    One of the best times ever had was visiting the dojoland with my team all the way from Nigeria, the equipments are world class, trainers are very skillful and respectful, the structure impeccable, the hospitality is 100% great. I will recommend this fight gym house to anyone who truly want to be a world champion. I can’t wait to visit again again. Thank you dojoland

FAQ

Got questions?

Everything you need to know before starting at DojoLand.

From what age can my child start?+

From age 5. Each age group has its own pace and dedicated coaches. Sometimes we make an exception for younger kids, after a trial training.

Which activities do you offer for kids, and how do I choose the right one?+

We offer combat disciplines, Judo, Karate, Taekwondo, and non-combat classes like Parkour/Acrobatics, Wushu Kung Fu, and Dance, all suited for children. Combat sports build discipline, focus, and confidence, Parkour, Wushu, and Dance build coordination, creativity, and physical control. The best way to choose is to try a class at any of our gyms. Boxing, Kickboxing, and MMA are also available, especially if you'd like some contact combat skills.

Is it too late to start as an adult?+

No, many of our adult athletes started with zero experience. Martial arts have real benefits for the body and spirit at any stage of life, strength and mobility on one side, focus and calm on the other. Our classes adapt to every level.

Boxing or Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense, which one?+

Choose Boxing if you want fast fitness results and a way to stop a threat while staying on your feet. Choose Jiu-Jitsu if you want to learn how to control a resisting person without relying on raw strength. But the most important part of self-defense is awareness and confidence, both will teach you not to freeze in a moment of danger.

Can martial arts replace a regular gym?+

Yes, for a lot of our athletes. Training with your own bodyweight, which is most of what a martial arts class relies on, is enough for most people to build real fitness, muscle, and strength, plus the mental discipline a regular gym doesn't offer.

What should I bring to my first class?+

We provide everything you need to start. Afterward, you can buy your kimono, gi, dobok, or other gear from us, or bring your own.

Why train at DojoLand?+

DojoLand is the leading martial arts academy in the region. Students push each other and grow faster training in a group, we train together, we stand together.

What are the membership plans and pricing?+

Three plans, 1 Class, Unlimited, VIP, starting from 8,500 FCFA/month on a 12-month commitment. Full details on the Pricing page.

What is DojoCert and why register?+

DojoLand's official athlete certification, designed to unite athletes and build a database of people who want to grow on their martial arts path. Athletes from any club are welcome, it's there for the community. It gives verified identity, a recognized digital card, and more opportunities for competitions and events, helping build a real martial arts career.

Where are your gyms located?+
