Our club is hosting a Kagamibiraki-shiki this weekend!

Kagamibiraki (鏡開き) is a traditional Japanese celebration of the New Year. It’s often celebrated by breaking open a ceremonial rice cake (kagami mochi) or sake barrel, but in this case Kagamibiraki is a tradition among Japanese martial arts communities to celebrate the first training of the year. We hope you can join us this year for a series of classes and demonstrations!
