Martial Arts is for everyone

KUSHIDO Pinelands offers Karate classes to youngsters from 8 up and Tai Chi classes to young adults up to senior citizens. Choose between the gentle, serene movements of Tai Chi, or the vigorous exercise of Karate.

Sifu Rijk’s teachings are always well thought out communications of his deep understanding of martial arts. His classes are both fun and therapeutic, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for better understanding of their bodies and a calmer mental space. Much of tai chi’s philosophy can be applied to everyday living, and I have certainly learnt some valuable life lessons in Rijk’s class.

Rijk de Jamaer has been my Sifu for nearly six years. He makes Tai Chi classes both informative and fun. His patience is as endless as is his knowledge of this discipline. His ability to teach a class of multi-level students simultaneously was most impressive. Rijk will guide you with gentle humour whilst encouraging you to apply yourself earnestly.
