The new schedule is up!
Schedule English Nihongo
Christmas has been cancelled! Well, at least the Christmas Day capoeira class has. No capoeira class on Sunday 25th December.
Like we promised, we have a new training venue, much closer to the train station, and more convenient for most people.
So, check it out everyone. The new training venues are Mitaka Dai San Sho Gakkou and Mitaka Dai Yon Chu Gakkou. They are really close to the JR Chuo Line Mitaka Station, which is only one stop from Kichijoji on the Chuo Line.
Check the best way to get to Mitaka from your closest station. Click here.
We’ll have walking directions with photos to the two new schools very soon. In the meantime, check out this map on the Yon Chu website.
At the top of the picutre, you can see Mitaka Station. Take the South Exit, walk down Mitaka Dori (Street), and then take a right. Yon Chu and San Sho are facing each other.

Is there a Fuka-Fuka-Matto in Yon-chu?
I need it for my Acrobat Trainning, ha-ha.
I’m not sure what a Fuka-Fuka-Matto is, but they have a Hori-Shitto-Matto!! You can look at this site for videos from Sansho
I worked out new location will shave off 5 minutes of total journey time - Its 18 minutes walk at present -to our regular go chu- which will be reduced by 8 minutes but 3 minutes has to be added as it travelling further from Kichijoji to Mitaka by train!
Yeah, Mitaka is an extra one stop from Kichijoji, but it only takes one minute for the train to travel between the two stations. Perhaps the train waits at Kichijoji station for less than a minute, so it’s less than 3 minutes extra travel time. But who’s counting seconds anyway? I’m sure it will be much more straight forward for new people to find their way to San Sho and Yon Chu, plus they are closer to the station. I’ll leave this Comment with a famous quote for you all “I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death. What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch and you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities. You become a little baby, you go back into the womb, spend your last nine months floating… and you finish off as an orgasm.”
