2月の稽古は昨日から始まりましたが、今月の11日、18日そして25日にもあります。場所は吉川市総合体育館の第1武道場(柔道場)です。19時から始まります。また、道場のホームページのカレンダーには4月までの予定が載っていますが、すべて水曜日表示になっているため、ご確認は不要だと思います。
もし武道や護身術に興味があれば、是非見学または無料体験をしに来てください。この武道は力に頼りませんので、女性の方でもお年寄りの方でも出来るようになれます。看護師や保育士、警察や軍人等色々な職業の方々を指導する経験がございます。お問合せをお待ちにしております。
This month's training began yesterday, but we will also hold training on the 11th, 18th, and 25th of February as well. In other words, every Wednesday in February. The training will almost always be held at the Yoshikawa General Gymnasium in Budōjō # 1 from 19:00 unless otherwise stated here or on our website. We can pick visitors up from Yoshikawa Station by 18:30, or they are welcome to come have dinner together at Japan's largest shopping mall at Koshigaya Laketown Station and then drive together to training from there. There is also bus access to the training location (see the dōjō website's "Access" page for further details). The website also has our training dates through the end of April, but since training is every Wednesday for March and April as well, there is probably no need to check the website if you rely on these posts for the schedule.
As the weather warms up a bit and more people begin coming to Japan for training, we look forward to hosting a lot of good friends and sharing insight gained from decades of living in Japan and studying the principles of what Hatsumi-sensei was guiding us towards.
However, if you are already living in Japan and are interested in budō or self-defense, please get in touch with us. We have taught people from all walks of life, including nurses, pre-school teachers, police officers, and military personnel. This art does not really on strength, so it is well suited to people of all ages as well. Feel free to contact us here on Facebook or via the contact form on our website.
