# Jōdō Groningen - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `jodo-groningen.nl` ## Description Jōdō Groningen is a volunteer association for people interested in Shintō Musō-ryū, a traditional Japanese martial art practiced in small groups around the world. The school dates back to the early seventeenth century and centers on jōdō, or “the way of the staff”: practitioners use a 128-centimeter wooden staff in paired forms against a wooden-sword partner. Training develops technique alongside awareness, composure, timing and self-control. The school’s values include compassion, duty, courtesy, wisdom and sincerity, qualities members are encouraged to carry into daily life. The association offers weekly classes on Monday evenings in Groningen and a monthly Saturday training session, with instruction led by an official Fédération européenne de Jōdō teacher and two assistants. Beginners are welcome to visit or try a class, and the club provides training weapons for newcomers. Practice takes place barefoot indoors, using a staff and wooden sword; advanced students also work with other traditional weapons. Jōdō Groningen participates in seminars and shared training events, connecting members with related groups in the Netherlands and across Europe. ## Industries - 🏈 Sports - 🏈 Martial Arts _(under Sports)_ ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG, SVG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idZmI-eqUI/w/820/h/717/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1792846509822) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Hippie Blue | #4a9f94 | accent | | Blumine | #1a5a75 | dark | | Cararra | #f5f5f1 | light | ## Fonts - var(--serif) — asset _(custom)_ - var(--sans-serif) — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
