The European Budo Centre – Dojo Stara Wieś was designed and built in accordance with the principles of Japanese architecture amid the Polish landscape and is unique on a world scale. It is the world’s largest performance training centre for Far Eastern martial arts and sports. It offers comprehensive training opportunities and a chance to experience the spirit, atmosphere and philosophy of Japanese martial arts also to non-professionals and individual guests. Moreover, ‘Dojo – Stara Wieś’ is an excellent place for conferences or team-building events. Sushi, ikebana or Japanese tea ceremony aimed at familiarising attendees with Japanese culture will be an interesting add to your stay at our Centre.

The beginning.

Six years are over two thousand days. It has taken this long to build Dojo in the midst of meadows and fields of central Poland.

It all started with a dream to establish the Centre so as to spread great human values that Polish and Japanese cultures have shared for hundreds of years.

Integrated into the magnificent landscape of fields and woods, Dojo delivers tranquility and a sense of harmony to its guests. The Japanese design, space and quiet offer the opportunity to recover from the rigors of everyday life, to restore calmness, to gain some distance and to achieve the balance that is essential in life.

Dojo is exactly what the name says – the place where you can begin your own journey.
