Different paths. Shared practice.
SMALL-GROUP MARTIAL PRACTICE IN ENGLISH
Serious martial arts in Leipzig without macho culture or a toughness test. Mentored practice in MMA and sword technique with room for questions, choice and individual progress.
INSIDE THE PRACTICE
Learn how a technique works, practise it with a partner and choose how much pressure to add.
Break the movement down, practise each part and build a reliable foundation.
Explore when it works, which problem it solves and where its limits are.
Adjust distance, timing and resistance in a structured setting.
Add resistance gradually, or try sparring if you choose. Contact is agreed, and you can pause or stop at any time.
CHOOSE YOUR PRACTICE
The first Leipzig groups are forming. Choose MMA, sword technique or both and join the Founding Circle.
Mixed disciplines. One coherent practice.
Train striking, clinch, takedowns and ground fighting as one connected practice through technique, partner drills and optional sparring.
Different traditions. One complete circle.
A training approach developed by Yaron, drawing inspiration from Kendo, Korean Hapkido and Olympic fencing to study movement, structure and timing.
BOTH PATHS
Train in MMA and sword technique every week as two connected but distinct practices.
BEFORE YOU TRAIN
Dates and the venue in Leipzig are being confirmed. We’ll share the practical details with you before your first session.
No previous experience or particular fitness level is needed. Pace, intensity and exercises can be adjusted as you build fitness through training. Wear comfortable sports clothes and do not buy equipment in advance; we’ll tell you what to bring before your first session.
You and your partner agree on the level of contact, and you can change it at any time. The intro session has no sparring.
You can study martial arts without wanting to hurt anyone. The group welcomes people who want to learn with care and curiosity, without pressure to act differently.
No. Membership runs month to month, with no long-term commitment. You can cancel at the end of any paid month. Full payment and cancellation terms are provided before you join.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Martial arts instructor · democratic educator · mentor
Yaron is a certified martial arts instructor through the Wingate Institute. His training background includes Capoeira, Taekwondo, Aikido, Olympic fencing, striking and grappling. He continues to study Iaido as part of his personal practice.
His work in democratic education shapes the teaching: questions and dialogue are welcome, while he remains responsible for structure and safety.
THE RONIN APPROACH
Ronin Circle is serious practice without obedience, status or a fixed path. Guidance remains clear, but understanding matters more than imitation.
We learn from traditions without being bound by belts, rituals or inherited answers. Every technique may be examined and questioned.
The aim is not competition or status. We train to learn, understand and help one another improve.
All are welcome regardless of gender, culture, language, nationality or ability. Consent and mutual respect shape the training.
It gives Leipzig’s international community a shared training language. Perfect English is not required.
INTRO SESSION REQUEST
Choose MMA, sword technique or both and send your details. The session is €25 for 90 minutes; if you join, the fee is deducted from your first month. We’ll get back to you to arrange it.
