Karate club Budo Kyudokan Magdeburg eV

Are you new to our site? Then let us briefly introduce ourselves and our philosophy:

We are the Budo Kyudokan Magdeburg eV karate club and were founded in July 2022. Traditional Shotokan karate is our greatest passion and our main offering; in addition, we also offer Kenjutsu, Kobudo and Kyokushin karate (full-contact karate).

These traditional Japanese martial arts (Karate, Kenjutsu, Kobudo) belong to the Budo tradition. Budo translates as "the way of the warrior" and is sometimes also referred to as "the spiritual path of martial arts." The primary focus is on practicing life's journey. The specific exercises (techniques) of our martial arts support you on your path through life.

The techniques we learn in martial arts are meant to give you strength and confidence, while our dojo kun – the rules of the training hall – strengthen your mind and soul. The rules of our dojo are the values of character, sincerity, courtesy, diligence, and self-control, which we instill in our students and in you during every training session.

Our philosophy is NOT to cultivate champions or successful competitors, or to make you a perfect person, but to accompany you and our students individually on your and their path through life, to show you ways to be a good person and to strive for harmony of body and mind.
