Daisho is an adventure that began 5 years ago! We’ve come a long way since the birth of this wonderful project. The idea began with a simple wish for Vincent Verdoot<\/strong>: to share his passion for martial arts<\/strong>. Mission accomplished! Every day, hundreds and hundreds of combat sports<\/strong> enthusiasts visit our website. The objective? Go in search of the equipment that will make the difference in your practice. So, thank you! Thank you to all our customers and partners, without whom this evolution would have been impossible. <\/p>\n\n

Ready to immerse yourself in the fascinating story of a Budo<\/em> lover? Let us tell you my story, or rather, our story… <\/p>\n\n

“A journey of a thousand miles always begins with a first step.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lao Tzu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

“When I grow up, I want to look like Bruce LEE.”<\/h2>\n\n

It’s 8pm. Hop! Just enough time for Vincent to slip the videocassette of “La Fureur du dragon” (1972) into the video player and watch Bruce LEE<\/strong> ‘s prowess before going to sleep. He’s seen this film dozens of times. But he can’t get enough of these exceptional fight scenes. That’s where his interest in martial arts began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vincent’s martial path really began with Aikido<\/strong><\/a>, an art he discovered while on vacation at his grandfather’s when he was 10. Some time later, he really tried his hand at Aikido, which he practiced for several years, and also tried his hand at Yoseikan Budo<\/g>. But his heart finally led him to karate, an art where he found balance and stability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although he had always wanted to practice this discipline since childhood, Vincent started karate<\/strong> at the age of 27. When he was a child, karate didn’t get much press, and his parents were worried about him becoming a “little brawler”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

“Vince, we’d need to change the carpets in the d\u014dj\u014d, could you take care of that?”<\/h2>\n\n

Now an adult and Senpai<\/em>, Vincent Verdoot is a member of the Carni\u00e8res Karate Club. He helps beginner students (Kohai). At the same time, he works in the purchasing departments of major international industrial groups. <\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

One day, his sensei Thierry Coupin<\/strong> asked him to contact shopkeepers toset up new tatamis<\/a>. That’s it! And what if he combined his passion for the martial arts with his entrepreneurial vision? The Club de Carni\u00e8res tatamis manufacturer asked him to become its distributor in Belgium. Thus was born the Daisho online store<\/a>, scheduled to go live at the end of November 2019. <\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

The arrival of Covid won’t stop this project! Rather, it was an opportunity to perfect the site’s marketing. One thing led to another, and e-commerce was built around equipment and products manufactured by well-known brands. <\/p>\n\n

“How would you like to be the official distributor of the Adidas Sports brand?”<\/h2>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Tokaido, Hayate, Tozando<\/strong>… The online store is supported by several players in the field. In 2021, Daisho even became the first and only official Belgian distributor of the Adidas Combat Sports <\/strong>brand for Karate. The 3-stripes brand subsequently entrusted Daisho with the sale of equipment dedicated to other disciplines such as judo, boxing and MMA<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The Daisho e-commerce site caters for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners. You’ll find a wide range of products: <\/p>\n\n
