CSP – Monthly Workshops

The past two years has seen Al and CSP run two fantastic 6 month “masterclass” seminar series.

We’ve been blessed to have received great support from both the students attending and the world class guest instructors who have supported the events.

However, after much deliberation, I have decided to strip everything back to the core of what I believe in and that is The Training.

As a result, I will be launching the “CSP Monthly Workshops” starting January 2012

This will be a 4 hour workshop/seminar, once per month, on a continual basis.

Gone will be the extravagant handouts and free giveaway products, and back will be 4 hours of focused and structured training in all of the CSP arts.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Whilst I have never given a grade that I don’t fully support and endorse, I can see how it may be misconstrued that simply attending a set number of sessions will guarantee a qualification with my art – this will now also be Gone!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Any grades awarded to students will be based on an individual merit system, taking into account all factors (experience, martial arts ability, commitment, attitude, support of CSP, humility, etiquette, etc) and not just ability to pay and ability to attend.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

At only £30 per person per session – pricing has been made far more accessible and respectful.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

These workshops will simply be a way for those too remote to attend my weekly classes, to still get to train with me and CSP on a regular basis.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

It’s also a way for fellow instructors to share ideas and forge relationships with CSP where we can all move forwards and affiliate our systems.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

100% commitment will not be required, but regular attendance and support is expected in order to retain your place on the workshops. Numbers will be capped and I’m certain there will be a waiting list.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

One final point… this course is a closed door, invitation only and is being offered initially to those who already train with CSP, those who have trained in the past, and those who are friends of the CSP-Family.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I am blessed to have a great friend in the legendary Wayne Lakin, who has kindly offered the use of his venue to host these seminars. I’ve tried to make the location as central and as fair as possible for those who I know are already interested in attending.

Wayne has also graciously enabled us to make the following offer:

Anyone who is training may bring their partner along to enjoy the other facilities of the Hinckley Leisure Centre. Depending on numbers interested, Wayne will be able to arrange passes for swimming, fitness studio and possibly even private classes such as Spinning, Pilates, Aerobics, etc. There may be a very very small concession required, again depending on numbers interested – please email to let me know.

This absolutely fits in with our CSP Family ethos, and I’m really pleased we can offer this for the martial arts “widows” out there who all support us as we selfishly run off to train with our friends and roll around in padded rooms, wearing lycra and pyjamas…….

Ahem… anyway… If you’re interested in attending and already have links with CSP, please drop me a line.

NB: Some of these dates will also coincide with full guest instructor seminars that we will continue to host throughout the year.

Pay On-Line….. Please Only Do This When You Have Confirmed Your Place Via Invitation from Al

Please Note:
Places will only be secure once payment is received – so paying on the day is no guarantee there’ll be room for you to train
