BAJI ASSOCIATION
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

Hi there!

The summer has been kind in regards to both weather and training, and now it’s time to turn our heads toward the autumn season!

The autumn season begins on Monday 2nd of September and our training places remain the same as last season. The last set of practice in the autumn season is on Thursday 12th of December, and the autumn season ends with our Christmas party on Saturday 14th of December. Our Schedules have been updated on our website and will be actively kept up to date as changes occur – take note of the outdoor training in September!

We also ask for your patience with paying for the season, as between August-September our association’s bank account will change, and it will take a while to make this change for all our payment services. We will update you once this is done. 

During the autumn we plan on hosting at least on weekend seminar, on which there will be more information later.

See you at training!

With autumn regards,
Baji Association announcers
