Venue confirmed

From Sweden Taikai 2012 by alexander

Dear Bujinkan friends, we are happy to announce that we’ve confirmed the venue. We will be at KFUM-hallen at Brigadgatan 20 on the old regimental grounds in Linköping. As you can see from the map, parking is not a problem (even though it is not free), and walking from downtown is about 15-20 minutes.

The training venue for Tai Kai 2012
We have also made arrangements for two hotels downtown, Linköpings City Hotell och Vandrarhem (10 multiple-bed rooms, total of 29 beds) and Frimurarehotellet (a total of 30 double rooms, some with possibility of one and two extra beds). As soon as you’ve registered, we will provide you with the booking codes for the hotels. Please note – there are several conferences going on in Linköping the same weekend as Tai Kai 2012, so don’t be late in booking your rooms.

Fourth instructor confirmed!

From Sweden Taikai 2012 by alexander

…and finally the fourth instructor is confirmed. We are pleased to present Steve Olsen from Japan as the fourth and final instructor for Tai Kai Sweden 2012, whitch means that the instructor lineup is identical to last years smashing success!

We will hopefully have the venue details sorted the coming thursday, after which I’ll update this page with more info.

Third instructor confirmed, preparations underway

From Sweden Taikai 2012 by alexander

We are very happy to confirm that Rob Renner will be back for Tai Kai 2012 in October!

We are in the final preparation stages for the training venue, as well as preliminary booking of hotels and hostels. At the moment we are looking at some 10 multi-bed rooms at a hostel, and about 30 double- triple and quadruple bed rooms at a hotel. As soon as these preparations are finalized we’ll be back with more information.

Tai Kai 2012 is on the roll!

From Sweden Taikai 2012 by alexander

We are happy to say that the work with Tai Kai 2012 in Linköping is humming along nicely. There are many details still in the air, but the big picture is almost finished. We can confirm that Sveneric Bogsäter and Duncan Stewart are returning for this Tai Kai, and the two other slots are just about set (hint: you’ll recognize these faces!)

We will be posting a lot of information in the weeks and months to come, but we’d just like to give you all a heads up that there are a few conferences and similar going on in the Linköping area at the same time as Tai Kai 2012, so there are preciously few hotel/hostel rooms to be found. We are going to pre-book a certain number of rooms, but the details are not yet quite set.

Stay tuned!
