2. Aunkai Bujutsu
Date: Feb 3 (Sun)
Time: 6.00pm-8.30pm
Admission: $100 (pay on entry)
For those looking to take up a unique martial art most people wouldn't have heard of, Bujutsu may well be your new hobby.
Roughly translating to "martial" or "war" techniques, the underlying philosophy behind Bujutsu is "kill or be killed". Generally speaking, what you will learn is highly functional and aimed to overcome your opponent as efficiently as possible- perhaps wholly antithetical to something like Capoeira.
At a pretty economical rate of $100 per lesson, you can equip yourself with the technique and nous to defend yourself from anyone attempting to cause you bodily harm, as well as getting fitter with every passing session. A win-win if you ask me!
