These classes focus on weapon practice. Many aikido techniques have their origin in weapons handling and thus are related with Japanese weapon arts like Kendo. Using a weapon as an extension of the hand, it generates higher impact speed and creates different danger and distance perception. On the other side, perfection of cuts and draws is a very meditational and focused practice. Despite danger, the mind should stay clear and movements should be very precise. As a result of weapons training, students polish their hands and body technique – with more precise movement, coordination and martial awareness. These are the main aspects of the classes: * Iaido * Jodori * Kenjutsu * Tantodori ### **Booking Information** * Please contact **98225900** to find out how to book this class. * The instructor will reach out to you once you've booked the class ### **Cancellation Policy** Credits will be considered used if class is cancelled within 24 hours before the start of the lesson

**🛠️ *The Relentless Fellowship*** **A fraternity for entrepreneurs who never clock out and are always too busy building to waste time.** This is the 3rd session of The Relentless Fellowship. In December 2025, the host will be Nicholas. His profile is as follows: Nicholas Chan is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of practical experience building, operating, and fixing businesses across multiple stages. He has founded and led companies, worked in early stage venture investing, and advised founders on execution, structure, and survival. As the organizer of the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network, he brings together serious operators who value effort, discipline, and results. His work reflects a long term commitment to building real businesses rather than pursuing clout, trend-chasing or shortcuts. After 24 years of running the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network, I’ve met all types of founders. Many wear the title of entrepreneur like cosplay where they are always chasing grants, investments and attention while building up their image instead of focusing on results. Others are corporate or government staff trying to play-act as entrepreneurs on the side while doing their very best to slack off, do nothing and go nowhere. But there are the very rare few who are actually “in the trenches”, the real hardcore entrepreneurs I have had conversations and collaborations with, **always** **working 12 to 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year** consistently building with driven focus, a constant sense of urgency and disciplined commitment to their mission. They don’t chase clout. They don’t have time for bullshit small talk. They have zero tolerance for political correctness and lies. They are most certainly not caught up in the never ending chase to create clickbait content in their never ending quest of famewhoring. More than anything, they crave meaningful connection and fostering deep collaboration with other similarly hard charging individuals who understand first-hand the true demands of the entrepreneurial vocation. *"It is hard to find other entrepreneurs who actually “get it”.”* *“ I’m not here to waste time with time wasters. I’m here to build."* *"I want to collaborate with my peers, not waste my time with “tourists” and “wannabes”."* So, this is my answer for them and myself. *** **🔧 Introducing: *The Relentless Fellowship*** This is a **private support group and collaboration circle** for serious, mission-driven workaholic entrepreneurs who obsessively live and breathe their work. Not a speaker panel. Not a pitch night. Not a parade of LinkedIn personalities. No bullshit about work-life balance. No political correctness or woke bullshit. This is about finding and being amongst other similarly driven entrepreneurs. This is a fellowship, not a networking event. A workaholic support group, not a place to wayang. Just real conversations and profitable collaborations formed over dinner with fellow entrepreneurs who: * Show up, not just in business but in how they treat others. * Share knowledge, experience, perspective and opportunities. Not just take take take. * Respect time, commitments and the opportunity to connect with high-calibre fellow entrepreneurs to build lasting collaborations. This is a space for **mutual support**, **shared energy** and **zero woke political correctness**. *** **📅 The Format** * Held on **Tuesday or Thursday evenings**, hosted at a fellow entrepreneur’s office. * **Capped at 8 attendees (including the host)** to protect the quality of conversation and connection. * **Bring your own packed dinner**; drinks provided from the host’s pantry. * Nicholas, the host of the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network will personally host the **first 3 to 6 gatherings**, after which other members may group up and volunteer their office space to continue the series if they so desire. * If there is demand, more Relentless Fellowship chapters will be spun off and run by other committed entrepreneur hosts. *** ### 🔒 Expression of Interest For the month of December 2025, the host will be Nicholas. Please WhatsApp him at **+65 9488 9683** with the following details: 1. Indicate your interest in attending. 2. Provide your **name, company name, and a short intro** (either what your company does or what new venture you’re starting). 3. Confirm if you are open to meeting **over dinner on the 4th Friday of the month**. From there, you’ll be contacted directly once dates and details are set. *** **If you’ve been quietly carrying the weight of your business, building quietly, working relentlessly and ready to meet others walking the same to band up in building together stronger, better and faster, the Relentless Fellowship is for you.** **No speeches. No spectators. No wokeness. Just builders.**

**About the experience: 🍃༄** Winding things down in December creates the perfect rhythm to immerse yourself in nature. This practice of **natural embodiment** **is a not a hike nor is it meant to be therapy** \- it is a slow\, reflective\, and embodied practice\. During the session, we move at an unhurried pace and pause often. Through nature-inspired invitations, such as listening to the sand, holding a natural object, or resting in stillness — we allow nature to meet us where we are, without trying to fix or force anything. This practice draws on somatic awareness, gentle attention, and non-linear exploration. Experiences may feel calming, emotional, grounding, or quietly insightful — each person’s experience will be different. There is no expectation to perform, share, or achieve anything. You are welcome to arrive exactly as you are. This session is open to anyone who feels drawn to slow down and listen — to themselves, to nature, and to what emerges in the space between. 🌳 **Date:** Saturday, 27 December 2025 **Time:** 5.30pm-7:00pm **Location:** Starbucks - Parkland Green, East Coast Park **Registration:** Through [meetup.com](http://meetup.com/) or Eventbrite **On donations:** A recommended donation of $20 has been established for this event. Learning from past events, it was suggested that a flat fee was given so that things are simpler, so here I am trying that! **Socials:** [https://www.instagram.com/terence.with.nature/](https://www.instagram.com/terence.with.nature/) [https://www.youtube.com/@OnThePaths](https://www.youtube.com/@OnThePaths) Feel free to look at my posts - it will give you more information on my approach :) My youtube channel is also available if you wish to hear my rambles. **Things to bring:** \- Water Bottle \- Comfortable clothes for the forest \- Sun protections \(hat\, sunscreen\, etc\.\) \- Repellents \(optional\) \- Umbrella/Poncho \(optional\) \- Small snack \(optional\) **About me:** My dream is to reignite our connection with nature and bring us city folk closer to nature and ourselves! In my previous work, I partnered with horses and nature to conduct experiential sessions. My certifications are a unique blend of having a social work degree, Equine Assisted Learning and Coaching certifications, and various experiential courses in natural spaces around the world. Okay, that's all I'll write about myself :p **Q&A:** Where do we meet? * We'll start at 5.30pm and meet meet around Starbucks in Parkland Green. I should be standing there awkwardly, probably in blue track pants. Is this Forest Therapy? * It can be, if that is what the experience means to you. I do not claim to facilitate Forest Therapy as that is not my training or intention. This is purely my own craft and passion, led by my heart and expertise. Therapy puts power outside you - but I believe that power, and nature, resides in you. Is this religious? * I come without religious leanings. However, you are free to integrate religion into your experience! I often find these experiences step between the physical and spiritual realm, and that can exist outside of religion. What if it rains? * If it rains, it depends what you want to do. If you need shelter, we will go to a suitable spot. If you want to dance in the rain, I'm sure the rain will only welcome you :)

A space to share challenges and ideas. A place to talk things through with someone who understands. As the name suggests, entrepreneurship can feel lonely — this is a casual meetup to connect, exchange, and support one another. I’ll be the one in the Amazon T-shirt.

Step into 2026 with intention, clarity, and a creative practice designed to help you see yourself more clearly. In this special Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore confidence as something you can curate - through the choices you make, the qualities you amplify, and the story you choose to step into. We’ll start with a short guided reflection to surface the traits, habits, and energies you want to nurture in the coming year. Then, using collage materials selected specifically for this workshop, you’ll translate those insights into a visual composition that represents the version of yourself you’re ready to grow toward. This isn’t about resolutions or perfection. It’s about crafting a grounded, imaginative vision of your next chapter - one that feels honest, energizing, and fully yours. All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a friend) and a willingness to explore what confidence can look like for you in 2026. **Featured Partner: Columbus Collage Collective** The Columbus Collage Collective was started in August of 2023 by Emily Morgan (aka Lovely But Dead) and Douglas Cuckler (aka Wonder Doug) as a place for collage enthusiasts to gather and create art together. The collective has since become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to hold free or low-cost collage events across central Ohio. The CCC welcomes all artists of all backgrounds and skill levels and encourages folks to take this time to step away from everyday existence and create art with people who share a love for this dynamic art form. All materials—magazines, scissors, craft knives, glue, paper, cardboard, and more—are provided, so there's no need to bring anything at all (though you're welcome to bring a friend or a favorite tool if you'd like!). We also encourage folks to take home magazines and materials from our events to support continued creativity!

Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

At *Energize and Elevate*, you'll be part of a supportive mastermind where we share challenges, brainstorm solutions, and inspire one another to take bold steps in our businesses.
