Reunion training
On Saturday May 10th 2025, Willem Haket, Kees Neervoort and Robin Jansen will gave a judo and jiu jitsu reunion training for members and former members, which was followed by a nice drink. You can see the pictures of this fun day here.
Survival
NB: the registration has been closed
Sunday afternoon, September 21 from 2 to 4:30 PM, we organize another survival for all members 8 years or older with a swimming diploma, + this year an extra activity😉
Survival here means taking a course with running through a forest and often crossing ditches with swinging ropes, car tires, climbing frames, clambering over and through tubes and so on. It’s all about agility, strength, daring and fun. And also important: working together, you go over the obstacles as a team.
Youth camp
The youth camp was once again a party, with some crafting, delicious food, and of course a ton of fun games. You can find the pictures here.
Hunt
On saturday September 27th, we’ll organise a hunt for all youth members aged 3 – 10. We’ll start at the dojo, and then go on a treasure hunt and play lots of small games. Costs €2,-.
