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 grappling and wrestling?
Wrestling is mainly about taking the opponent down and controlling them. No-gi grappling adds the full ground game of Brazilian jiu-jitsu: guards, passing, joint locks and chokes. We work on both dimensions in the same class.
Is no-gi the same thing as Brazilian jiu-jitsu?
It is the same discipline without the kimono: rashguard and shorts. The principles are identical, but the pace is faster and control comes from the body rather than the fabric.
What should I wear for a no-gi class in Wavre?
A rashguard or a close-fitting t-shirt and shorts without pockets or zips. We lend you a rashguard for the trial class if you do not have one.
Are leg locks dangerous?
Not when they are taught in the right order. You first learn to recognise the position and tap early, then to apply the submission. Aggressive entries only come once the safety reflexes are there.
Is grappling a good base for MMA?
Yes: wrestling, ground control and no-gi submissions are the grappling half of MMA. Several of our members come looking for exactly that base.
