Our karate trainer is Sensei Prof. Dr. Kakhaber Markozashvili, is a former Georgian champion and since he does this for a living, the monthly fee for every participant is 50 GEL, cash or bank transfer.
As Sensei Markozashvili says: “After a couple of trainings, you will become International Warriors Association!”
These sessions would be useful not only for body shape, but also to grow strength, fight cholesterol and also knowing self defense in case of need.
There is no need for previous knowledge and is not necessary to be sporty-this course is for international and Georgian ladies of any shape and age, only for the pleasure to train together.
No need for kimono, the training takes place in comfortable sports attire.
