Reighikan Dojo

Founded in 1992, the Reighikan Dojo is located in Lausanne, at 10 Rue de l'Industrie. It comprises a school of judo, jujitsu, and Japanese weapons, led by Bernard Wirz: Bodaïshinkan Ryu. It also has an aikido school, led by Christine Venard: Yoshin ryu.
Located near the center of Lausanne, in the courtyard of the beautiful architectural complex of the Anciens Magasins de la Ville, the Reighikan Dojo welcomes practitioners of all ages and motivations. Every day, teachers and students come together in a warm atmosphere and a unique aesthetic setting to practice martial arts, educational, and cultural activities. Our teachers, instructors, and their assistants are all committed to sharing their extensive experience in martial arts, both technically and philosophically.
We invite you to consult our summary, which will provide you with information about our school and the various martial arts disciplines that we offer with expertise and enthusiasm.

Visitors, as well as practitioners, will certainly be struck by the beauty of the Dojo in which our various martial arts practices take place.

The renovation of this space focused particularly on aesthetics. The style is Japanese, and for good reason. Since we are talking about the practice of Budo, it was important that practitioners be able to experience the appeal and joy of a leap in time and space, a leap that amounts to a physical and mental change of scenery that is, as we can easily understand, conducive to the process of learning Japanese martial arts.

When it came to restoring this very old building in Lausanne, dating from the late 19th century, which was entrusted to our care, one goal was clear from the outset: to do everything possible to create a Japanese enclave in the heart of our city.
