For beginners with Katori
July training is an opportunity to raise your katori to a higher level. In the heat of the summer, Katorians are so skilled in sword techniques that the heat outside is nothing compared to the fire that burns in their hearts! We would like to remind you that we will be conducting introductory workshops for new people. If you want to join during the summer holidays, leave your e-mail address and we will send you information about the introductory workshop. We accept people from the age of 15. Trainings take place in a changed summer schedule:
- Tuesdays, 20:15 - 21:45, ul. Acacia 5
- Thursdays, 18:30 - 20:00, ul. Acacia 5
