What To Know

A Japanese culture festival landing in a mid-sized Polish city, rather than only the capital, is the actual story - it brings martial arts try-it sessions and real craft workshops to fans who don't usually get events this close to home.

Offering hands-on martial arts try-it sessions (aikido, kendo, iaido, karate) rather than just demonstrations reflects how these are living, practiced disciplines in Japan, not museum pieces - the same hands-on approach dojos themselves use to introduce newcomers.
