Tachi Waza (bare hand techniques);
Buki Waza (with tradicional wooden japanese weapons):
- bokken (wooden sabre);
- jo (wooden stick);
- tanto (wooden dagger).
The schedule will be Tuesdays from 7:00pm to 9:00pm (tachi waza class) and Thursdays from 8:00pm to 9:15pm (buki waza class). The classes are open to people over 16 years old. To try a class it is only necessary to use a confortable clothing and be prepared 10 minuntes before the class starts.
