There are always courses of every type going on in Leiden, but this one caught my eye: a month-long beginner’s course in karate for women over the age of 14.

The course is given by an association dedicated to teaching women karate (Shuri Ryu) and will start tonight (Sunday) at 19.45. It runs for one hour and also covers self-defense training. The course takes place in both Amsterdam and Leiden.

Not a bad idea, and a great opportunity to practice your Dutch. For more information look here.
