We offer a martial arts seminar in an impressive environment near the Portuguese Atlantic coast.

In addition to the particularly expressive and natural landscape, the center offers various accommodations and an optimal infrastructure for our martial arts seminar. In the immediate vicinity, there are several beaches that are a perfect location for different activities. The center is geared towards ecological values, also in their culinary offerings. They serve high quality and diverse dishes, providing delicious and nutritious vegetarian food.

The seminar follows a holistic concept providing exceptional diverse training. The goal is to combine natural living and martial arts and to benefit from the following practices: Taekwondo, Hapkido, Meditation, Yoga, Qigong, Taichi and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

The retreat follows a holistic concept, providing an exceptionally diverse training.

Every day starts with one hour of meditation and pranayama before breakfast. A morning practice of Vinyasa Yoga follows. Until lunch time, we will practice silence in order to allow the participant to keep the focus inside. At 12, lunch is served. In the afternoon, you are free to rest in Monte Orada, to go to the beach, take surf lessons or go for a hike and discover the beautiful region of Alentejo. In the evening, we meet for a soft practice of Qigong, Taichi or Yoga before sharing dinner together. The teachers are Nuno Damaso and his daughter Nina Damaso (more info here).
