New Aikido training in Haarlemmerbuurt, Amsterdam

New Aikido training in Haarlemmerbuurt, Amsterdam – Traditional martial arts with a modern mindset

We are proud to introduce a new Aikido training program in the Haarlemmerbuurt, Amsterdam, designed for anyone interested in authentic Japanese martial arts, effective movement, and personal development. Located in one of Amsterdam’s most vibrant neighborhoods, our martial arts gym now offers structured Aikido trainings for adults of all experience levels.

What makes this Aikido training unique?

Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art rooted in classical samurai combat systems. Unlike competitive martial arts, Aikido focuses on harmony, efficiency, and control. Techniques consist of joint locks, throws, posture control, and balance breaking, all performed with precision rather than brute force.

In our new training program, we emphasize:

Correct posture and natural movement
Balance, distance, and timing
Breathing and relaxation under pressure
Safe and effective technical application

This approach makes Aikido suitable for beginners while remaining challenging and valuable for experienced martial artists.

Aikido training without competition

One of the defining characteristics of Aikido is the absence of competition. Training is not about winning or losing, but about understanding movement, intent, and one’s own physical and mental limitations. This creates a focused and respectful learning environment, ideal for long-term development.

At higher levels, controlled pressure testing can be introduced, but safety always comes first. Beginners are guided carefully to prevent injuries, especially since many Aikido techniques involve joint control.

Individual growth through martial arts

There is no single “correct” body type or way to perform Aikido. Each student develops techniques according to their own physical abilities. Training often becomes a mirror: you learn how you move, react, tense, or hesitate.

Through consistent practice, students often notice:

Improved balance and coordination
Better posture and breathing
Increased mental focus and calmness
Greater confidence in movement and daily life

This makes Aikido not just a martial art, but a method for overall physical and mental refinement.

Weapons training: Katana and Jo

As part of traditional Aikido practice, our lessons also include training with Katana (Japanese sword) and Jo (wooden staff). Weapons training enhances understanding of distance, timing, and body alignment, and deepens insight into empty-hand techniques. All weapon practice is conducted safely and progressively.

Ideal for beginners and experienced martial artists

Aikido is an excellent choice if you are new to martial arts, but it is also a powerful supplement for practitioners of kickboxing, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, or other combat sports. Our training focuses on the “grammar of Budo”: Universal martial principles such as balance breaking, footwork, positioning, relaxation, and intent, which apply across all disciplines.

Martial arts in the Haarlemmerbuurt, Amsterdam

Our martial arts gym is easily accessible for those in the Haarlemmerbuurt, Spaardammerbuurt and surrounding areas such as Westerpark and the city center. Classes are taught by an experienced instructor, sensei Michaël Veerman, who value tradition, effectiveness, and open-minded practice.

If you are looking for Aikido in Amsterdam and want to train in a focused, respectful, and technically grounded environment, this new program offers exactly that.

Try Aikido for YOURSELF

The best way to understand Aikido is to experience it on the mat. Whether your goal is martial effectiveness, physical improvement, or personal development, you are welcome to join us.

Staying calm during sparring or matches
Controlling stress and adrenaline surges
Maintaining focus under pressure
Responding intentionally rather than reacting impulsively

Anyone looking to improve focus, confidence, and emotional control

Self-defence workshop | Sunday September 28, 2025 | 11:00 – 12:30 PM

Yes, we agree. In the ideal world you shouldn’t have the need of self-defence skills. But unfortunately it is.
Especially when one looks at the current state of society..

So are you looking to enhance your self-defence skills or simply gain confidence in your personal safety?
We have exciting news for you! By popular demand, our self-defence workshop based on the ancient art of Japanese Jujutsu is coming back soon. Whether you are a beginner or have some prior martial arts experience, this workshop is designed to empower individuals of all skill levels.

What is Japanese Jujutsu?

Japanese Jujutsu is a centuries-old martial art that focuses on close combat techniques, combining grappling, joint locks, throws, and strikes to neutralize an opponent. Unlike other martial arts that emphasize strength, Jujutsu teaches practitioners to use the opponent’s energy and movements against them. This makes it an ideal self-defence technique, particularly for those who may not have the physical strength to overpower an attacker.

Jujutsu is often referred to as “the art of flexibility” because of its emphasis on adaptive techniques that respond to various attack scenarios. The beauty of Jujutsu lies in its practicality and versatility, making it effective for both armed and unarmed confrontations. Whether you’re facing an armed attacker or someone larger and stronger, Jujutsu equips you with the skills to defend yourself with ease and efficiency.

Why attend our Jujutsu-based self-defence workshop?

1. Learn practical self-defence techniques
Our workshop is designed to teach you actionable, real-world techniques you can apply immediately to defend yourself in dangerous situations. You will learn how to break free from holds, counter strikes, and safely neutralize threats, all based on time-tested Jujutsu methods.

2. Gain confidence in your ability to defend yourself
One of the main benefits of practicing Jujutsu is the confidence it instills. Knowing you have the skills and techniques to protect yourself gives you the mental strength to stay calm and collected in high-stress situations.

3. Improve your physical fitness and flexibility
Jujutsu training is a full-body workout. From strengthening your core to improving your balance, flexibility, and agility, you’ll see noticeable improvements in your physical fitness as you progress through the workshop. Training your body to move with fluidity is not only beneficial in self-defence scenarios but also enhances your overall health and well-being.

4. Connect with like-minded individuals
Our workshops offer a supportive, welcoming environment where you can meet other individuals passionate about self-defence and martial arts. Training together with a community can motivate you to push your limits and achieve your personal goals.

5. Suitable for all skill levels
Whether you’ve never stepped onto a mat or you’re an experienced martial artist, this workshop is designed for everyone. The techniques will be taught progressively, allowing beginners to learn at their own pace while more experienced practitioners can refine their skills and knowledge.

What will you learn in the workshop?

In this Jujutsu-based self-defence workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience with the following:

Escape Techniques: Learn how to break free from common holds and grabs, both standing and on the ground.
Joint Locks: Master how to use joint manipulation to control an opponent’s movement and neutralize threats.
Throws and Takedowns: Discover how to use leverage to throw an opponent to the ground, creating the opportunity for further control.
Basic Strikes: Learn how to strike vulnerable points on the body for maximum effectiveness.
Situational Awareness: Understand the importance of being aware of your surroundings and how to avoid dangerous situations before they escalate.

Why Jujutsu is an ideal self-defence system

Japanese Jujutsu’s focus on using technique over brute strength makes it an ideal martial art for people of all shapes, sizes, and physical abilities. Unlike some fighting systems that require significant muscle mass or athleticism, Jujutsu focuses on leverage, timing, and technique—skills that anyone can learn, regardless of their background.

Jujutsu also emphasizes the importance of self-control and awareness. In a self-defence situation, it’s not just about fighting; it’s about assessing the threat, managing your emotions, and responding appropriately. This mental aspect of Jujutsu helps individuals maintain composure and think clearly, even under pressure.

Why choose our self-defence workshop?

Our instructor is highly skilled, experienced martial artists with years of training in Japanese Jujutsu. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and ensuring that every participant gains valuable self-defence skills. The workshop will be taught in a safe, respectful environment with plenty of individual attention to ensure that everyone can learn and grow at their own pace.

ZUU Fitness: Mobility and bodyweight training for martial artists who want to level up

If you train in martial arts, you already know that strength, speed, and stamina are crucial.
But what about mobility and control?
What if you could move more fluidly, strike more powerfully, and recover faster. All without picking up a single weight? That’s where ZUU Fitness comes in.

ZUU fitness is not just another fitness trend.

It’s a revolutionary training method that combines mobility training and bodyweight exercises into one high-intensity workout. The JYM Movement specifically incorporate this fitness method to enhance your performance as a martial artist. Whether you’re into boxing, kickboxing, BJJ, MMA, or traditional martial arts, ZUU Fitness can unlock new levels of movement, power, and resilience.

In this article, we’ll break down what ZUU Fitness is, why it’s perfect for martial artists, and how you can start incorporating it into your training today.

What is ZUU Fitness?

ZUU Fitness was developed in Australia by Nathan Helberg, initially used by elite military units and professional athletes. It’s a form of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) that emphasizes mobility, flexibility, and raw bodyweight strength. All in one session.

What sets ZUU Fitness apart from conventional workouts?

No Equipment: You use your own body weight as resistance.
Joint-Friendly: Movements open up the joints and tendons, improving overall mobility.
Functional Patterns: Exercises mimic primal movements like crawling, squatting, and lunging.
Mental Toughness: The sessions are intense, challenging both your body and your willpower.

Think of ZUU Fitness as the missing link between strength and fluidity. Two essential qualities in martial arts.

Why martial artists need mobility training

Mobility is your ability to move freely through your full range of motion, not just flexibility, but active control over your movements. It’s one thing to kick high; it’s another to do it with balance, speed, and no risk of injury.Most martial artists spend hours perfecting technique, sparring, and conditioning. But neglect mobility. That’s a problem.Without proper mobility:

Your punches and kicks lose range and power.
Your joints become stiff and prone to injury.
Recovery takes longer, and fatigue sets in faster.
You’re more likely to plateau in performance.

ZUU fitness fixes that by prioritizing dynamic mobility exercises from the very first minute. You’ll be moving through low stances, crawling patterns, and rotational sequences that open up the hips, shoulders, spine, and ankles. All the major problem areas for martial artists.

Bodyweight training that transfers to the mat

Traditional strength training is great for raw power, but it often lacks transferability to the mat or ring. ZUU Fitness’s approach is different: it builds functional strength with natural movement patterns.

Bear crawls (for core stability and shoulder endurance)
Gorillas (for hip opening and dynamic coordination)
Frogs (for explosive leg strength)
Push-up variations (for upper body strength and joint control)

These movements are done in high repetition and often flow into each other. Mimicking the unpredictable, full-body demands of martial arts sparring or competition. The result? You get stronger where it counts.ZUU doesn’t just work your muscles. It rewires your movement.

Benefits of ZUU Fitness martial artists

Let’s look at the direct benefits ZUU Fitness provides for martial artists of all disciplines:

1. Injury prevention

By improving joint mobility and tendon resilience, ZUU Fitness reduces your risk of common martial arts injuries like:

Tweaked knees
Tight hips
Shoulder impingements
Lower back strain

2. Improved recovery

ZUU Fitness enhances blood flow, oxygenation, and flexibility. Helping you bounce back faster between training sessions.

3. Increased functional strength

You’ll build strength that translates into stronger clinches, takedowns, and strikes. Without bulking up unnecessarily.

4. Explosive conditioning

Because ZUU Fitness is structured as a HIIT workout, it trains your anaerobic and aerobic systems simultaneously. Think: short bursts of animal-style movement followed by brief recovery periods. Exactly like a real fight.

5. Mental toughness

The workouts are deliberately intense. You’ll be challenged physically and mentally, simulating the grit and focus required during a sparring match or a tough belt test.

How ZUU Fitness complements your martial arts practice

If you already train 2–3 times a week in martial arts, you don’t need to replace your routine. Instead, ZUU Fitness can be added as:

A warm-up or cool-down to improve joint prep and recovery
A standalone session for strength and mobility on off-days
A group class to build team conditioning and camaraderie

A 30–45 minute ZUU Fitness session 1–2 times per week is enough to see massive improvements in how you move, feel, and perform. Both in training and in life.

Bodyweight training Core & Strength

Core & strength training. Train like a fighter, no experience needed

Looking to take your martial arts performance to the next level? Your body is your most powerful weapon. And it all starts with a strong core, mobility, and endurance. At our martial arts gym, we’re excited to introduce a dynamic new workout session led by trainer Jimmy, designed to push your limits and build real functional strength. This isn’t your average fitness class. It’s high-intensity, bodyweight-only training. Crafted for martial artists, athletes, and anyone ready to level up.

Almost everyday, check our schedule.

Why bodyweight training?

Bodyweight exercises are more than just convenient—they’re brutally effective. You use your own weight as resistance, which mimics real-life movements and combat scenarios. This helps develop control, coordination, and explosive power—essentials for striking, grappling, and defensive work.

Trainer Jimmy’s sessions focus on:

Core Endurance: A strong core is your power center. Expect planks, leg raises, mountain climbers, and dynamic movements that challenge your stability and stamina.
Strength Training: Using only your bodyweight, you’ll perform variations of push-ups, squats, lunges, and holds. These exercises will build lean muscle, improve posture, and give you better control during sparring or rolling.

Mobility Work: Tight hips and shoulders can limit your range and leave you vulnerable to injury. Trainer Jimmy integrates mobility drills that enhance flexibility, joint health, and functional movement.

What to expect

This is not a chill session—it’s a grind. Be ready to sweat, breathe hard, and push through fatigue. But the results? Increased endurance, a rock-solid core, and the kind of strength that actually transfers to your martial arts game.

Who is it for?

Martial artists looking to boost their performance
Beginners who want to build a solid foundation
Fitness enthusiasts who crave a bodyweight challenge
Anyone who wants to train like a fighter—without needing equipment

Train smart. Train hard.

Trainer Jimmy brings not only experience but serious energy. His coaching style is motivational, hands-on, and focused on helping you achieve progress every single session.

It’s time to ditch excuses and show up for yourself.

Ready to train like a fighter? Join Trainer Jimmy’s bodyweight strength and mobility called Core & Strength this week and feel the difference. Sign up for a try out now and become the strongest version of YOU.

Boxing basics Training

Why Boxing basics are fundamental

Discover the power of mastering the foundations in a high-energy, beginner-friendly environment.

Whether you’re stepping into a boxing school for the first time or returning after a long break, one thing remains essential: boxing basics. At our martial arts school in Amsterdam, we place a strong focus on teaching the fundamentals of boxing—because the right start makes all the difference.

In this article, we’ll explore why boxing basics are so important, what you can expect to learn in our classes, and how these foundational skills lay the groundwork for everything else in martial arts and fitness.

What are Boxing Basics?

Boxing basics are the core techniques and movements every boxer, beginner or advanced, must master. They include:

Proper stance – Learning how to position your feet and maintain balance for movement and defense.

Guard position – How to keep your hands up to protect your face while maintaining fluid mobility.

Punching techniques – The correct way to throw a jab, cross, hook, and uppercut with control and power.

Footwork and shifting – How to move forward, backward, and side-to-side without losing stability.

Reflex training – Sharpening your ability to respond quickly to movement or strikes.

These aren’t just random drills—they are the foundation of effective boxing, and they support your progress in all other areas.

Why are Boxing basics so important?

At first glance, throwing punches and moving around might seem simple. But just like with any art form, boxing requires precision, coordination, and rhythm. Here’s why mastering the basics is essential:

Injury prevention; Many people make the mistake of jumping into high-intensity workouts or sparring sessions without a solid foundation. This can lead to poor form, strain injuries, or overuse of muscles. By learning proper form, you train your body to move safely and efficiently.
Faster progress;
When your basics are solid, everything else becomes easier. You’ll build speed, strength, and endurance more effectively, because you’re not wasting energy on incorrect movements.
Better reflexes and coordination;
Boxing isn’t just about power—it’s about timing and quick decision-making. Through drills focused on reflexes and movement, your reactions become sharper and your confidence grows.
Confidence;
Nothing beats the feeling of knowing exactly what to do, how to move, and how to protect yourself. Our students often say that learning the fundamentals helped them feel grounded and empowered— both in and out of the school.

What to expect in a Boxing Basics training at our Amsterdam school?

In every session, we combine technique training with high-energy workouts that boost your fitness and reinforce what you’re learning. Whether you’re training for fitness, self-defense, or personal development, here’s what a typical class might look like:

Warm-up with dynamic exercises to activate muscles and improve mobility.
Stance and movement drills to practice footwork, balance, and shifting weight.
Punching combinations using focus pads or the bag, with guidance on form.
Reflex and reaction games to challenge your coordination and response time.
Conditioning finishers to build strength and stamina.

We keep the vibe positive, motivating, and beginner-friendly. You’ll sweat, learn, and leave every training a little sharper than before.

Who is this for?

Our boxing basics classes are perfect for:

Complete beginners who want a safe, structured introduction to boxing.
People looking to improve their fitness in a dynamic, skill-based way.
Anyone interested in martial arts, self-defense, or stress relief.
