"Stage" (training camps) and Exams

Training camps ("stage" in French) serve as a boost to practice and also as a review of our progress by Sensei. These are 1-2 weekend days with training and an examination of skills, organized a few times each year.

"Stage" are usually held in one of these locations:

• Hombu Dojo in Geneva

• Shung Do Kwan Budo in Geneva

• once a year in the school "Im Widmer" in Langnau am Albis

• kimono (karate-gi)
• karate passport
• food/drink for the breaks
• exam form and/or a photo (can be a cheap printout)
• payment slip (pay directly to Sensei, in advance: H. Nakajima, Chemin de l'Avanchet 21, 1216 Cointrin, CCP 12-37962-1)
• if necessary, book a room to stay in well in advance (for Geneva)
• towel, if you want to take a shower after
