Sensei Rebecca gives her thoughts on the 2023 Vienna Internationals:
"I attended my first Internationals Course last year in Vienna. It was a chance to meet some amazing jitsuka from all over the world; The two highlights for me were the seminars led by Sensei Robert Horak and Sensei Simon Ogden. Sensei Horak taught about disupting the flow and essentially kuzushi even from a kneeling down position, providing an awesome demonstration of how effective his technique was. Sensei Simon Ogden was extremely technically minded giving clear instruction and explanations for his effortless yet brutally effective techniques."
The Internationals unite TJJF clubs from around the world for a week of training, fun, and socializing. You will experience specialized seminars from exceptional instructors. It is a relaxed, informal, and cheerful get together for all ages to celebrate our art and friendship.
