On bare feet
From September 2025, the VUB opens its brand-new Centre for Martial Arts and Science (CEMAS) — an 800 m² facility dedicated to martial arts. Half of the space is fitted with mats, the other half is designed for boxing. Federations, clubs and individual practitioners can all benefit from this investment by the VUB. Bigger, better and built for everyone who loves martial arts. Keep it safe and comfortable for all. Check our Code of Conduct for Martial Arts.
For combat sport clubs, federations and enthusiasts
At the VUB, you are welcome not only to rent our state-of-the-art martial arts halls or join our activities, but also to benefit from our academic support through CEMAS. Physical, mental, nutritional, social or managerial — our experts are ready to help your organisation grow and take the next step in professionalising your activities. Visit cemas.vub.be for more information.
