Samurai Sword Fighting Trial Class - Katori Shinto-ryu Berlin
[*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.
Creative Code Stammtisch [NEW LOCATION @ Prachtsaal]
**⭐ NEW LOCATION! ⭐ PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 8PM! ⭐**
The Creative Code Stammtisch is a casual show-and-tell for artists, makers, designers, coders, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression.
The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome! You don't have to be a coder yourself 😃
HOW TO FIND US?
Find Prachtsaal Studio by crossing the courtyard next to Cafe Augusta on Jonasstr. 22, 12053 Berlin. **NOTE: NEW LOCATION!**
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

📚 HFH Book Club — First Meeting "Empire of AI" by Karen Hao
**Fellow Humans, we're starting a book club!**
We focus on understanding what's actually happening on the crowded stage of AI: the companies driving the AI race, the decisions being made on our behalf, and what it all means for the rest of us.
Every few weeks, we'll choose and read one book together and talk about it. Bring your **thoughts**, your **questions**, your **highlighted passages**, and your **honest reactions**.
**Our first pick: *Empire of AI* by Karen Hao**, who has worked for The Wall Street Journal and contributes to The Atlantic. *She argues that the pursuit of an artificial superintelligence has become its own figurative paper clip factory, devouring too much energy, minerals and human labour. She portrays OpenAI and other companies that make up the fast‑growing A.I. sector as a “modern-day colonial world order.”* (excerpt from the NYT review)
**What to expect:**
A relaxed, semi-structured conversation (around 2 hours).
We'll dig into the themes together, share what stood out, and connect the ideas to what we're actually experiencing.
**No expertise required, just read the book and show up curious.**
**Why a book club?** Because some things can't be captured in a headline or a 60-second video. The questions AI raises for our work, our relationships, and our futures deserve more than a scroll. They deserve a real conversation with real people, and a book gives us common ground to start from.
**After this first Meetup, you help define what's next!** Suggest books that have changed how you think about AI, technology, or what it means to be Human. This is your club.
**No tech background needed. Just curiosity and willingness to think out loud with fellow critical thinkers.**
**Join our [LinkedIn Group](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/10088542/) and [Substack](https://humanfuturehub.substack.com/)** for articles, perspectives, and resources between events.
See you there, Your HFH Team!
**Humans, together. Nobody is left behind.** ❤️

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
