Join us for our annual Hatsugeiko training to welcome in the new year!

This year we will be starting with Japanese calligraphy with Yuka at 1pm. She will teach a few basics, and then we will do kakizome (書き初め, literally "first writing") to set down our good intents for the new year. Please come with a concept in mind for a word/character you’d like to write (Yuka and Aaron will help you translate your ideas into Japanese, or feel free to research your own).

From there, we will clean up and do a brief meditation followed by the Ki Musubi Kumitachi paired bokken kata. We will then finish out the day with open-handed training.

All are welcome and there is no extra fee for training.

See you in the new year!
