What is CUT THE CANCER? An exhilarating and innovative course given to cancer patients and their care givers designed to help them in their fight with cancer. The purpose of this course is to give the student the physical and
mental skills necessary to utilize the tenets of Budo (martial
way) in their fight with cancer. We will do this through the study
of the physical and philosophical aspects of Aikido. Our Mission Statement: To strengthen and transform oneself, creating breakthroughs of physical and mental barriers, allowing acceptance of the challenge of conquering cancer. This provides the hope and fortitude necessary to turn the physical experience into a preventative way of life.

Why Study a Martial Art? “Why study the martial arts? A true martial artist does not
train to only defeat others. He trains also to defeat the enemies inside
himself, the enemies we all have. He trains to forge his life into
something beautiful, something helpful to the world. He wishes not
to draw a sword, but to put it away-once and for all. Fumio Toyoda Shihan

What is Aikido? A non-combative Japanese martial art that teaches one to restore harmony in conflictive issues through the study of Budo (martial way). The word Aikido means "the way of harmonizing energy". How does the program work? The program is a study of Aikido principles designed to
foster the coordination of physical
and
mental
strength. This can be taught in a series of 4 hour workshops, an 8
week session format, or in an on-going class format. Each class will
involve stretching/strengthening exercises,
bokken
(wooden
sword) practice, and Zen meditation. |
Why practice with the Bokken (wooden sword)? “The sword that takes life can be the sword that gives life. Through our training we cut ourselves and our fear, which is to say that we see ourselves for what we truly are. Then we can wield the great sword, our existence, our life, correctly”. Fumio Toyoda Shihan Who can take the classes? Anybody that has been given approval by their doctor for physical exercise. We also recommend that the care giver of the patient be involved as well. |
What will the students learn? By taking this course the students will be taught to: Be physically
fit to fight cancer With the ultimate understanding that you: Believe that you can conquer cancer! |
