Private Karate Experience in Kyoto
Studio Tomi offers basic karate training and exciting performance experiences.
Authentic karate uniforms are available for rent at the studio.
We begin with basic training by putting on the sleeves of the gi and tightening the obi.
After learning about breathing and the spirit of etiquette, a professional trainer will perform a dance.
We also have a performance called “Saiwari”. This is done by breaking the board with your bare hands.
Since it uses the power of energy to break, even women and children can easily break it.
At the end of the experience, we plan to take a commemorative photo wearing the gi.
The experience is completely private and limited to one group per lesson, so
One of the attractions is that you can participate only with close partners.
The trainer who teaches the training has 25 years of experience in karate. He is a talented former kickboxing champion, so participants can enjoy a meaningful karate experience even in a short amount of time.
