2019 Nov 21:  Free MAC workshop on Body Intelligence and Injury Prevention





Dear MAC members and friends,

Makati Aikido Club members and their friends are invited to a free workshop on Body Intelligence and Injury Prevention. Participants will gain insights into the workings of the human body, with an emphasis on injury prevention. The mini-seminar will also give insights into more efficient movement.

This workshop will be held on Thursday, November 21, at our Makati Sports dojo, right after the regular 1830 - 2000 aikido class. Ms. Joanne Ignacio, an E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, NASM certified personal trainer, and ISSA Corrective Exercise Specialist, will conduct the workshop.


DETAILS:

1. Date and starting time:   20:10 hrs (8:10 pm), 2019 November 21


2. Duration:  30 to 40 minutes


3. Workshop resource speaker:  Joanne Ignacio, who is also an aikidoist


4. Who may attend:  MAC members and any friends they may wish to invite. (Attendance at the aikido class prior to the workshop is NOT required.)


5. Registration fee:  No charge.


6. Requirement for participation:  Please bring an extra t-shirt to wear during the workshop. Ideally the dogi top should not be worn, because is too bulky, obscures the body contours too much, and will therefore be deleterious to the exercises and analysis to be undertaken.


7. To register:  Please email joannelignacio@gmail.com to confirm your attendance.


8. Workshop topics:  Below is the syllabus of Ms. Ignacio's complete course. Obviously, not all of the topics in the below syllabus can be taken up in this 30- to 40-minute introductory course. Therefore subsequent workshops will be scheduled to cover the topics not taken up on November 21.
