Coach
Head Coach
Shaï Gerena.
Member of the Belgian National Jiu-Jitsu team since 2019, multiple-time European champion and IBJJF World vice-champion. Today, Shaï wants to share his experience through a unique pedagogy adapted to each person's rhythm and goals.
The training experience
Building a practice that lasts.
Progression
A structured method. Not just a collection of techniques.
Each cycle has a clear theme. You see where you're going — and why.
Intensity
The right volume, at the right time.
Drilling, positional sparring, controlled rolls. You push yourself without breaking.
Enjoyment
You come to train. You stay for the people.
A team that helps each other, ego-free, from beginners to advanced.
Why people stay
