Come and spar
Untill august 2025 : current room of +/-40 m² is equipped with tatami combat sports mats, mirrors and several punching bags. The small size of the room makes it particularly suitable for smaller groups. Four to six persons is ideal, up to ten is also fine. However, for groups of more than ten persons, it can get a little crowded and sweaty.
All combat sports for which a tatami is required can be practised here. Bare feet feel right at home in this hall. If you practice a combat sport which requires footwear, opt for footwear specifically intended for use in a combat sports hall. In the past, some users also used this sports hall for dance, pilates and yoga. For dance, mirrors are provided. The tatami can be put aside to allow the space to dance on the laminate floor.
