SeiDoRyu Karate Baden

About SeiDoRyu Karate Baden

SeiDoRyu is a karate club in Baden that teaches traditional Shotokan karate as a martial art and combines it with insights from medicine and sport. Training takes place in the events hall at the Sportcenter Baden at Waltersdorfer Straße 40, and you can join once you have reached the age of 10.

What happens in training

The club calls itself the "Schule des westlichen Weges" (school of the western way). The basis is Shotokan karate, and according to the website there are also influences from aikido, jiu-jitsu, judo and kempo. Training rests on three pillars:

• Kihon: the basics, with the fundamental techniques
• Kata: the form, a stylised fight against imaginary opponents
• Kumite: fighting against one or more partners in a safe environment

Beginners' training focuses on the basic techniques, dojo etiquette and discipline. Training is led by KoDo Österreicher and GenDo Kolbe.

When training takes place

• Wednesday and Friday, 18:00–19:00: beginners
• Wednesday and Friday, 19:00–20:00: from 9th kyu (white belt)
• Wednesday and Friday, 20:00–21:00: from 4th kyu
• Saturday, 16:00–18:00: free training

Training takes place all year round, except on school holidays that are public holidays. During the school holidays there is only one joint session on Wednesday and Friday from 19:00 to 20:15. There is also fight training on Mondays from 19:30 to 21:00 in the small gym of the BG Biondekgasse (Biondekgasse 6) – you can only attend this at the coaches' invitation.

How to get started

The first session is free and without obligation, ideally at the start of the semester. Come about ten minutes early so that you can get to know each other briefly; light sportswear is enough. You arrange the trial session by e-mail or phone.

The autumn 2026 beginners' course started on 23 September 2026, and joining was possible by arrangement until 9 October. It lasts three months with 26 training sessions and costs 99 euros. Courses always start at the beginning of the semester – when the next one begins is on seidoryu.at.
