A good friend and well regarded Systema affiliate instructor - Brad Scheel - has begun to feel out the possibility of a Systema benefit seminar in Wisconson. The beneficiary? St. Judes Hospital - a facility that provides FREE care for child victims of cancer.
The dates, times and cost are still being worked out. I send this early message to all who might be interested in attending such a charity event over the next couple of months. PM me for more...I will post details as they are firmed up.
I am hoping that he can arrange for a 2 day weekend thing - done in late April or mid-May..if he can do so - I will pack up my Bklyn Bogeyman butt and attend as a co-instructor. I will bring my 'take' on what I have learned and lived by from VV, MR and others of the crew - wrap it up in my Rikers experience - and my Bklyn attitude - and serve it up to the attendees - nice and hot! Ya want it? You will get it!
Look, if your in the area - even if ya gotta travel to get there for the weekend - oh, damn - have you EVER lost someone you loved to this disease?
Have you ever seen a child who was bald, dying - a life so brief -- from cancers grip? Sadly, I have. I cant nor wont allow that memory to be relegated to dusty corners of my mind. If you have - how can you?
Systema.
All about desperately attempting to be a 'good person' - leaving this world better for your having been here. THAT, to me; is the way of the warrior - that, to me; is what this pained human experience NEEDS! PLEASE!
Seriously now. If you can attend, get some good ol down home Systema work from the growing list of volunteer instructors - just look into your heart of hearts, and do so.
"Bulidings burn,
people die.
But real love - it lasts, forever!" Show your love...I frickin dare ya!
I know I sound so 'soft' and mushy here -- I dont care what I sound like.
Consider attending. The cause is very worthwhile.
More details will follow - as I get them.
C'mon!
What the hell else are ya gonna do the weekend chosen that is more 'Systema' than this?
