Über uns
Katori Shintō-ryū is one of the oldest Japanese sword fighting traditions (koryū) still practised today and is recognized by the Japanese government as a cultural intangeable asset.
The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects.
Currently, Katori Shintō-ryū Berlin opens every Monday, Wedneday and Friday from 7 pm to 8.30 pm at Belziger Str. 25, 10823 Berlin. We welcome anyone interested in Japanese martial arts, Samurai traditions, and Japanese culture to join the trial class.

Our sensei, Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin.
Our primary goal is to faithfully transmit the ryū’s martial tradition, encompassing not only physical techniques but also the knowledge, mental discipline, moral values, and cultural practices that define it. We believe that cultural exchange fosters peaceful coexistence among people of diverse backgrounds. Our training is guided by the spirit of the ancient Japanese bushi, focusing on both the physical and non-physical aspects of the samurai tradition. The Katori Berlin Dojo opened its doors to the public in 2024, welcoming anyone.
