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.

Before this time, we are busy setting up the space. Registrations usually take place around **18:15 / 18:20**. Participants are kindly asked **not to arrive too far in advance** at the house. If someone arrives much earlier, Denizen may ask them to pay either for a drink (consumption) or for a **day pass**, as the space is a co-working environment during the day. **Please remember, our event is only happening from 18:00 to 20:00** **How the Sprachcafé works** We use different materials to help participants gain confidence in German. Together with whiteboards and our volunteers, the Sprachcafé is based on **interactive conversations** in small groups. **Participation fee** The Sprachcafé has a **participation fee of 5 €**, which helps cover organizational costs and **includes one soft drink for free**. Tickets can be purchased directly on the day of the event, card and cash payments are accepted. As the Sprachcafé has become very popular, we now need to **limit the number of participants**. Please understand this measure; it ensures that everyone has a comfortable space to practice. We kindly ask you to be **rücksichtsvoll** and only RSVP “Yes” if you are certain you can attend. If your plans change at the last minute, please update your RSVP so someone on the waiting list can take your spot. Getting your ticket early can help secure your place. **Please note** Our event will begin **promptly** at the scheduled start time. If you arrive late, we cannot guarantee your participation, even if you have a ticket or have RSVP’d. We encourage all guests to arrive on time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. **About Denizen** Denizen is a new-style co-working space focused on being an integral part of local communities.

**ℹ️ The next meetups will be managed on Luma.** **You can register for this event 👉 [here](https://luma.com/9pmwcjpn). Follow the Django User Group Berlin Calendar on Luma.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-​ In July we'll be hosted -- for the first time! -- by **[Ableton](https://www.ableton.com)**, famous for creating beloved software for musicians, and who run their website on Django. Be sure to chat to them while you sample their food and drinks. This month, like last, we'll have a speaker from within our own community! **Bilal Tonga,** Senior Software Engineer, creator of the Python Library Puhu, and a regular attendee of the Django User Group Berlin. His talk will be about **"What's Django tasks and should I switch from Celery?**". As always, please make use of the **lightning talks** and talk about anything you like: a problem that you'd like help with, a thing you've built, or a hobby you like. Doesn't have to be Django, doesn't even have to be tech! **18:30 Doors open** **19:00 Main talk by Bilal Tonga** **19:30 Lightning talks** **19:45 Get eatin'** This event is governed by the **[Berlin code of conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/de/?utm_source=luma).** We want this to be a safe space for all.

Join us for an evening of Flutter, Dart, and networking hosted by CarOnSale. We'll kick things off with a deep dive into one of Dart's newest language features, followed by a second session and plenty of time to connect with fellow developers from the Berlin Flutter community. **Schedule** **18:30 — Doors Open** Check in, grab a drink, and meet fellow Flutter developers from the Berlin community. **19:00 — Welcome Notes** A short introduction from Flutter Berlin and our hosts at CarOnSale. **Talk 1 — Hiding Complexity with Dart Extension Types — Roman** Extension types in Dart 3.3+ let you elegantly hide the real complexity behind clean abstractions. They enable powerful patterns for true compile-time singletons with strong privacy guarantees, while also letting you build robust zero-cost Value Objects that enforce domain invariants and create a clear ubiquitous language — all with zero runtime cost. **About Roman** Roman is a Google-awarded Flutter Developer and Staff Mobile Engineer at CarOnSale.de, where he has worked for 4 years as part of his 8 years of Flutter experience (and over a decade in design). He loves Dart as his primary language and Rust as a complementary one (along with TS/Swift), but believes strong programming fundamentals matter more than any specific syntax. In his role he mentors Flutter developers and shapes architecture solutions. Outside of work he prioritizes family and open-source. **Talk 2 — TBA** Our second session of the evening will be announced soon. **20:30 — Networking & Socialising** Meet fellow Flutter developers, exchange ideas, discuss the talks, and connect with the local community. **22:00 — Doors Close** We wrap up the evening and head home inspired with new ideas and connections.
