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

What our people say.

« I was a bit apprehensive before starting. From my very first class, I felt welcomed. The atmosphere is relaxed, and there's always someone ready to explain the techniques in detail. »

« It took me a while to try it out; the people in the photos looked impressive but are actually super welcoming. Three months in, I'm progressing really well. I recommend it for any level. »
