Since the content of the following seminar to be held on Saturday, January 22 is about Shiai and refereeing methods, we will inevitably need quite a few people. 

However, due to the increase in the number of people infected with the new COVID variant in Japan, it has been decided that it would be better to limit the number of people who attend and help out with the seminar in Japan.

For this reason, we would appreciate it if you would allow us to postpone the seminar until the COVID-19 calms down, so we can gather the necessary number of people. 

The postponed date will be February 19, starting at 18:00 Japan time to make it easier for people in Australia, Asia, and Europe to attend.

For those who have already paid, we will be refunding your money. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and kindly ask for your understanding.

Saturday, February 19, 2022, 18:00-20:00 p.m. Japan time
