Announce­ment from Shinzen Dojo regar­ding the current situa­tion

Dear parents, students and friends,

As you have surely already heard from the media: the infection rates in Berlin and Germany remain high, but a slightly positive trend has at least been emerging since last week.

Nevertheless, the situation in Berlin remains serious, so the Berlin Senate has prematurely extended the existing decisions in combination with a few additions decided and extended the lockdown until 14 Februaryy 2021 extended.

As a result, the dojos for children, teenagers and adults at Shinzen Dojo remain closed. However, Karate training continues in full swing! The online Karate course offers many people an alternative way to continue participating in Karate training from home. Especially for the children and teenagers who have not had regular sports lessons for months, this is a real and safe alternative.

Our website is also developing in the process and we will be optimising the offer for you over the coming weeks as well, so that you can organise your training from home or outdoors even better.

Wir bleiben sehr optimistisch, dass wir die Corona-Krise with all ihren Herausforderungen gut überstehen and noch stärker daraus hervor gehen werden. Unsere Dojo-Locations sind in Kreuzberg sowie Steglitz sind für die nächsten Monate gesichert.

Please continue to observe the existing hygiene measures in your area and workplace so that we can see each other again soon in the Shinzen Dojo for in-person classes.

We will answer your questions as best we can by email (info@shinzen-dojo.de) and address them in an FAQ over the next few weeks.

Stay healthy and keep motivated! OSU!

A white belt, his first tournament and straight away an experienced black belt as an opponent: For Victory Ogbonna, the IFK German Open 2026 became a special experience.
