TON COACH · SUR LE TATAMI
Tu seras entre les mains de Shaï.
« Le tatami ne ment pas. Il révèle. »
Shaï commence le BJJ adolescent. Très vite, la compétition devient un terrain d'expression : circuit européen, sélections nationales, podiums internationaux. En 2024, il fonde NewArt à Wavre avec une idée simple : une académie exigeante et structurée, où chacun progresse à son rythme, du premier cours au podium.

PRATIQUE
Ce qu'il te faut.
01
Sportswear
A t-shirt and shorts or leggings, no pockets or zips. A gi or rashguard is lent to you for the trial class.
02
Arrive 10 minutes early
Enough time to change calmly and meet the coach before the class starts.
03
Slides or flip-flops
Essential: you walk in slides between the changing room and the mat, then train barefoot. That is what keeps the mat clean for everyone. Short nails, no jewellery.
04
Water
A water bottle and a towel. We take care of the rest.
QUESTIONS FRÉQUENTES
Tu te poses sûrement ces questions.
What is the difference between gi (kimono) BJJ and no-gi?
In the gi, fabric grips open a slower, more technical game: collar and sleeve controls, specific chokes. In no-gi there is nothing to grip, so everything moves faster and relies on body control. Both are taught at NewArt Wavre and complement each other.
How do belts work in Brazilian jiu-jitsu?
For adults: white, blue, purple, brown, black, with stripes in between. Progress is measured in years of consistent training rather than exams: the coach looks at attendance, understanding and attitude on the mat.
How often should I train to progress?
Two sessions a week are enough to progress clearly in the first year. Three or more speeds things up. The weekly gi slots are listed above on this page.
Do I need to buy a gi before coming?
No. A gi is lent for the trial class. You only buy one if you decide to continue, and we advise you on size and cut.
Can I start gi BJJ with no experience at all?
Yes. The Saturday morning slot is aimed at beginners, and in the other classes groups are formed by experience so everyone works at the right level.
