    Suikido is wisdom and life experience combined into a holistic whole. Here, as a student and client, you get access to resources that are far ahead of the times we live in. Tools and approaches to body, mind and spirit, which perhaps will only be widespread in a significantly larger part of the world in 10 years or more .

    Suikido is something completely unique, which over time will simply establish itself even more as what it is - universal tools to get closer to the core of ourselves and the connection to everything. Both Chris and Anette are really loving and present people, and my training and treatments with Chris have given me new insight into myself and the life around me.

    With the warmest recommendations.

  • Heidi Bremer · Body Treatment Therapist · Owner of “Body Psyche Balance”

    After each treatment with Chris, you leave with a stronger body, a relaxed mind and a soul that has received a caring hug. After only two treatments, Chris managed to fix my broken lower back and painful shoulder, which other therapists have been unable to deal with for years.

    He is one-of-a-kind!

  • Mikkel Visby · SKIF Black Belt · Massage Therapist

    What I learned from Chris' teaching was, among other things, adamant martial karate and dynamic yoga with holistic understanding and life-wise considerations about today's life and ways of socializing. The teaching is in a class of its own and the level of detail in the technical execution is second-to-none. You get something unique out of every single lesson with Chris.

    I strongly recommend Suikido Martial Arts to anyone who wants to develop personally and get out of their comfort zone.

  • Maria Bjørn · Holistic Therapist · Owner of “Balance Clinic”

    Chris and Anette, such great individuals with so much knowledge and heart. Rarely if ever have I met such dedicated people. Suikido nutrition, treatment and training is a profoundly intelligent, unique and comprehensive "system".

    Suikido has turned my world upside down several times, but has given my body, my mind, and my whole life a much better balance than it ever had before.

  • Torben Lundgaard · BJJ Black Belt · Owner of ”Favela Gym”

    I have had the pleasure of participating in Suikido. The workshops were based on exploring the natural flow and alignment of the body through different movements, stretches and sequences.

    Chris is inspiring, skilled and creates a fantastic energy. As a long-time BJJ practitioner, I can only recommend his training/seminars/workshops for anyone who wants a supple and injury-free body, also after the age of 30.

  • Tina Marie · JKA Black Belt · Holistic Esthetician · Yoga Teacher · Realtor

    Participating in Suikido Spring Retreat was a very healing experience. Chris & Anette are sincere and true masters of what they do. I felt at home and in the most caring hands as I was guided through a week-long journey of Suikido movement, aromatherapy sauna sessions, herbal consultation, Suikido body balancing and the powerful, authentic sweat lodge ceremony on the full moon day.

    Everything is connected and further supported by the daily plant-based meals, prepared with fresh organic ingredients of the highest quality. I travelled all the way from the US; but I travelled even further within, inspired by all their knowledge. When I returned home, I felt healthy, balanced in my menopause and ready to make some conscious changes in my life.

    I look forward to returning and learning more!

  • Mehrdad Goodarzi · World Champion SKIF Karate · Founder of Stickdo Mind Body System · Physio Therapist

    World-class professionalism, world-class teacher, and therapist.

    Suikido is a delicate form of energy and Chris practice it with the utmost care and respect.

    It is a space in which you feel safe and healed.

  • Marc Onuoha · Expert Martial Artist · Dentist · Owner of Smile by Marc

    Suikido cannot be explained, it must be experienced!

    Suikido is a unique system of flow, balance, strength, and grace in one. Suikido is Chris and Chris is Suikido. A master who expresses his own style in physics, thought and mind.

    30 years of hardcore strength training and martial arts leaves its mark, and the last 5 years have been marked by many injuries, especially in my joints and tendon attachments. In my search for a healthier form of training as well as treatment for my many injuries, I found Suikido. Chris was very quick to read my body and find out where I am locked, sore and limited in my movement. The bespoke course with Chris was a combination of his unique in-depth connective tissue massage, assisted stretching exercises and individually tailored movement sequences, all of which focused on my "weak" points. Very educational and good for my worn and tired body. The tailored flow series/sequences still help to keep my body in balance.

    I recommend Suikido to all people, tall, short, trained, untrained, beginner, elite - everyone will benefit from the system.
