New Promo: Sven van Holt – Fighting
Sven van Holt returns with his new single “Fighting”, inspired by Ninjutsu training in the 1990s.
The German EDM artist weaves memories of martial arts and the five fundamental elements of the Bujinkan Dojo (a Japanese martial art with a history stretching back over 1,000 years) into a powerful big-room club track, due for release on 13 November 2026.
A big-room-oriented club track. Rooted in his personal history and shaped by his long-standing connection to the club scenes of Ibiza, England, Germany and the US, ‘Fighting’ presents itself as a focused, impactful track for fans of EDM and big room.
‘Fighting’ has it’s roots in Sven van Holt’s history of Ninjutsu training in Germany in the 1990s. The track is inspired by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, the last living grandmaster from Japan, who unites all nine traditional martial arts schools within himself, as well as the five Japanese fundamental elements of the Godai: Chi, Sui, Ka, Fu and Ku; these ideas of movement, discipline and energy have been incorporated into a club format.
At the same time, the track is a direct tribute to his former masters Oliver Pabst and grandmaster Armin Dörfler. A special mention goes to Marcin-Jan Franke from the taekwondo section, the founder of the Bernburg Martial Arts Centre, who provided the training facilities back then.
