After been accepted as an official style within the Flemish Ju-Jitsu Federation (VJJF) just a few months ago, Seishinkai Ju-Jitsu was invited to be present for the first time at a Multi Style Seminar VJJF.
The Seminar was held at the “Provinciaal Vormingscentrum” in Malle, Belgium.
More than 120 children en over 60 adults were taught the ins-and-outs of our Seishinkai System.
Many students and Sensei were pleasantly suprised by the completeness of Seishinkai Ju-Jitsu.
Not only techniques-flows were demonstrated but also the reasons and bio-mechanics behind the different Ju-Jitsu techniques.
Afterwards, many participants complimented Tony van Venrooy Shihan and David van der Schoepen Sensei for their teachings and even wanted to know more ……

Today we received great news from our Belgium friends.
The Flemmish Ju-Jitsu Federation has approved our application for Seishinkai Ju-Jitsu to be an official style within their organization.
Two years of hard work from the VJJF Technical Director and his Staff, our SJJI Associated Director, the VJJF Central Board, the SJJI Technical Board and many more, has resulted that the Seishinkai Ju-Jitsu requirements and our way of teaching were approved and recognized.
In the proces of this approval several Seminars were also given in Belgium.
Seminars where several high-ranking SJJI teachers and members were also present and where the Flemmish Ju-Jitsu Federation Technical Board could experience the strength of the SJJI syllabus and our way of teaching, studying and enjoying the beautifull Art of Ju-Jitsu.
We are realy greatfull toward the VJJF and see this as a milestone for our organization, but above all we see this recognition a that our “Kizuna” can do great things in making our Seishinkai Ju-Jitsu System grow bigger and bigger.
On Saturday 14-09-2019 a great Technical Seminar was held by SJJI in Waalwijk, the Netherlands.
A enthusiastic group of Ju-Jitsuka’s from the Netherlands and Belgium participated in this 3 hour technical seminar with great joy.
The first block of two themes were given by Remko Dijkman Sensei (5th Dan SJJI);
Theme #2 : Hodoki-waza ( Liberation techniques )
Theme #4 : Nage-waza ( Throwing techniques )
Remko Sensei showed the ins and outs of the possibilities you have from various positions where you have been grabbed ( hold down ). This was combined with throws and sacrifice throws from a position where you were grabbed.
It was very nice to see/learn/experience how many possibilities there are from one situation.
The second part of the seminar was given by Tony van Venrooy Shihan (8th Dan SJJI);
Theme #7 : Renraku-waza ( indirect combinations )
Theme #8 ; Kaeshi-waza ( Take overs )
Tony Sensei started with the take overs and taught us about right moment to take over a technique.
To do this at the right moment you have to know the ins and outs of a technique.
If you know the technique you’re “opponent” is trying/going to use and you recognize it you can feel the right moment to take it over.
This was a very technical part of the seminar and opened many minds on how to train techniques in a more efficient way. After this part we continued with indirect combinations which are very related to take overs and vice versa. The first part of this block, take overs, helped very much in making your indirect combinations in the right way / time and most efficiently.
Keep checking out our website and also our Facebook page for the next technical seminar.
So you can be a part of this great experience.
