We practice in the gym hall of Kvarnbergsskolan in Karlstad. The adults (ippanbu) have practice three times a week and the junior’s group (shōnenbu) practice twice a week. Training times are as follow:
Ippanbu (adults, 13 years and older)
| Tuesday: | 18.00 – 20.00 |
| Thursday: | 18.00 – 20.00 |
| Saturday: | 10.00 – 12:00 (Free practice, instructor present but one practice individually. During the summer, June – August, we normally don’t have practice on Saturdays) |
Shōnenbu (juniors’ group, 7-12 years)
Due to that numbers of younger members decreased, we now do not have a separate group and time for the younger ones, but they participate in the first hour of the general group, where we divide the training so that the younger kenshi can practice their techniques, etc., but at the same time in the same room as the others.
| Tuesday: | 18.00 – 19.00 |
| Thursday: | 18.00 – 19.00 |
It is also possible for members to practice more on their own after each session. At this time it is possible for kenshi to practice their embu, prepare for grading tests, etc. Often there is some higher graded kenshi who can help out.
Most members of the branch’s adult group are between 13 and 60 years, but all ages are welcome.
(During the summer, the juniors’ group has “summer holiday”. On holidays it’s usually no practice.)
