Bushikan Brakel Vzw

Bushikan Brakel in Belgium offers a diverse martial arts program including Karate, Modern Jiu-Jitsu, and PSD (Progressive Self-Defense). Karate classes, open from age 13, focus on discipline, fitness, and confidence, making it especially suitable for youth. Modern Jiu-Jitsu adapts traditional samurai techniques to today’s context, teaching strikes, balance disruption, and immobilization in a practical, modern way. PSD, created by Jean Claude Soenen, synthesizes principles from multiple styles (Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Krav Maga, Wing Tsun, BJJ, and more), emphasizing concepts over single techniques. Accessible from age 14, PSD uses a level-based system to build adaptability and resilience. Bushikan Brakel also runs BushiKids, introducing children to martial arts in a fun, developmental format.
