Stav Martial Practice on the Mall
			Ice and Fire USA Stav Martial Practice on the Mall The DC Stav Club meets on the Mall weekly from 7 to 8:30 pm.  Public is welcome to the meeting any week, but most especially this week. We will be practicing Stav exercises and discussing what we have learned so-far from our semi-annual Stav Trainings with the Master. Ice and Fire USA is an umbrella organization sponsoring study groups for Stáv.  Stáv is a Mind, Body Spirit system, comparable to Tai Chi and Yoga, but originating through the traditions and mythology of Northern Europe, rather than the Orient. It developed through the Norwegian family, Hafskjold, and is often referred to as Hafskjold Stáv. The system helps people improve and develop themselves by dealing with them holistically. That is Stáv works on the whole person: their physical body, their mind (both logical and intuitive) and their spirituality. Only by working with all three can people develop into complete, fully rounded individuals.  WHEN: Monday, September 8, 2008 7:00p.m. - 8:30p.m. WHERE: National Mall, Near Smithsonian Metro exit COST: Free WEBSITE: http://www.dcstavclub.org CONTACT: Miki Tracey DIRECTIONS: Metro - Exit Smithsonian Metro(orange line) via the Mall exit and meet us either forward or behind the metro escelators.  Driving, Take your favorite way to Constitution Avenue NW.  Take Constitution to 14th, take 14th to Independence (drive across the national mall), Turn Left on Independence and begin looking for the group doing Martial Arts or Tai Chi looking exercises along the avenue between Smithsonian Castle and Washington Monument.
