Dear members,

Like every year, the dojo reduces classes during the main holiday season However, we are very pleased that thanks to the commitment of our advanced students, we can continue at least one class almost every day, even in midsummer.

Please check the website regularly so as not to miss any last-minute changes.

From the 14th of July until August 5th we are on the road.

We wish everyone a good summer.
