Each martial art has its own unique history, ideas and principles. They all have a particular focus or specialty in which they excel. There is plenty of choice, while there are sometimes major differences between schools and teachers. Read here what you can expect from us and what not. See if we match and can meet each other’s expectations:
Dojo The Hague is a place where Aikido and Kenjutsu are practiced. It is not a fight club but a school of Budo. A place where we practice with each other, not against each other. Adults classes are mostly given in English while classes for children are both in Dutch and English. The atmosphere is friendly and accessible. Our teachers are kind, down-to-earth and pleasant to work with. Quality over quantity, a safe environment, good partners and assistants are just as important. Everyone counts, together we make our Dojo the cool place it is today. There is always room for positive people so,
just contact us for a new adventure.
Aikido is a popular Japanese Martial Art. The mixture of mind and body training, weapons and spirituality all in one, is what practitioners appreciate so much about Aikido …

Parents may have great plans but kids just wanna have fun, lol 😂. We have developed various games in which children learn to focus, be active and work together at the same time. Through Aikido they develop a sense of respect and responsibility for one another …
For our own Aikido and Katori students, who are interested in sword practice based on our own expertise and experiences as lifelong practitioners of Budo. Cool out-of-the-box stuff without following a specific style or school …
The roots of this swordsmanship date back to the 15th century, when Japan was still divided by warring states. The Way of the Samurai offers a deeper insight into the origins and development of Japanese culture and martial tradition. Directly or indirectly, sword is the basis of almost all Japanese martial arts. (terms and conditions apply)

*Help us keep money transfers clear:
We kindly request that you order your suit through us at the dojo.
Our supplier is Aiki-Budo Sport. Feel free to take a look at their website but order directly from us. We charge the same prices, select the right products and probably already have a suit of the right size in stock in the Dojo. Products that are not in order can easily be exchanged at the Dojo. Ordering directly from our dojo ensures uniformity and saves you time, hassle and extra expenses.
Our suit for lengths 150cm – 200cm Natsu
Our suit for lengths 110cm – 140cm Club
Our suit for lengths 080cm – 100cm Aspirant
*For people on a tight budget, please read the topic below ‘Suit refund’
Also feel free to contact us for assistance.
Is your child 4 years or older but not yet 18? Does your child have an Ooievaarspas reduction card?
Then we may have a tip: you may be able to submit an application to ‘Stichting Leergeld Den Haag’ for study materials such as a musical instrument or sports equipment such as a judo suit. Please note that these arrangements are separate from our Dojo and are entirely independent of our foundation.
Feel free to Contact us for any help.
We charge a one-time subscription fee of €15.
Our standard rate is €25 for Youth and €40 for Adults.
Perhaps some advantages to consider: You practice in a private and beautiful Dojo with fixed mats. So no dragging with heavy judo mats before and after class. You can also leave your gear in the Dojo. Our schedule offers sufficient training hours and students can practice outside the regular schedule in consultation. Stay if you like to chit-chat with some tea or coffee. The lessons are at one location near the center of The Hague.
We use monthly fees, so no long-term deals, but if you prefer to transfer more months then you can do that. Cancellation is easy and we do not charge any unexpected costs. We are a non-profit organization and we are not out for your money (or soul) trying to sell you a product.
Other than that, you should find a good place, group and teacher for yourself. Preferably a nice mix of quality and feel-good too, but we can advise you not to go just for the first Dojo around the corner. Feel-good alone eventually ends at some point and then you will have wasted precious time. Therefore, always look for real knowledge and experience first and then hope for a good click with the rest. Good luck in your search.
Start easily with our ‘1 month trial’ promotion.
Pay 25% less. For €30 you can take *all classes for 4 weeks without registration. So you don’t have to cancel anything. After the trial period, you can decide for yourself whether or not to register.
*Katori Shintoryu not included. Kenjutsu is fine.
Students pay €25 per month. This doesn’t include the subscription fee of €15. They may join all activities according to schedule.
*Students annually must demonstrate that they are still studying
Rules as of 2022:
*Note that the registration fee of €15 is not included.
Non-profit: Dojo The Hague is an initiative of the Seishin-seii Foundation. The foundation is run by volunteers, entirely on a non-profit basis. All teachers and staff members work 100% free of charge and receive no compensation for their efforts and time spend. Our primer goal is to facilitated Budo practice the best way possible for our community. Hence, we continuously invest in our location and study as life time practitioners of Budo.
No ANBI: It should be clear that we do not have an officially recognized ANBI (Public Benefit Institution): An organization can be designated as an ANBI by the Dutch State. This status entails a number of tax advantages for both the organization and for the Dutch taxpayer who makes a donation to the organization. We do not have this status and if you are interested, the monthly fees will be processed as a contribution accordingly.
You might think that Budo principles such as working on your better self, promoting harmony and world peace would be very useful and beneficial objectives for the common good of our society, but financially seen this may be a little too simplistic. Based on this alone, every Budo Sports and Yoga club could claim an ANBI status. We ourselves are mainly focused on our own benevolence in the Dojo and that is without ANBI status.

In Budo the relationship between the teacher and student is very important. The rules of conduct below (see link) have been drawn up by NOC*NSF and are aimed at trainers, coaches, supervisors and executives (hereinafter referred to as “trainers”). The rules of conduct indicate where the boundaries lie in the contact between trainers and practitionars. Supplemented with our house rules and codes of conduct, they form a guideline for interactions between trainers and practitionars. Dojo The Hague wholeheartedly endorses these rules in order to create a safe environment for everyone within the club.
For the Teachers Code of Conduct, click here [ in Dutch, english coming soon]
A pleasant and safe sports climate is what we stand for!
At Dojo The Hague everyone can be who he or she is. We hope that everyone feels at home and can enjoy exercising in a safe environment. To achieve this, everyone must do their part; teachers, assistants, board, volunteers, students and parents of students. We expect that everyone feels responsible for playing a positive role in this.
