Come to Awase Dojo (Mondays or Wednesdays)
Awase Dojo offers regular beginner-level classes where you can join and start your training at your convenience. We do not have a “beginning of the season” beginner’s course, so you can indeed join in the middle of the season. You are welcome to attend the training regardless of your fitness level.

  • DOJO
    Awase training dojo is located at Kaapelitehdas – Cable Factory, Building C, 4th floor.
  • TRAINING SCHEDULES
    Beginner-level classes are held on Mondays from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM and on Wednesdays from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Come to the dojo (as you are)
You can join the training anytime without prior registration or preparation: just wear comfortable, movement-friendly clothes. Anyone can start training regardless of their fitness level or sports background.

  • TRAINING SESSIONS
    Arrive about 15 minutes before the start of the training session.
  • TRAINING CLOTHING
    Bring comfortable clothing (sweatpants and a sleeved T-shirt or similar), a towel, and indoor shoes. You can later get a training uniform. Ask for advice on getting a uniform during the training sessions.
  • CHANGING ROOM
    Before training, wash your feet and use indoor shoes when moving from the changing room to the dojo. Changing rooms are also located on the 4th floor.
  • JEWELRY AND HAIR
    Tie long hair and remove rings and other jewelry during the training sessions.

Fees and Licenses
