It is not a martial art; it does not have any attack techniques. There are no competitions, there is no element of competition. The effectiveness of Aikido as a self-defense art is not based on muscle power, but on the optimal use of the attack movement and the strength of the opponent. Circular, flowing movements from the body center are used to bring the opponent off balance. Then he is brought down and temporarily immobilized by means of a clamp.

More peace, a physically flexible body. Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art, movement art and art of living. The practice is tailored to the contemporary Western man, without changing the original principles. Practitioners learn to relax under pressure, which gives them a choice again and makes them more resilient. Aikido has an extensive system of martial art techniques, in which both unarmed and armed attackers are neutralized.

Sportschool Bushido is meer dan alleen vechtsport, toch zie je veel idealen vanuit de vechtsport terugkomen in de hele sportschool. Wij staan garant voor een fijne sfeer. Hard trainen, maar op z’n tijd ook een geintje.

Our dojo is relatively small in number with both men and women, but we are growing slowly. The core trains regularly and with great dedication and attention. This makes the training more personal. The learning curve is also higher because you get much more attention from the teacher present. The atmosphere is friendly without it being at the expense of attention and focus during the lessons. Everyone is given the space to develop at their own pace. This is also closely monitored by the teacher and the students. In addition, you can work more specifically towards an exam with a smaller group. The path (do) and progression that you take in this is more important than the final result. Everyone has their own goal in this too. And then it is not about the urge to perform, but more about the potential that someone has. One wants to become more flexible and the other a bit more firm. The trick is to investigate both facets so that they can exist side by side. So investigate what makes you too flexible or too firm.

Our dojo is open to young and old, to beginners, as well as to people who have done martial arts before – whether it is judo, jiu-jutsu, tai-chi, bagua, karate, (kick/thai) boxing or taekwando. You are welcome if you just want to train regularly with a nice group of people – or if you want to learn what mind and body coordination really means. What does blending (merging) the power (energy) of yourself and the other actually mean? How do you develop a martial body & mind? Why and how do certain techniques work better than others?

The friendly and homely atmosphere makes you feel right at home with us. Whether you come to develop yourself as a competitive or recreational athlete everything is possible with us. A professional team of experienced teachers will ensure that you get the most out of yourself. Feel free to drop by for a trial lesson in BJJ, MMA, JUDO, grappling or Kickboxing.
