Fight classes are proceeding as normal at Algonquin College and also at the Plant Baths, on Preston Street at Gladstone, right in the heart of little Italy here in Ottawa.
Basic Course....Algonquin Woodruff Campus, the gym in the "P" building.
Course Code GEN0088. cost for this course is $160.57 incl HST This is a non-credit Algonquin General Interest course, and as such is payable entirely to Algonquin College. (On line or at the Registrar's desk just inside the doors at the Admin building.)
Wednesday evenings, 7 to 9:30, January 18th to February 29th 2012
Course Code GEN 0105 Cost for this course is $160.57 incl HST
Courses are scheduled for Friday evenings, 4th of March to 15th of April. only two days after the basic course ends. We rescheduled it for Wednesday. We have 6 students...just enough to enjoy ourselves. You can come late to this class if you want. Instructor says its okay...grin!
Nice thing about the advanced course...its mostly just practicing and application of the stuff you learn in the basic course, so you can miss one or two classes without fear of falling behind.
Worshops. I can get pretty much any Friday evening in January or February for workshops in Algonquin, and then again Wednesday evenings in March and April. email me at stag@southtower.on.ca and perhaps we can set up some workshops...anything from "armour repair" to "chain maille making" to who knows what....if you have an idea for a topic, let me know, and we can schedule something. Obviously if it involves complex Systema or Juitsu techniques, we will need the gym with the mats....but heck, even if all we have is a pub night...I think I can get behind that!
Algonquin College Registrar's Office is 1385 Woodruff Ave, Rm. C150, Ottawa Ont., K2G 1V8. tel 613-727-0002, or 1-800-565-4723, fax613-727-7754 email AskAlgonquin@algonquincollege.com. But if I am involved, have me do it....
Why go through the college? Now you have to remember, what you get out of the college is this. Algonquin is keeping the lights on, providing free (shoveled) parking and insurance, and providing us with gym, change room and locker space. They have to arrange this attractive gym space with the owners, the Police Services Department. If we don't get eleven or more sign ups, they will not do all the "behind the scenes stuff" which is required to get this course in place. And they need those sign ups a week in advance. If you delay and wait for the day of, they might well cancel the course on us. So don't procrastinate! Call ME if you have problems. 613-821-1846
