From a study to our own headquarters in Waddinxveen: Fight2Win’s move is a milestone that followed an entire period of construction. On Sunday, March 29, 2026, we moved to Steur 5. Behind that new address is a story of growth, building and two weeks of hard work.
On March 16, we got the keys to an unfinished space. Two weeks later, we had it ready to use. Meanwhile, the online store kept running from our old location, returns were already arriving in Waddinxveen, and between all the work, we also received a full container of popular Rival and XPRT equipment.
From a study to almost 800 square meters
Fight2Win started in a study in 2005. In 2008, we moved into our own business premises. Those were important milestones in the development of our martial arts store, and Waddinxveen adds a new chapter: a space of almost 800 square meters.
For us, that growth is about more than floor space. It means room for the equipment we work with every day, for the warehouse behind the online store and for a showroom where you can see and compare products for yourself. What starts online with a product photo takes on a new dimension in the store: you can see the details, feel the material and find out how something fits.
Our showroom in Capelle aan den IJssel gave way to the new location at Steur 5. The same Fight2Win, with more room for the next step.
Before there was a store
When you think of moving, boxes and a new address probably come to mind. For us, it began much earlier, when the building had yet to take shape. Photos from those early stages take us back to the first steps: a handshake across the table, a gathering at the construction site and the start of the work.
Where our equipment would later have its place, there were still construction fences, machines and an open site. That’s why those moments belong in this look back, too. They show how much happened before the move itself and make the contrast with the finished store all the more striking.
From construction site to a real building
Steel columns, floor sections, open facades and aerial work platforms: the new building gradually took shape during construction. From the site, you could clearly see the structure coming together. Inside, the proportions of the floors, columns and large window openings became visible.
The construction photos capture different moments from that period. You can look past the steel framework and concrete floors, see the facades and get a sense of the spaces before they became a store and workplace. They look very different from the showroom you’ll see later, but together they tell the story.
March 16: the keys to an unfinished building
On March 16, 2026, we got the keys. The building was unfinished: the structure was there, but it still needed to become a functional space for Fight2Win. From that moment, we had two weeks to get it ready for use.
That marked the start of our own renovation and fit-out. The empty spaces had to become the new home for our store and online store. There was little time between getting the keys and moving day, so we had to work hard to get everything done.
The interior photos from the construction period show where we started: concrete, columns, windows and plenty of empty space. The contrast with the later showroom makes clear just how much the building has changed.
Two weeks of hard work while the online store kept running
What made those two weeks unusual was that the old location remained operational. While we got the new building ready for use, the online store kept running as usual. Renovation work and day-to-day operations went on side by side.
We had also set up returns to go to the new address in advance. Returned orders were already arriving in Waddinxveen while the online store kept running at the old location. That way, we prepared not just the building, but also the returns process for our customers.
And as if renovating and moving weren't enough, a full container of popular equipment from Rival and XPRT arrived in the middle of it all. So, between renovation jobs, we also took delivery of a major restock. Replenishing our range was part of that busy transition period too.
That combination was exactly what made those weeks so remarkable: getting an unfinished building ready for use, keeping the online store running, receiving returns at the new address and taking delivery of a container of new stock. Thanks to that preparation and hard work, we were able to make a smooth transition and continue serving our customers as well as possible.
The move from Capelle to Waddinxveen
Sunday, March 29, 2026 was moving day. From Monday, March 30, we worked from our new location in Waddinxveen. The physical showroom was closed for a few days during the move; online orders continued as usual.
That marked the end of our time in Capelle, and day-to-day work began at Steur 5. The construction site and unfinished building had become our new headquarters.
For customers who visited us in Capelle, that meant a different destination too. We look forward to welcoming you to our new location, with more room to see the equipment up close.
A look inside the showroom
The later showroom photos show the result of the construction and interior setup. White display shelves, gloves in various styles, protective gear, clothing, and accessories give the store its own character. The Rival section and the rest of the equipment make it a place with plenty to compare.
A visit to the showroom is a great way to notice differences that are harder to experience on a screen. How does the inside of a glove feel? How does a fastening work? Which version appeals to you when you see two models side by side? You can take a look at the gear, and we’ll help you choose what’s right for your training.
From an open structure and empty rooms to a store full of martial arts gear: this is where the story of the build meets what you can discover when you visit Fight2Win.
Behind the scenes of the online store
Fight2Win also includes an area you see less of when you visit the store: the warehouse behind the online store. The shelves of packaged gloves and boxes show another side of our new home.
The Showroom and online store are part of the same company. Some customers want to hold products and compare them in person; others choose their equipment online. The new headquarters has space for both sides of Fight2Win.
That makes the warehouse part of this look back, too. The move involved both the store you can visit and the day-to-day work behind your online order.
Visit us at Steur 5
Our address is Steur 5, 2742 ZW Waddinxveen. The location near the A12 and A20 was a factor in our choice. The journey changed for some regular visitors; with Waddinxveen, we deliberately chose a central location.
Want to stop by to try on gloves, compare protective gear, or check out other equipment? You’re very welcome. Check the store address page for current opening hours and visitor information.
A new location, the same Fight2Win
From our start in 2005 and our first building of our own in 2008 to construction, getting the keys on March 16, and the move on March 29, 2026: Waddinxveen is the next step in our story.
What stands out most for us is that remarkable transition period: making an unfinished building ready for use in two weeks while the online store kept running, returns were already arriving at the new address, and a full container of Rival and XPRT products arrived in the middle of it all. It took a lot of hard work, with our customers and the new location as our shared focus.
We’re proud of our headquarters and look forward to welcoming you to Steur 5. Osu, Taekwon, and see you in Waddinxveen!
