Jōdō, which means ‚the way of the stick‘, is an elegant and strong Japanese martial art that requires focus and perseverance.

In the beginning you will learn how to handle the wooden stick (Jō) through the exercise of striking and thrusting (Kihon). You will then learn how to use these techniques in combination by practising forms (Kata). You will also learn how to react to your opponent’s attacks with a wooden sword (Bokken) and what to strike for.

We train every Tuesday evening at 19:30 for two hours in the Dojo Binz in the city of Zurich.

Learning Jōdō with us is a great opportunity to have two hours of uninterrupted time to concentrate on one task: To work on your skills in this beautiful martial art, which you can always improve.

Our teacher Charles Martig has over 20 years of experience in teaching Jōdō.

We are an official association with seven members of different advancements in the way of the stick and are part of the European Jodo Federation. We value joy, safety and a willingness to improve and teach.
