BJJ Gyms in Belgium

BGJ Jiu-Jitsu Bruxelles

BGJ Jiu-Jitsu Bruxelles (Brothers Gym Jiu-Jitsu) is a welcoming Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy located in Drogenbos, Brussels, offering comprehensive training in BJJ (gi), No-Gi grappling, and MMA. The academy's philosophy is centered around the transformative power of martial arts, viewing Jiu-Jitsu as "much more than a sport - a path of transformation." The gym provides programs for all ages and skill levels, from children as young as 3 years old to adults of any age or fitness level. Their approach emphasizes that it's never too late to start, and students don't need to be in shape to begin - the training helps get them there. The academy prides itself on offering personalized guidance, respect, and high-level technical instruction in a supportive environment where each student can follow their own path. Head instructor Fernando Bernardes brings 15 years of experience as both a Jiu-Jitsu teacher and competitor. As a black belt and multiple-time champion in gi competitions, Fernando also has personal experience with ADHD and is the father of two children who practice Jiu-Jitsu as part of their ADHD treatment. His mission is to guide children and adults to become better people through developing discipline, confidence, and concentration. For MMA and grappling programs, the academy features instruction from Marc Vlieger (retired MMA and K1 fighter) and Othy D. (active MMA fighter). The facility features a fully padded training area with antibacterial mats that are cleaned before and after each session, ensuring a safe, clean environment focused on performance and health.

Led by the Houry family (contact: Khalid Houry and Khadija Houry), Cens Academy provides training at Centre Omnisport Maritime with programs tailored to different age groups. Their mission is to inspire a confident, perseverant, and respectful generation ready to make a difference in their lives and communities through martial arts training in a family-friendly atmosphere.

BJJ Gent

Open Culture Everyone is welcome in our club regardless of race, gender or age. Nowadays, people tend to draw more and more lines between each other, whether they be based on ethnic background, religion, ideology or any other categorization. Our goal is to promote a mentality that fosters social coherence and a sense of community, where we encourage and applaud each other’s progress. Sportsmanship Martial arts involves both physical and mental training. Teaching good sportsmanship forms one of the cornerstones of our club, embracing values such as respect, fair play, self-control, responsibility and integrity. These core principles form a reflection of personal maturity which directly benefit how we carry ourselves in everyday life. Respect the nine We believe that putting theory into practice enables a deeper understanding in the technical complexity of this sport. Admittedly, we too knew times when far more time was spent on teaching rather than sparring. These times came to an end with a statement of rebellion. Statement became quote. Quote became rule. And when the clock hits the ‘9’, we start sparring. Training sessions are balanced, as all things should be.
