About "Stage" (training camps) and exams

Training camps ("stage" in French) serve as a boost to practice and a review of our progress by Sensei. These are 1–2 weekend days with training and an examination of skills, organized a few times each year.

Don't forget:

  • kimono (karate-gi)
  • karate passport
  • food/drink for the breaks
  • exam form and/or a photo (can be a cheap printout)
  • payment slip (pay directly to Sensei, in advance: H. Nakajima, Chemin de l'Avanchet 21, 1216 Cointrin, IBAN: CH08 0900 0000 1203 7962 1)
  • if necessary, book a room to stay in well in advance

Competitions

Competitions are opt-in. They're also a great way to get more practice and to train with Sensei's students from other dojos.
