Ohana Dojo: The Guardian Quest Manual: Guardian Kempo Kajuko Do: Karate, Jujutsu, Kobujutsu (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781661473297)

Written specifically for prospective Guardian Martial Arts students applying to train at Grandmaster Conway's Ohana Dojo. The Ohana Dojo Manual is organized into simple sets of ten, ten chapters per section, if you will - though the chapters are often as short as a single page. It's meant to be quick reading and an easy reference. The first eight sections are organized in sets of ten. There are Ten to Consider that apply specifically to the Ohana Dojo. Then Ten to Decide are ideas that are useful to know in order to decide whether or not to apply to train in the Guardian Martial Arts at Grandmaster Conway's Ohana Dojo. Once you've decided to train, the next are Ten Before You Train. Since you've likely already started classes when you get this book, these are things to look into right away. The next three sections are belt by belt. White, then Advanced White, and finally Yellow Belt ten-sets are covered. These are simple concepts and things to understand during your first-year training. By the time you've completed Yellow Belt, you've been training for about a year, so by the end of the first year, you should be familiar with first five sections of this book. You should also be reading and/or listening to the topics in the books of your art(s): Karate, Jujutsu, and/or Kobujutsu. By the end of two years in each art, you should have been through the entire book or books. This manual also has a section on leadership with Ten Leadership Principles. This is an important section for anyone with responsibility to lead at the dojo and is an excellent precursor to completing the Leadership Program. Another ten lessons for Guardians (serious students of the Guardian Martial Arts) completes the picture. After that, you'll find some history of the arts and the founder, followed by appendices. Appendix A has all the material for the kid classes, and Appendix B has some helpful material for parents of Guardian Kid Class students. The other appendices have supplemental material for deeper exploration of a few key topics. They are appendices because they are not required reading, but they are useful.It's pretty straight-forward and good reference material. By the time you work your way through this book and apply what you know, you'll already be on your way to martial arts excellence. Combine it with the insights from the manuals relevant to your individual choices for arts to study, and you will find it a powerful system for personal growth.
