Inform the staff when booking that you will come to the Kaizenkai event and you will get a 25 % discount. www.publichotel.se, phone: +46 8 - 55 80 9000.
Logistics: Everything is within walking distance from the hotel like the Dojo Kaizenkan where we train on Friday night (and all other days if rain) and a shopping centre. Saturday and Sunday trainings are outdoors on the beautiful Brevik Beach and if you need a transport (4 km), you need to stay outside of the hotel 30 min before the training start. Take something to eat with you for lunch like a salad, fruits or Hotdogs if you like to make a BBQ on the beach.

The Sushi dinner will take place at the dojo on Saturday night at 7 PM and the cost is 300 SEK/30 EUR including beer or wine, and 200 SEK/20 EUR for a menu with non-alcoholic drinks. Pay for the dinner at same time as you pay the entry fee for the camp: cash, swish (123 090 53 07 (Kaizenkan)), or money transfer before the start of the training camp.
Equipment: Bring your Gi and/or Hakama and the weapons like Bo, Sai, Tonfa and bokken/iaito with you, if you will train with them. We also have some Bo and Bokken you can use.
