their lives with regret. You can take control, plan your strategy, and develop a blueprint. This will add powerful energy to your dreams, desires, and life goals! Why should you set goals? Because high-performance people set goals. Successful people make detailed plans that they must achieve... will you join them? What you think and feel YOU will become!

Dec 24, "Will 2012 Be Your Best Year Ever?"

Sat, 24 Dec 2011 22:34:51 GMT

It is quickly approaching the end of 2011, and I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. I suppose that's what happens when you are busy. But busy doing what? Maybe, like me, you find that you are often not as efficient as you could be. Do you find it difficult to stay focused on your goals? Have you planned your life goals blueprint yet? Yes, great! No... now is the time to write down your new years resolutions. Why should you set goals? Because high-performance people set goals. Successful people have already decided on their target! Lots of people fail to plan their path through life, and just deal with each event as it arrives. This is a very ineffective way of living, and often leaves people looking back on their lives with many regrets. What you think and feel YOU will become! Doubt, fear, anger, and lack of belief can block your path, so believe in yourself, and let go of any negative thoughts and feelings. By releasing these negative thoughts and feelings, as they come up, in the present moment, you'll be able to free yourself from worry and fear. It is widely recognised by health experts that stress causes about 75% of all dis-ease, and it is mainly caused by poor lifestyle choices. 92% of Worries are Unnecessary... 40% never happen. 30% have already happened and cannot be changed. 12% are needless about health. 10% are petty miscellaneous. 8% are genuine. Successful people make a blueprint with step-by-step goals that they must achieve... will you join them? Follow these 3 simple steps... 1 - Think about what you truly want out of life. 2 - Make a list of the steps to get there. 3 - Take massive action on each step. Decide to change your habits, and face them head on by refusing to be controlled by them. Fill the gaps with good habits that you enjoy. Make a list of your goals in order of importance. Imagine them complete and list the exact steps to get there. Take Massive Action on each step until you have completed it, then work on the next, one-by-one. Add power to your intention by calmly holding the image of your goal in your mind, imagine and feel it coming true. Don't allow your mind to wander aimlessly, your thoughts must be clear and precise. Breathe deeply, and relax! When you are calm and relaxed, it becomes much easier to concentrate, focus on, and achieve your goals. So, now YOU have your life goals listed in order of importance... right? When should you start? Right NOW, of course! If not now... when? 2012 Can Be Your Best Year Ever! Warmest Regards Tony Wilden

Nov 15, "Arun Aikido Club Grading on 24th November 2011"

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:19:30 GMT

On Thursday 24th November the Arun Aikido Club in Bognor Regis UK, have 3 juniors and 3 adults attempting to pass their 6th kyu green belt. Over the last few months , thet have been working on their techniques. And for several weeks... that is all they have been working on. In fact, I would go as far as to say that some of them are sick of it... Well, it had to be said :) We have built them up with encouragement, and broken them down with criticism. The carrot and the stick are getting a bit worn out. Will they be ready? Can they be ready? You see, we have very high standards, and only offer gradings to students who have the skills to pass it. But, under pressure, these skills tend to be reduced, where simple things are forgotten. Which is what is likely to happen in a violent street attack. That's why it's important to pressure test our skills, in a variety of different formats! Gradings Show Instructors... 1 - How many mat hours a student has practised... with focus! 2 - How much they have practised their postures at home. 3 - How much they have practised mentally. Not just worrying about the stress of grading, but positive visualisation of a successful performance. I'm sure that many of you have been through difficult grading experiences, but there are several great ways to ensure that your grading preparations are far more effective. Knowing and being able to perform your techniques well is essential. But your mental and emotional training is equally as important.

Nov 1, "Knowledge... Continue to Learn or Get Left Behind!"

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 14:48:51 GMT

My life studies have focused mainly on health, well-being and spirituality, and my interest in Aikido was an extension of that. I became fascinated with the life of Morihei Ueshiba (aikido founder), and relentlessly studied the art through books, videos, dojo training, etc. After several years I reached black belt and began teaching. The Arun Aikido Club in West Sussex UK, offers juniors and adults unique classes in basic, advanced, and applied Aikido with a focus on the aiki principles that make the techniques more effective. But, a nagging doubt finally took me on a new path of discovery. You see, Aikido developed from Aikijujutsu, and many aspects of the training were left behind in order to focus on developing aiki skills. This included how to correctly use atemi strikes. As I already had a good knowledge of pressure points for healing, I wanted to learn how to use them in aikido. But, apart from a few simple strikes to distract an attacker, atemi is just not taught anymore. For many instructors and students the art focuses more on harmony, self-development, spirituality, partner work, etc. Which, by the way, I agree with! But martial comes before art, and the techniques must be effective. Many aikido students have pressure tested their skills in a variety of ways and found them lacking. In fact, traditional martial arts are often thought of as ineffective, when it comes to real fighting. Do you want to think you can defend yourself or actually be able to? This is why I studied pressure point atemi strikes, and how to use them effectively. In 2010 I completed an intense Pressure Point Self Defence Instructor course with master Russell Stutely. In 2011 I completed an SIA Door Supervisor/Security Guard course and have recently been working as a retail security guard. I may also take on some club and pub door supervisor work again... if I can tolerate loud music and lots of obnoxious people. Can Aikido, pressure points and self defence skills be used under pressure? I may be about to find out! Of course only as a last resort and by using the minimum amount of force to take control... right :) Is Aikido effective? I would love to hear... Your Opinion! Ok... speak to you soon!

Oct 2, "Aikido Demonstration in Bognor Regis, West Sussex UK!"

Sun, 02 Oct 2011 09:47:40 GMT

Instructors and students of the Arun Aikido Club gave another successful Aikido demonstration yesterday. The demo took place at Norfolk Gardens, opposite the seafront in Bognor Regis, for the popular Birdman Rally event. I was a little concerned for the students, as it was a very hot day. Often in these circumstances our mats get too hot to stand on, but no problem, as we waited until the last minute before laying them out. We performed a series of aikido breakfalls, basic postures and techniques. My demonstrations included basic and 'applied' techniques which got a series of ooh's, ahh's, and clapping... some spectators thought it was a pantomime ;) When I say applied techniques it means my uke's will suffer for the art... sorry Robin. I learnt this from my Sensei, who didn't want the general public to think that Aikido is not an effective art! Many thanks to Robin Wilden, Natasha Wilden, Christopher Bradbury, Robert Bradbury, and Samuel Wilden for their support... it is much appreciated! The Arun Aikido Club has been very active this summer in promoting the art of Aikido. We have taken part in several events including...

The Bognor Carnival.

Middleton Fete.

Hotham Park Country Fair.

Aiki Peace Week.

4 Self Defence Seminars.

Bognor Birdman Rally.

Thanks again to those members who were able to support us...

Sep 25, "Aiki Peace Seminars - Success Story!"

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:41:12 GMT

On thursday, I presented 2 special Aikido classes for the Aiki Extensions Aiki Peace Week initiative. Both classes went well and our juniors and adults took part in a variety of ways to practise the art of Aikido. Including...

a focus on helping our training partners.

new perspectives on understanding techniques.

special Aiki exercises as practised by O'Sensei.

spotlighting the importance of relaxation and enjoying practise.

breath control, meditation, and visualisation... with Tibetan bell.

inspiring Japanese music.

question & answer session.

It was a truly unique event covering many aspects of Aikido that general classes just don't have time for. Of course, students can study a variety of these principles by taking private lessons I supply a comfortable environment, safety mats, experienced training partner, and quality instruction on aikido, principles, self defence, etc. Although we did a lot of promotion for our Aiki Peace Seminars, the response was rather limited... a little better than last years seminar. Of course, the lucky students who attended got more benefit :) We raised £50 for the Aiki Extensions Israel/Palestine initiative. Other events coming up are...

Aug 13, "Hotham Park Country Fair Aikido Demonstrations"

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 11:19:49 GMT

Last weekend members of the Arun Aikido Club gave 4 hours of Aikido demonstrations in Bognor Regis West Sussex UK. More than 10,000 people visited the Hotham Park Country Fair. There were lots of interested spectators who enjoyed our demo's and asked questions. My main uke got a little 'roughed up' as usual. We want the general public to get a positive impression of the art of Aikido. Not only see how we blend with an attackers energy, but also effective techniques. Our outdoor mats are much thinner and tend to separate as we demo our aikido techniques. This was especially the case on the sunday because the grass was wet from early morning rain. Aikido teaches us to be flexible and learn how to adapt to changing circumstances. So, whatever comes up, we find a way to deal with it. Many thanks to the Arun Aikido Club instructors and students who took part... Robin Wilden, Natasha Wilden, Arion Gadd, Christopher Bradbury, Robert Bradbury, Samuel Wilden, and Aruna Gibson. Thanks also to members who passed out leaflets, and to Zoe Gibson for taking 700+ photo's. Many can be seen on my Facebook Page I will also be including these on my Aikido Health Centre website very soon. Do you know of anyone who can help us in our promotions?

Jul 18, "Aikido Demonstration a Washout!"

Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:48:40 GMT

Both of our Aikido demonstrations were cancelled due to poor weather. The Bognor Birdman Rally could not take place due to health & safety issues. It has now been re-scheduled for the end of August 2011. It's a real shame, but shows that mother nature is in control. To check out the Arun Aikido Club events... Click Here Ok... speak to you soon.

Jul 15, "Aikido Demonstrations on 16th and 17th July 2011. Near the Pier at the Bognor Regis Birdman Rally Event!"

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:15:29 GMT

The Arun Aikido Club are giving two unique Aikido demonstrations this weekend, as part of the Bognor Regis Birdman Rally. The Birdman Rally is a yearly event that involves people dressed in outrageous costumes and makeshift aeroplanes (without engines). Then entrants have to stand at the end of the pier and leap off. The winner is the person who flies the furthest before plunging into the sea. It sounds crazy doesn't it? The organisers also like to book several other events to take place in the surrounding area. This helps to attract the 1000's of visitors that come every year to watch the mayhem. This is where the Arun Aikido Club get the opportunity to demonstrate the art of Aikido. Of course we also give out leaflets to attract students. Our demo is at Waterloo Square at 2-3pm on saturday 16th and on Sunday 17th we will be at the Royal Norfolk Gardens at 11.45am-12.45pm. We would love to see you there and answer your questions. Ok... speak to you soon. Tony Tony Wilden

Jun 23, "Self Defence Seminar - Review!"

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:25:50 GMT

Our unique 3 hour self defence seminar went very well, even though the numbers were a little low... lucky students ;) We didn't cover complex techniques that take months to learn, but proven methods to deal with aggressive, bigger and stronger attackers. They learnt the theory, principles, and more importantly, practical training on how to easily protect themselves and stay safe. Students learnt how to...

Use a traffic light awareness system.

Use a protective fence.

BAR (body alarm reaction)

Easily unbalance an attacker.

Almost double your power.

pressure points that work.

Plus... a lot more!

Our self defence seminars are designed to give participants the very best tips on how to successfully protect themselves. These methods are taught to police, security, door supervisors, military, etc. Why? Because they are easy to apply, require little practise, and... They WORK! Our next Self Defence Seminar in Bognor Regis, West Sussex UK is on the 27th July 2011 at 7.00-10.00pm - Fee: £20 (£15 aac members). For more information and to book your place visit... Self Defence Seminar We only have 10 places available, so book now to avoid disappointment! Ok... speak to you soon. Tony Tony Wilden

Jun 17, "Unique Glastonbury Visit"

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 17:30:09 GMT

My Wife Josephine and I have just returned from a fantastic 2 night break in Glastonbury, Somerset UK. We went with my brother Terry and his wife Sarah. Not only did they pay for the whole trip, but also chauffeured us there and back... a generous xmas gift! Glastonbury is notable for the myths and legends surrounding Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail, and King Arthur. It is a centre for religious tourism and pilgrimage, with lots of alternative shops and healing practices. We stayed at the excellent Chestnuts B&B at the foot of the famous Glastonbury Tor, which is a steep hill that features St. Michael's Tower. On the Monday evening we hiked up to the top of the Tor, which took around 30 minutes. It offered an excellent view of the surrounding area. On Tuesday we visited... Glastonbury Abbey, which is thought to be the oldest above-ground Christian church in the world... very inspiring! Also the Chalice Well Gardens - which surround a holy well that has been in use for over 2,000 years. Water flows from the spring at a rate of 25,000 gallons per day, and is believed to possess healing qualities. On the Tuesday evening we met up with family that we hadn't seen for a few years. We had a great meal and drinks, while catching up on the news. On Wednesday we visited Glastonbury town centre and looked around the many alternative shops, before making our way home via Shaftsbury, a lovely town that is steeped in history and tradition. It was a good job we did plenty of walking while away, because the food was excellent. We returned from Glastonbury refreshed and renewed. Thanks Terry & Sarah!

Jun 3, "The Arun Aikido Club Is Growing... Again!"

Fri, 03 Jun 2011 13:52:15 GMT

I opened the Arun Aikido Club in 1992 and closed it in 2007 after 15 years of offering Aikido to the community. A decline in student no's convinced me that the time was right, but there were several other reasons. I re-opened the Club in 2010, after several months of intense personal training. This also led me to qualifying as a pressure point self defence instructor under master Russell Stutely. The club has been active again for almost a year now, and we are offering a wide variety of training to our students, and the wider community... 1 - aikido yoshinkan junior and adult classes.
2 - unique aiki principles seminars.
3 - effective self defence seminars.
4 - private lessons to fast-track skills.
5 - lectures and demonstrations. Our students have had to train on a very limited mat space, which has been very effective for developing their awareness. But, as our membership is continuing to grow we decided it was time to increase this. Last night we trained on a combination of new and old mats. The new mats reminded us of how 'firm' the older mats used to be ;) Our adult student numbers have grown, but our junior classes are still rather small. We have recently had a couple of articles in the local newspapers, which developed some interest... but not enough. I am pleased with the progress we are making with the Arun Aikido Club, but growth is a little slower than I expected. In our efforts to expand, and recover some of our expenses, it's time to focus on our marketing with the same precision we apply to techniques. I will soon be asking members to help us with our marketing strategy take a more active role in helping us recruit new students. I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have to help us improve student numbers? Kindly give me your important opinion... Click Here Ok... speak to you soon! Tony Tony Wilden
