Combine the European Gasshuku with a holiday in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands has surprisingly much to offer! A wide variety of experiences and destinations await you.

We have highlighted a few suggestions for you:

**ISLANDS**

Five islands, five times the enjoyment! The combination of the open horizon, the endless sky above the Wadden Sea, and the unique transition between mudflats and sea makes a visit to the Wadden Islands a truly special experience.

**WINDMILLS**

The Dutch have been keeping the water at bay for more than 750 years. At Kinderdijk, you can discover how the Netherlands has managed to live below sea level for centuries. Take a boat tour past the iconic windmills, meet the millers, and explore the inside of the mills. It’s a fascinating place to learn about the history and future of Dutch water management.

**BEACH, DUNES AND SEE**

Located in the heart of the Dutch delta, Zeeland is the ultimate holiday destination. Vast beaches, unique nature reserves, and breathtaking panoramas create the perfect setting for relaxation and adventure. Zeeland is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, nature lovers, and food lovers alike. Explore historic towns, enjoy fresh local seafood, sample regional drinks, breathe in the fresh sea air, and completely unwind.

And last weekend it was the other way round… Sensei Torben Svendsen and Sensei Jana Nendel visited our dojo in Düsseldorf for an exquisite internal training.

From Friday evening to Sunday afternoon we worked intensively on the basics of Okinawa Guju Ryu, with a deep dive into Junbi Undo, Tora Guchi and application. We got into several Kata and their Bunkai and were quite challenged in our endurance!
With a nice get together and exchange it was a wonderful weekend. Many thanks to Sensei Torben and Sensei Jana! We are looking forward your next visit and are happy and grateful for the support to grow further.

We also had dear guests from Belgium and very qualitative support from Sensei Ivan Cools. It’s always a joy to have you with us.

Und letztes Wochenende war es dann wieder andersherum... Sensei Torben Svendsen und Sensei Jana Nendel besuchten unser Dojo in Düsseldorf für ein exquisites internes Training.

Freitag Abend bis Sonntag Nachmittag trainierten wir intensiv an den Grundlagen des Okinawa Guju Ryu, mit einem tiefen Eintauchen in Junbi Undo, Tora Guchi und Anwendungen. Wir beschäftigten uns mit verschiedenen Kata und deren Bunkai und wurden in unserer Durchhaltefähigkeit ziemlich herausgefordert!

Mit einem netten Beisammensein und Austausch war es ein wunderbares Wochenende. Vielen Dank an Sensei Torben und Sensei Jana! Wir freuen uns auf euren nächsten Besuch und sind froh und dankbar für die Unterstützung!

Wir hatten auch wieder gern gesehene Gäste aus Belgien und sehr kompetente Verstärkung durch Sensei Ivan Cools. Es ist immer eine Freude, euch bei uns zu haben.
