WHAT DISTINGUISHES SANDO FROM SELF-DEFENCE IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE OF THE WORD, IS OUR FOCUS ON MARKING BOUNDARIES, BEING ASSERTIVE, COPING WITH EVERYDAY SITUATIONS AND STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF.

THE STORY
OF SANDO
Self-defence school Sando was founded by martial arts athlete Sandra Hoogerdijk Joannes who holds a 3rd dan in karate. Her martial arts experience made her realize that self-defence is more than just defending yourself physically. That is why she decided to create a self-defence course that, in addition to physical training, focuses on self-awareness and prevention.
