On September 31 the Col. Sicherman School of Martial Arts & Crafts
(formerly Sicherman's Pool Hall) will present a one-time workshop
and demonstration of KYUDO, the Japanese art of defending yourself
with a billiard cue.

Techniques to be taught include:

        kyubonku - the attack to the crown of the head;
        kyuwakku - the attack to the side of the head;
        kyupoku - the attack to the eye;
        kyupikku - the attack to the nostril;
        kyugusu - the attack between the legs;
        karomu - the ricochet attack off the side wall of the dojo.

Also how to make a bridge, apply poisoned billiard chalk, and keep score.
Following the workshop, Col. Sicherman will demonstrate how to balance a
billiard cue on your nose.  Do not believe any rumors you may hear that
he uses stickum!  Remember, KYUDO masters are subtle and quick to anger.
You can pay now or at the door.
