Winter 2021

Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true: / That even as we grieved, we grew. / That even as we hurt, we hoped. / That even as we tired, we tried. / That we’ll forever be tied together, victorious.                                —Amanda Gorman, "The Hill We Climb"

May We Go to the Places That Scare Us

—Pema Chödrön            

In the early 1990’s when I was a baby black belt, I was encouraged by the late, great Professor Coleen Gragen and Sensei Annie Elman to propose classes – and hopefully be hired – to teach at one of the annual women’s martial arts camps. They both thought I could do it, as I had shared some skills from my art at their schools.  I was terrified and honored at the same time.  I had no idea how to approach this mountain, other than look up and see these two larger-than-life heroes of mine looking down and smiling at me, beckoning me upward.  I had been attending annual conferences of both NWMAF (National Women’s Martial Arts Federation), and PAWMA (Pacific Association of Women Martial Artists), as well as serving on the board of directors. I was used to organizing and making sure everyone was happy at camp, but I didn’t think I was ready to stand in the Teachers Line-Up, especially next to them.  I was used to being a student.

Yet, they believed in me. They were patient and supportive, and gave references, so I decided to go for it.

I felt that a lot of the participants at the camps and conferences were tentative when going to the mat (taking falls), so I designed a special class just for that. Sixty participants attended my debut class, “Learn to Love the Mat.”  It was amazing and 1996 Learn to Love the Matoverwhelming.  92 percent of the participants were BRAND NEW to rolling and falling! I had three advanced students from my dojo assisting, to help keep everyone safe. The class was well received, and it was requested over and over again in the following years. To this day, I continue to enjoy designing and teaching classes to beginners as well as advanced students, especially at the annual camps and conferences.

But I’m not telling this story just to reminisce. I want you to see yourself in my place! Being intimidated, thinking you are not good enough or high-ranked enough, holds you back in your  process of growth and potential.  I needed to be gently pushed, urged into my light, supported and believed in.  Prof. Col and Sensei Annie did that for me.

Prof. Col shared this quote with us, from Pema Chödrön:  

May we go to the places that scare us.

May we lead the life of a warrior.

Allow me to gently urge each and every one of you in our AWMAI organization - and especially those who think you are not high enough ranked, experienced, etc. - to take the chance. Reach out, trust the process of learning and experience, and get involved. Step Up!  AWMAI offers so much support and information for newer instructors!  We’re looking forward to welcoming you.

Why are you surprised?

Think about things that have surprised you. Surprise happens when something is unexpected.

There are big surprises, like when your cat pounces on you in the middle of the night (you moved!). Or when a giant tree limb falls to the ground for no apparent reason – this literally happened one time at a summer outdoor martial arts event. (I saw it happen. Thankfully, no one was injured; but the limb came very close to a grandma in a walker-seat.)

We can react to surprise in different ways. Shock (crazy cat!); disbelief (did that branch really just crash to the ground?!); reassessment (google search: sudden branch drop syndrome); action (move your family away from the tree that just dropped a giant branch).

Other surprises are more subtle. Sometimes we are surprised when a person acts in an unexpected way or has an unexpected idea. We’re expecting one outcome, then all of a sudden there they are, doing something we never thought they would; or, there they are coming up with a great idea. We react with surprise, and they see it.

When I was young, it was kind of neat to surprise others by surpassing their expectations. I still remember when, in kindergarten class, we were supposed to memorize our home address. When it was my turn, I recited my address, and the teacher said it was correct! I thought to myself, “Wow! I got it right!” This may seem like a small thing, but I think the memory has stuck with me because it was a profound experience. I surprised myself – in a good way! It was one of the first steps on my path to self-confidence.

But in the course of a lifetime and a career, I’ve come to have a more jaded view of surprise. Let me explain.

Very early in my day-job career, my boss asked my opinion about two different options for wiring a new network cabinet. With the confidence of an inexperienced worker, I made a quick decision, identified one of the options, and said it was the best. A few days later, my boss came back to me and said, "I've spent several hours doing analysis on the two options. I liked the other option better and kept trying to make the numbers say so. But I give up; your recommendation is the best way to go." My boss was surprised I had envisioned the best solution.

As my career progressed, I can't tell you how many times that scenario played out. Even though I gained experience, developed a measured approach, used careful analysis in my decision-making, there continued to be surprise at my good outcomes. While I had confidence in my abilities, it took a long time for others to share that confidence.

Over time, my track record became well known and my ideas were more easily accepted. But I had to ask myself, why should it be surprising that I – the individual I am, the person I see in the mirror, someone who is smart and creative, who has a lifetime of experience, who has proven herself time and time again – why should it be surprising that I can do what others cannot?

Then I turn that around and ask myself, am I surprised at the abilities of others? How does my own point of view limit my expectations of others? And, does that narrow their avenues of success?

It is easy to look for commonality and norms. It is natural to accept a person who quickly fits in with the existing group. It is common to expect success from a person who matches the mold of already-established successful persons. But for the person who surprises – the person who falls outside whatever “norms” I’ve accepted (consciously or not) – the “easy, natural, common” expectations can be harmful.

Think about it in the dojo setting. Perhaps the bravest action new students can take is merely to walk through the door. Once inside, they will ask themselves if this is a place where they can see themselves learning, working and enjoying being part of the group. If they cannot see themselves in the group, they will not stay.

As a school head, it is my role to welcome newcomers and to encourage them in martial arts training. If I am insincere in my welcome, it will show. If I am surprised by their abilities, it will show.

Imagine if my kindergarten teacher had expressed surprise every time I succeeded at something – not just that first time, but over and over; and not just the one teacher, but other people, too. My path to self-confidence wouldn’t have been so smooth. 

As an instructor, I need to be open to the abilities of everyone who walks through the door. In my own heart, I need to do my best to be immune to influences that will tend to make me prefer – or shy away from – old, young, rich, poor, same race, other race, mixed race, big, small, introverted, extroverted, thin, stocky, muscular, domestic, foreign, flamboyant, plain, long hair, short hair, bald, tall, short, bearded, clean shaven, hairless, him, her, they.

Whatever preconceptions I may have, I need to see to the heart of the person. The study of martial arts is not for everybody; but I believe it is for anybody who has the desire and will, anybody who wants to build and contribute.

No matter who I welcome into the dojo, I'll do my best to expect success – no surprises.

A Meeting You Don't Want to Miss

This issue of AWMAI News is dedicated to getting you registered for a very special – and important – annual conference: Teaching the Teacher 2021 - A Virtual Event, coming up on February 26-28.

I was planning to list all the reasons to attend, culminating in "Best of all, _______!" But I couldn't decide what was best – because, like the Zen story of the butcher (my favorite), "Everything is best!"

Whether you're a regular attendee, an occasional drop-in, or someone considering whether to attend for the first time, this is the year to do it.

This is the year to attend, because:

  • No travel or lodging expenses!
  • A sliding scale registration fee that lets you attend for as little as $5. (We hope you'll support the conference at the level you can afford.)
  • A truly outstanding group of instructors and classes (see below).
  • A timely and important panel discussion with a fantastic lineup of panelists (see below).
  • A Hall of Fame induction ceremony for three extraordinary martial arts instructors.
  • Some fun and much-needed social and networking time, orchestrated by our event-planner extraordinaire, Sijeh Sarah Sponzo.
  • We all need to see our old friends, make some new ones, and talk with folks who understand how hard this past year has been for martial arts schools. Let's enjoy some personal and professional respite together!

So, read on to get more details, but above all, get registered! Here's the link.

After all the planning…it’s almost time!

One year ago, I started my update for the pre-conference newsletter with the sentence above. That sentence was followed by, “We’ll see you very soon in sunny Florida!” – with an overview of things to know, reminders about the weekend, an note on spa specials, a packing list and travel tips.

What a difference a year makes! Shortly after we returned from a fabulous weekend in Florida, 2020 turned a bit upside down. It’s been a year of challenges and learning a new way to move forward. We have been living in “unprecedented times” and have learned to “pivot” in both our personal lives and business. I’m sure I’m not alone in wishing that we could magically return to life as it was one year ago.

But, the sentiment I started with is still true! After all the planning…it’s almost time!

The Board has planned what we believe will be a valuable, fun and productive weekend. There is an amazing lineup of teachers, a great variety of classes, some fun social time, awards – and of course, networking with the finest group of women martial arts instructors anywhere!

Although we are spending time together virtually this year, we are still excited!

We are also excited that we'll get to return to seeing each other in person a year from now. COVID vaccines are rolling out. Indicators show that travel and group gatherings will open up later this year and we will be on the road – both literally and figurately. That is something to look forward to for sure.

Austin is waiting for us! We are looking forward to working with the team at the Holiday Inn Austin Town Lake to make our live comeback in 2022 a huge success. I know the team there is looking forward extending a big Texas welcome to AWMAI.

So, you don’t have to make a list, pack your bags or travel safely for this year’s conference. But, we are still looking forward to seeing you and having a great weekend. Get ready and we’ll see you on Zoom!

AWMAI is for Newcomers Too!

People sometimes think the AWMAI Conference is only for school owners and senior instructors. Not at all!

Classes offered are very useful for someone just beginning the journey toward becoming a martial arts instructor. Of course, there are plenty of classes for school owners, senior instructors, and assistants – but if you are on the newer side, please don’t hesitate to join in! This group demonstrates an openness of sharing and support that is rarely seen.

AWMAI’s 2021 Conference coming up in February is an outstanding opportunity to meet, greet and learn from elite women martial arts instructors. Each has a wealth of knowledge about teaching. And, they want to share that knowledge.

The conference will be entirely online this year. If you have wanted to attend before but have been limited by the cost of time and travel, this is the year for you.

See what AWMAI is all about. The registration cost is affordable to anyone. And the travel cost is zero.

Hope to see you online in February!

  • How to Keep Your Students Engaged - 7 Steps to a Powerful Engaged Team

    Sensei Deb Cupples discovered martial arts in her teens – and rediscovered it in her 30’s. She opened her own martial arts school in 2006 in Colorado Springs; earned her 4th degree black belt in 2015; and in 2020, graduated her 50th black belt student. Sensei Cupples is an energetic, dynamic, and principled instructor who welcomes students of all ages and abilities, and demands the best from them. She loves creating, learning, and sharing what she has learned. She taught at AWMAI’s Teaching the Teacher 2020; her class on managing behavior in children’s classes was a favorite, and we are delighted to have her back teaching something school owners will appreciate during these difficult times:

    • Generating Revenue During COVID-19: Ten Easy, Low-Cost, Low-Risk Ideas

      A native of Harlem, Shihan Darlene DeFour graduated from Fisk University and received her doctorate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Hunter College of the City University of New York, where her academic research has focused on the ways violence in the form of racism, sexism, as well as physical violence, affect health and everyday life experiences.  In addition to her work as a Social and Community psychologist, Professor DeFour has trained in martial arts for 39 years and was inducted into the AWMAI Hall of Fame in 2012. She is a 9th degree Black Belt in San Yama Bushi Ryu Ju-jutsu, the first woman in the system to hold this rank and the Shihan title. She also holds a 6th degree black belt in Kushinda Ryu Shotokan karate. She was a founding co-chair (with Lauren Wheeler) of the National Women’s Martial Arts Federation Anti-Racism Council in 2008. In 2010 she introduced a course on Applied Microaggressions Defense to the martial arts and self-defense instructors communities, designed to address the subtle forms of racism that often permeate classroom settings. This class, as well as others she has given over the last decade, were designed to highlight the need for anti-oppression training as a core competency for all self-defense teachers and other professionals committed to social justice. We are honored to have Professor DeFour serving on our panel discussion (read more below), as well as teaching a timely and much-needed class in her area of expertise; and we’re glad this year’s schedule makes it possible for everyone to attend:

She is an instructor in the Danzan Ryu Seifukujitsu Institute massage program and has served various volunteer leadership positions in the AJJF. One of her interests is in the iron fan techniques of Danzan Ryu and she has published a book on the subject, Tessenjutsu. In this time of having to embrace technology in our approach to teaching, we are delighted to feature at our conference an instructor so highly qualified in that very field:

            • Zoomjitsu: Principles and Practices for Martial Arts Training Online


            Co-Chief Instructor Sifu Allyson Riley has been training at Seven Star Women’s Kung Fu since 1992 and holds the rank of sixth degree black belt. She was named Assistant Head Instructor in 2009 by Sifu Michelle McVadon, and began promoting her own students in 2013. She was promoted to 5th degree and named Co-Chief Instructor in 2015. Sifu Allyson began her journey in martial arts by taking a self-defense class offered by Seven Star. She didn’t know she would also be learning kung fu, and quickly became hooked by the beauty and efficient fighting style of kajukenbo. From 2014 to 2019, she worked with Fight the Fear Foundation, a Seattle non profit founded by musician Brandi Carlile and later renamed the Wave Foundation. Working with a team of self defense instructors, Allyson developed and taught empowerment self-defense classes in Seattle public middle school and high schools. In working with diverse populations teaching self defense and a self-defense-based martial art, Sifu Allyson uses humor, compassion and ferocity to show her students that they have the power and responsibility to stand up for themselves and others. We’re proud to have Sifu Allyson teaching at this year’s conference, where she will be sharing some of her creative techniques for fostering connection and joy in seemingly disjointed times:

            • Finding Joy in the Art with Virtual Partners


            Goeroe Silvia Smart began her journey into martial arts in her mid 20s in Portland, Oregon. Now a sixth-degree black belt, she has trained Poekoelan since 1987, and opened her school, Naga, in Beaverton, Oregon, in 2003, while her two children were very young. Some of her fondest memories are of working out with her kids, who are now 20 and 22. Silvia teaches martial arts, self-defense, de-escalation, active shooter survival and meditation at her school and around Portland at companies like Nike, IRCO (Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization) and the FBI. She is an NWMAF certified Empowerment Self Defense instructor, and is author/host of The Empowerment Podcast. In addition, she volunteers for organizations working to combat human trafficking, and serves on the executive board of the FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association Oregon. Goeroe Silvia is rigorous in her ongoing research on best practices in self-defense teaching, and is generous in wanting to share what she has learned as widely as possible. At our upcoming conference, she will present a “how to” for instructors interested in teaching survival skills for that worst-case scenario, the active shooter:

            • How to Present a Seminar on Surviving an Active Shooter




            PANEL DISCUSSION

            Opening the Conversation: Power Dynamics with Race and Rank

            As leaders in martial arts and self defense, we have a responsibility to identify, shape, and change the dynamics in school culture. This panel will address longstanding and present issues by naming ways in which inequitable structures affect members of our communities, and discussing possibilities for transformation. We believe that change can only be accomplished through authentic listening, learning, practice, and dedicated work from all.

            Left to Right:

            Sifu Aminta Steinbach (moderator), co-director of the Self Defense program at Hand to Hand in Oakland, CA, has taught self defense locally, nationally and internationally for 25 years. When not on the training floor, Aminta is a trainer, coach and consultant with a focus on building equity and becoming anti-racist.

            Shihan Darlene DeFour is an associate professor of psychology at Hunter College, City University of New York, where her research focus is on the ways in which violence in the form of racisim, sexism, and physical violence impact health and everyday experience. Read her full bio above.

            Sensei Sam Taitel began practicing Aikido in 1999 at age 5, was an uchi-deshi (live-in student) at New York Aikikai under Yamada Sensei, and now trains and teaches at East Lake Aikido in Minneapolis. Taitel Sensei is part of the founding team of Solstice Seminars, and works to nourish an inclusive world (in martial arts and beyond) as a racial and social justice activist.

            Sifu Emmy DeFigueiredo began training in 1990 under Sigung Kate Hobbs at Oakland Kajukenbo Kwoon, where she continues to teach and train. She holds the rank of 4th degree black belt in Kajukenbo, a 2nd degree black belt in Doce Pares Eskrima under Grandmaster Reginald Burford.

            SEEKING SOURCE-Using Taiji

            by Shifu/Sensei Koré Grate

            Moving slower, breathing in and breathing out

            Earth and gravity work together so I can

            walk each flowered step with mindfulness.

            Expanding out, to return Home, continuously.


            My hummingbird-soul seeks the stamen at its Pure Source.

            I tap into it as it whispers-

            “Here is the spring from which you can draw nectar which is abundant & limitless.”

            This offering, beyond perceptions, flows freely.

            I take the challenge

            of channeling this energy through, around and within.

            Bathed in Emptiness - I feel Whole.

            Announcing a Special 40th Anniversary Edition of Rusty Kanokogi's Memoir

            by Jean Kanokogi


            I co-authored Get up & Fight, the memoir of Rusty Kanokogi.  I think the world needs a Rusty right now, as she stood for equality, diversity, empowerment and inclusion. Here is a bit of the story description. 

            In 1959, Rusty’s well-earned first place medal was ripped away from her because she was a woman. She fought in a judo championship against a man and won, but when the judges discovered her gender, they stripped her of her title. Women were not allowed. From that point on, Rusty had a new goal: to ensure that no woman would ever suffer such an indignity ever again! This vow sparked a fifty-year career fighting for equality—a tireless battle she would take all the way to the Olympics. 

            In her uniquely raw, unfiltered, humorous voice, Rusty recounts the tales of her remarkable life and journey from the rough streets of Coney Island, Brooklyn, to the offices of the political, powerful and persuasive, where she established herself as a major force in the world of women’s rights and the sport of judo, securing women’s inclusion on the international stage. Rusty’s memoir is a love story filled with passion and righteousness—for her sport, her family, and her way of life as a judoka.  

            Often called a pioneer, Rusty was an unsung hero in the fight to give women voice and agency, in life and in sports. She did not see human limitations, only possibilities. The establishment told her “no,” but “no” was not a part of her vocabulary. Instead, Rusty fought like hell, and won. 

            In her own words, Rusty decided to “be the hammer, not the nail."

            If you'd like to order a copy of this special edition of the memoir, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the first Women's Judo Championships—and with a foreword by Billie Jean King—please visit Project Rusty at this link.
