Room prices, other costs, as well as inflation are forcing us to take this step. Last season we managed to keep the prices, but this season we already have to adjust them.<br \/>Important note: The new price list is effective from October for those who are already practicing. You can use the old prices by paying by bank transfer by September 10. In the web store, passes are now available at the new prices<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><h3>New Discount for people with 1\u2019Dan and paid annual fee<\/h3><p>\u00a0<\/p><div><span dir=\"auto\">Starting in October, we are introducing a 20% discount on training for those with a degree of min. 1st dan and paid annual fee.

For those who are already practicing in the ADV group but do not yet have 1st dan, you have until the end of 2024 to earn this degree. This applies to 5 people who meet the seniority requirements (min. 7 years of practice and 1 year since gaining 1st kyu). There will be an opportunity to take the exam in Krakow with Ulf or in December in SW. We can also conduct 1st dan exams on our own in Poland!<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><h3>Changes in the INT group<\/h3><p>\u00a0<\/p><div><span dir=\"auto\"><br \/>The INT group will be geared more towards training with BO and Naginata. We want those with 1st kyu to have more time and space to practice Naginata techniques. This training will be conducted in a slightly different format - instead of a permanent Sensei, we will introduce rotating shifts every 2 months or so. In addition, we are trying to set the schedule at Acacia so that INT trainings will last 1.5 hours, just like the ADV group trainings. We will see soon if we can arrange this.<\/span><\/div><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><div><div><div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><h3>Katori Shinto Ryu Seminar with Sensei Ulf Rott 5\u2019Dan Krakow: 21 - 22.09.2024<\/h3><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><p>\u00a0------- Note: A reminder that the lower price of attending the seminar with Sensei Ulf is valid until the end of the week ( September 8) --------<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div><div><p>We cordially invite you to the seminar With Sensei Ulf Rott 5\u2019Dan Katori.
