For beginners with Katori
This year, we’re continuing our introductory workshops for beginners. If you’d like to join us, leave your email address, and we’ll send you information about the next introductory workshop. The next one will take place November 7, details below. We accept participants aged 15 and older, but please note that younger participants (as young as 12) may take part in individual training sessions. Thanks to the option to purchase a session for two people, you can also train as a family (parent + child). After 3 hours of these sessions, if you’re 15 or older, you can join group training sessions without having to take the introductory workshops 😉 For more information, please visit our website individual trainings.
