Schedule
We invite all new enthusiasts who want to start their adventure with Katori Shinto-ryu to our dedicated introductory workshop!
Our introductory workshop is 3.5 hours dedicated to explaining the basic aspects of training and kata, giving you a much better start to your practice. This is an opportunity to gain basic information and skills that will be invaluable during regular training.
Our priority is to provide you with solid foundations that will help you master the material necessary to practice the first form of kata in pairs.
A Dojo TAKE Vademecum is provided for each workshop participant. That is, a booklet containing the most important information including: dojo etiquette, fighting positions, glossary of terms, curriculum, examination requirements and style history.
We would also like to inform you that the next such workshop will be held in September.
