To ensure that the Waldsee jesters can prepare properly for the fifth season, we have moved our training outdoors on a few dates. The multi-purpose room at the Hermann–Gmeiner–Schule will be used for rehearsals on these days. The outdoor training sessions will take place on 15 January 2026, 22 January 2026 and 12 February 2026 – on these days we will be training in the schoolyard. There are many good reasons to practise martial arts and training outdoors. That is why Tatsu-Ryu-Bushido also offers regular courses in nature (usually in summer, however). During the first of our three outdoor training sessions on 15 January 2026, we focused on footwork, walking and running with (training) weapons, as well as long weapons. We also looked at different categories of stick weapons and discussed their origins and areas of application.
