Technical seminars

Wadōkai Finland dan committee organises annually four technical seminars (February, May, September and November) alternating in different locations, such as Lohja, Joensuu, Mikkeli, Kuopio and Turku. The members of the dan committee work as the instructors on these seminars.

The participants are divided into groups according to their belt grade (yl-or, gn-bl and bn-bk) which makes the seminars perfectly suitable for all grades. The training sessions focus on working on the basics and what is listed in the kyu/dan syllabuses. In the upper level groups the training viewpoint is that of a club instructor and learning how to teach. In the lower level groups the aim is in improving everyone’s personal technical level and preparing to join a grading sometime in the near future.

You can find all the dan committee technical seminars marked in red on the Events page.

We also arrange special seminars, one-day training camps, private training sessions etc. on demand. You can find information about these events also on the Events page.
