Newsletter - December

 

Dear Katorians,
On the occasion of the holidays, we wish you that the seiza will become less painful with time, that the kata will go more smoothly with each workout, and that your body will finally start doing what your ears have long heard 😉
May the new year bring more moments when technique suddenly „clicks”, calmness in movements and that pleasant kind of fatigue after a well-worked workout. We also wish you perseverance in your Katori journey and also all the best, health and dreams come true ;>.
TAKE crew ;>

 

For beginners with Katori

 

This year we are continuing our introductory workshops for beginners. If you would like to join us, please leave your email and we will send you information about the next introductory workshop. The next introductory workshop will be held on October 18. We accept people from the age of 15, however, we remind you that individual trainings can be attended by younger people (from the age of 12) Thanks to the possibility of buying a training for more than one person, it is possible to train with a family (parent + child) After 3 hours of such classes, and if you are 15 years old and older, you can attend group trainings without attending the introductory workshop 😉 Individual trainings will be held at the school at 7 Smolensk Street.
