It starts in 5 weeks! We are pleased to announce that, for the first time, students from Germany will also be participating in our training trip to Sri Lanka! The upcoming Samurai Camp will take place from 1 April 2026 at an inspiring location in Ragama, Sri Lanka, and offers an exciting programme over five full days. During the first three days, participants can take part in seminars at the Sri Lanka Muay Thai Kick Boxing Federation. In the mornings, Tatsu-Ryu-Bushido with Christian Wiederanders will lead the training sessions on two mats. After a refreshing lunch break, participants can look forward to a varied martial arts programme. Here are the disciplines on offer and their trainers:
- Muay Thai with Dr Renil Fernando
- Taekwondo with G.S. Hasangi Sewwandika Sathsarani
- MMA & Judo & BJJ with Shenal Fernando
- Kalarippayat with Yuri Swami Manas
- Capoeira with Kaushalya Nirmana
- Taekwondo with Nisha Fernando
- Tatsu-Ryu-Bushido with Christian Wiederanders
Each day of the course will conclude with a relaxing session with Dr Nilangika Kumari, who will offer either yoga or Zumba. From Wednesday to Friday, you can expect inspiring training sessions, but on Saturday there are three major events: the day begins with belt examinations, followed by the 7th Muay Thai Combat Fight Night 2026, and in the evening we celebrate the 39th anniversary of Tatsu-Ryu-Bushido with a lively party. What makes the 7th Muay Thai Combat Fight Night 2026 special is that two fighters from Germany, Tristan and Rolf, will be taking part. Sunday will end with a festive ceremony where certificates, medals and awards will be presented. There will also be an exciting exchange between the different martial arts as part of a fitting conclusion to the New Year celebrations. As usual, registration is via Kaushalya Nirmana on +94 71 854 0581 (Sri Lanka). We look forward to welcoming you all to Samurai Camp in April 2026! Join us and experience a unique fusion of martial arts in a fascinating environment!
