ℹ️ Buy a suit

For beginners it’s fine not to buy an outfit right away. It’s okay to wait until you’re sure you want to continue. However, after about 2 to 3 months we would like you to start wearing a proper suit. Buying weapons is not strictly necessary. We have plenty of weapons for loan at the Dojo. Your own weapons may be left behind in the Dojo.

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.

*Possible options for low-income families:

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.

💳 subscription fee

We charge a one-time subscription fee of €15.

💳 standard fee

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.

💳 1 month trail

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.

💳 Non-profit

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.
