Open Training
Sunday @ 10 AM – 12PM
During open training, there is an instructor present, but they do not lead a class. Instead, they supervise and provide guidance as needed. Practitioners come together to support each other in their learning, and there are always advanced practitioners available to help you progress. Open training is also the perfect time to prepare for grading exams.
