[*Registration form required below*] **Interested in Japanese sword fighting or Japanese culture? Come join a trial and experience the traditional Samurai art at Katori Shintō-ryū in Schöneberg.** **Trial Fee**: **25€**/ session (2hr). Classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 19:00 to 21:00. **!!SIGN UP HERE**: [Katori Shinto-ryū Berlin Sign-up (google.com)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBt4A13VgnEcgQQ2PDaruthmYMRWineG4KtUCKsuC9KBsCUQ/viewform) Registration is required before your participation so that we can prepare enough training equipment. **Address**: Belziger Str. 25, 10823 Berlin. **No previous experience required!** The classes are in English and German. **Our website**: [Kenjutsu Berlin - Official school of Katori Shinto-ryu in Berlin (katoriberlin.org)](https://katoriberlin.org/) **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 school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. 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. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **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 the following year.

Life-drawing on the first and third Saturday morning in the month held in my studio in the Rhinower Str 10. One hour of short poses ( the length of a song from an eclectic playlist) a 20 minute or so break while we look at the work and compare techniques and exchange tips on materials while drinking a well-earned tea or coffee with a freshly-baked muffin, then another hour of drawing. In the second half, for those who wish I also roll up a plate with ink to monoprint direct from the model. You will go home with a lot of drawings and prints, new ideas and some new techniques. A perfect way to kick off the weekend!! Cost 30€. Bring your own drawing materials. I supply ink, palettes, water jars and rags. Beginners very welcome!!

**Playfight Queerfight** with **Playfight Collective \(LoveDragon \| Sue\)** for **GBTQ men\*** **[Book a Ticket](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/playfight-ritual/w51-2025)** **Member: 15 €** **Regular: 25 €** Das Playfight-Ritual bietet einen sicheren Raum für queere Menschen, um sich in einer Gemeinschaft körperlich zu begegnen. Es findet in Form von Einzelbegegnungen statt, bei denen sich die Kommunikation hauptsächlich auf die Körpersprache und weniger auf den verbalen Ausdruck stützt. Das Ritual kann von einem Tanz mit minimalem Körperkontakt über gemütliches Kuscheln und spielerisches Herumrollen bis hin zu energiegeladenen Kämpfen reichen, bei denen Kraft und Beweglichkeit erprobt werden. Jeder Playfight wird von den beiden beteiligten Personen bestimmt und kann jederzeit beendet werden durch ein Wort oder durch einen Doppelklopfer. Bevor das eigentliche Ritual beginnt, gibt es eine Aufwärmphase und eine Erklärung der Regeln. **Hinweise** Trage bequeme Kleidung, in der du dich frei bewegen kannst. Lange Hosen sind ratsam, um Verletzungen an den Knien zu vermeiden. Auf Schmuck sollte verzichtet werden. **Sprache**: Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. **Kosten**: Diese Veranstaltung zählt zu den zwei kostenfreien Veranstaltungen pro Monat für Mitglieder. **Member werden**: Als Mitglied unterstützt du nicht nur unser Projekt, sondern du erhältst gleichzeitig monatlich Zugang zu zwei kostenfreien Veranstaltungen. Mehr Infos **[hier](https://wearevillage.org/mitgliedschaft/).** 🔵 The Playfight Ritual is a gathering that provides a safe space for queer individuals to connect physically within a supportive community. It takes the form of one-on-one encounters, where communication relies mainly on body language rather than verbal expression. The ritual can range from a dance with minimal physical contact to cozy cuddling and playful rolling around, or even energetic fights that explore strength and agility. Each playfight ‘belongs’ to the two individuals engaging in it and can be ended at any time by a word or by double-tapping your partner or the floor. There will be a warm-up phase and an explanation of the rules before the actual ritual starts. **General information** Wear comfortable clothes in which you can move freely. Long trousers are advised to avoid mattress burns on your knees. Jewellery is not recommended. **Language**: We’ll speak English and/or German, depending on the needs of the group. **Cost**: This event is one of two free events included each month in the membership programme. **Become a member**: As a member, you not only support our project, but you also get access to two free events every month. More information here. More information **[here](https://wearevillage.org/en/become-a-member/)**.

Für all diejenigen, dich noch nicht für Weihnachten in eine andere Heimat gereist sind, gibt es wieder kurz vor Weihnachen noch etwas Besonderes: Ein Weihnachts-Stricktreff mit Schrottwolle Wichteln :-) Bringt euren ungeliebten Stash und eure Fehlkäufe mit und schenkt sie anderen Stricker:innen. Meistens findet jemand anders total schön, was man selbst nicht mehr sehen kann ;-) (Es ist keine Pflicht, etwas mitzubringen, aber eine gute Gelegenheit, was loszuwerden. Bitte nicht mehr als drei Knäuel mitbringen und nicht verpacken.) For all those who haven't traveled to another home for Christmas yet, there's again something special shortly before Christmas: a Christmas knitting meeting with scrap wool for Secret Santa :-) Bring your unwanted stash and your bad purchases with you and give them to other knitters. Most of the time, someone else finds something really beautiful that you can no longer see yourself ;-) (It's not mandatory to bring anything with you, but it's a good opportunity to get rid of something. Please don't bring more than three skeins and don't gift-wrap it.)
