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.

QUESTIONS FRÉQUENTES
Les questions des parents.
At what age can my child start jiu-jitsu?
From age 6. Groups are set by age and level: Kids 6-12 and Teens 13-16, with separate weekday slots and a Saturday morning class.
Isn't jiu-jitsu too violent for a child?
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is practised on the ground, with no striking at all. Children learn to fall, to control and to get back up, in a supervised setting where respect for the partner comes first.
My child is shy. Will they fit in?
That is often the profile that progresses best: the mat sets a clear frame, the rules are the same for everyone, and the coach makes sure every child has a partner from the first session.
Do we need to buy a gi straight away?
No. A gi is lent for the trial class. You only look at equipment later, if your child takes to it.
Can I stay and watch the class?
Yes, parents are welcome to watch from the edge of the mat, especially for the first session.
Does jiu-jitsu help against bullying at school?
Mostly it builds composure: a child who can fall, escape and stay calm under physical contact is far harder to intimidate. We train avoidance and control, never aggression.

At the end of the camp, each child leaves with new martial arts foundations, greater confidence—and a true, lived linguistic immersion experience.
