a non-profit organization
Big Green Drum Japanese Martial Arts is a not-for-profit corporation, and is dedicated to the study and practice of traditional Japanese martial arts.
Arts that we will be demonstrating:
Aikido , or “the way of spiritual harmony”, isa modern martial art and practical form of self-defense that employs blending with an antagonist’s energy and destroying his balance in order to resolve conflict and restore harmony. Students are taught to do the very least damage in order to protect themselves and their assailant. Aikido classes meet Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri from 6:30pm -8:00pm, and Saturday from 10:00-11:30 a.m. Big Green Drum Japanese Martial Arts, 2447 Executive Plaza #5, 479-1907. www.aikidowestflorida.com
Iaijutsu or “sword art” involves drawing and cutting with the traditional sword of the samurai, the katana. Iaijutsu focuses on forms, paired exercises, and test-cutting through rolled straw mats. Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 8:15pm-9:15pm. Big Green Drum Japanese Martial Arts, 2447 Executive Plaza #5, 479-1907 www.aikidowestflorida.com
Judo is a martial art and sport that involves throwing, grappling, and pinning. Judo translates as “the gentle way”, and rather than using brute strength, seeks to use an opponent’s strength and momentum against him. Classes are held every Wednesday from 7:30pm-9:00pm, and Saturday mornings from 8:00am-10:00am. Big Green Drum Japanese Martial Arts, 2447 Executive Plaza #5, 479-1907 www.aikidowestflorida.com
Kendo is the national martial sport of Japan, and is based on the use of the katana, or “Samurai sword” – in fact kendo translates as “way of the sword”. Kendo develops quickness, agility, and mental discipline. Kendo class meets every Wednesday from 6:00pm – 7:30pm.

Breathe Yoga Studio
Guided Yoga with Sandra Sanford and Linda Kramer of Breathe Yoga
Breathe Yoga Studio director Sandra Sanford will be guiding a morning session which will
include centering, deep breathing techniques (pranayama), warm up

invite as many participants as possible to join them.
Beginning at 10:00 AM, the session will probably last about 30-45 minutes. What an uplifting way to welcome the day! The session will be held on the deck surrounding the Community Center (come to the front door then look to the right) on Bayou Texar.
