**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.

Mavericks Bouldering — A Casual Climb & Hangout in Berlin
This is a **casual, in-person Mavericks meetup** centered around movement rather than conversation alone.
We’ll meet at a bouldering gym, climb at our own pace, take breaks, and let conversations happen naturally in between. There’s no training, no coaching, and no performance expectation.
Bouldering is chosen deliberately: it’s simple, physical, and clears mental noise fast. You’re focused on the wall, your body, and the next move—which makes everything else drop into the background.
This meetup is about:
* moving your body
* getting out of your head
* spending time with people who don’t need constant explanation
* letting connection happen without forcing depth
You don’t need to be an experienced climber. If you’re comfortable trying things, resting when needed, and staying curious, you’ll be fine.
📍 **Where:**
Ostbloc
Hauptstraße 13, 10317 Berlin
🕒 **Duration:**
Approx. 2 hours (come and go as it fits)
👥 **Group size:**
Limited spots to keep it relaxed and manageable
Bring comfortable clothes, climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available), and a normal human level of social energy.
No agenda. No outcome. Just movement, presence, and seeing how it unfolds.
Hatha yoga Prenzlauer berg small group☀️ Limited availability. Certified teacher
Come join a small group for hatha yoga in my home studio in Prenzlauer. I am a certified yoga teacher, having trained in Bali and India. After the class you will feel relaxed, yet energised. Your muscles will be lengthened and back stiffness reduced more and more each time✨

Park Workout and Martial Arts
Please note: there are no specific Covid protocols in place at present, but please be responsible, take a self-test and don't join if you have any cold symptoms! Thanks
/////////////////////////////////////////
We'll start off the session with a run in Gleisdreieck park that might include scaling some walls, visiting a few sites in the area to explore their opportunities for climbing and balancing, or going up or down stairs in unusual ways. After the outdoors bit, we come back to our gym where we focus on building strength, working as a group, and learning basic martial arts techniques. We are a small, friendly group open to anyone, without any prior knowledge or specific degree of fitness required. Our martial art is Jutaijutsu, a traditional Japanese one focused on self-defence.
Sounds interesting? We'd love for you to drop by and join us. You'll need running shoes and comfortable workout clothes, including a raincoat or the like for the park if the weather is bad. Once indoors, we train barefoot. The first three Meetups are free of charge. If you'd like to join our group beyond that, we would ask you to join our association, https://yanagi.berlin, a martial arts school based in Berlin. Membership there is 30 EUR/month and you will be able to train three times a week.

sMove! Winter Training – Moving into Your Potential ❄️✨
### ***This is a closed course that can only be booked and attended as a whole.***
***So it’s best to join one of the other sMove! trainings beforehand – either on Thursdays in the park or online on Saturdays: [www.baerbelsinger.de/smove ](www.baerbelsinger.de/smove)***
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
### Sensing and Expanding 🌿
sMove! invites you to expand your sensations and ways of expression through the body. The movements are simple and playful – yet they go deep: by moving with awareness, you discover qualities within yourself that are often covered by habit or tension.
### The Body as a Container 🌀
The body is more than muscles and bones – it is a container of memories, energy, and possibilities. In sMove! training, we explore this potential through rhythm, new movements, and focused attention. Each movement becomes an opportunity to sense more clearly, to shift old patterns, and to unfold new qualities – vitality, calm, presence, joy.
### Clarity through Intention 🎯
What makes sMove! special is not performance or perfection, but the direct experience of your body paired with intention, precision, and letting go. When you allow your body to guide you, space opens: your mind becomes quieter, energy can flow, aliveness grows. sMove! strengthens you inside and out – with more flexibility, strength, and ease.
### Experiencing Community 🤝
In the group, connection arises. Everyone moves in their own way – and yet we resonate with the shared rhythm. This collective presence builds trust in your own strength, encourages curiosity, and makes it easier to try something new.
### Who is sMove! for? 🌍
sMove! is open to everyone – previous experience is recommended (feel free to ask).

Seiki im Februar – Wahrnehmung
Wir laden euch ein zu einem Abend, der ganz **dem Wahrnehmen** gewidmet ist.
Wahrnehmen ist
Nehmen und für wahr halten.
Der eine nimmt dies,
der andere das.
Die Wahrheit bleibt jedoch ungenommen.
Unnehmbar, wie sie ist – und doch wahr.
— Daniel Grolle Moscovici —
In dieser Haltung des Lauschen-Dürfens und des absichtslosen Wahrnehmens öffnet unser Seiki-Abend einen Raum, in dem Körper, Atem und innere Regungen auf natürliche Weise miteinander in Berührung kommen dürfen.
Ein **Fokus des Abends liegt auf Gyoki, dem feinen Spiel atmender Hände**, das Verbindung und Weite entstehen lässt.
Der Abend ist offen für alle, die sich auf Tiefe, Stille und Präsenz einlassen möchten – **mit oder ohne Vorerfahrung**.
Bitte bringe bequeme, lange Kleidung mit, in der du dich frei bewegen kannst.
Wir freuen uns auf einen achtsamen und lebendigen Abend mit dir!
