Goals

Depending on the need, martial arts are trained with different orientations, either as a combat sport, martial art or self-defense.

The martial artists are concerned with improving their athletic performance and comparing themselves with other athletes in competition. They train the fighting technique to perfect themselves mentally and physically. The success in the competition is not in the foreground. They live and train according to the principle "The way is the goal".

Self-defender train for the need of safety. They want to be put in a position to be able to defend themselves in the event of an attack on themselves, on others or even on property. They practice the behavior in different scenarios of a possible self-defense situation. Techniques from all fighting systems are used. It is possible to practice each fighting style under one of the three aspects.

News

In order to satisfy the different needs, we carry out different weekend events. There is the MMA weekend (Mixed Martial Arts). There, representatives of different fighting styles meet to try out their fighting technique in a free, friendly sparring.

Another highlight is the weekend of Asian martial arts (WAK). The trainers of our university sports courses present their martial arts. At this workshop everyone has the opportunity to get to know the different styles and also to try them out right away.

For the ambitious competitor there is the possibility to participate in the competitions of the ADH. We organize the Central German University Judo Championship every year.
