    Introduction to karate

    By Marie Bouard, instructor at Niji-Kan Karaté Do, an LGBT karate club
    Open to begin­ners, free, by reg­is­tra­tion only at info@­be­ton­salon.net

    As an exten­sion of Monique Wittig’s col­lec­tive read­ings at Bétonsalon since the begin­ning of the year 2023, this intro­duc­tion to karate is an oppor­tu­nity to get in shape and put into prac­tice the decon­struc­tion of gender rela­tions. In the long his­tory of the links between fem­i­nist move­ments and self-defence, it is also a nod to the prac­tice of this mar­tial art by many fem­i­nists of the 1970s, including Monique Wittig, who began prac­tising it in 1975 and through it met Sande Zeig, her teacher and later her partner, with whom she wrote Brouillon pour un dic­tion­naire des amantes the fol­lowing year.

    Saturday, September 9, from 4pm to 6pm
