Autumn season 2024

Heya to the darkening evenings!

The autumn season is already halfway over. The Tuishou seminar was such a hit that we will probably organize another one in the spring! In anticipation of the spring season starting on the 7th January 2025, we have some winter activities for our kung fu family:

The Baji Association’s autumn meeting will take place on 14.12.2024 at 16:00 at Robert’s Coffee in Sähkötalo; an official invite with the meeting plan will be published closer to the event. Afterwards, we will move downstairs to restaurant Osaka Sushi for our annual Christmas party at 18:00. We have reserved our own cabinet in Osaka Sushi – pay your buffet when you come in (22,90€), and order your drinks from the bar. Don’t forget to sign-up so we know we have enough space!

There have been inquiries about our trip to China. Our time together in China is scheduled for next summer from the 9th to 20th of June 2025. More detailed information about the arrangements for the trip inclusive of signing up will be published sometime in January 2025.

Wishing you inner light,
The Board of Baji Association
