Issum is located near the Dutch border, approx. 50 km northwest of Düsseldorf. It is located directly on the A57 highway and approx. 30 minutes from Düsseldorf Airport and approx. 20 minutes from Düsseldorf-Weeze Airport. The Duisburg train station, which is served by a direct connection from Munich, is also not far away. For those who will be arriving by plane or train, we will try to organize private shuttles - both for arrival and departure as well as for transfers between accommodation and venues.

We have reserved larger room contingents at both the 4-star Hotel Seepark and the JaHotel (by Seepark). The contingent at the Hotel Seepark has priority for the participants of the master course, as the theoretical units will also take place there. There are also a number of guesthouses and vacation apartments in the surrounding area. For those traveling on a smaller budget, we will try to provide bed and breakfast accommodation in the tournament hall.

The Master’s Clinic will take place from October 22 to 23, 2025. The practical part will take place in the tournament gym in Issum, while the theoretical units will be held at the 4-star Hotel Seepark.

The Black Belt Clinic will take place on October 24, 2025 in the tournament gym in Issum.

The Black Belt Dinner takes place in the Lindenstuben restaurant, which has been in existence since 1874. The restaurant is within walking distance of both hotels.

The championship will take place on October 25, 2025 in Issum in the gymnasium at Vogt-von-Belle-Platz. In addition to a sufficiently large competition area, it offers a grandstand, a cafeteria and sufficient parking spaces.

If you are considering combining your trip to the championships with a short or longer vacation, we will be happy to help you with the planning and provide you with tips.
