Welcome to those who wish to learn one or more fields of martial arts that I teach and share with heart, passion, patience and determination.
It certainly takes time to learn a martial art but by regularly practicing directly with an experienced teacher your progress will be faster and more solid and therefore more sustainable.
I adapt to each student and each specific request, for me, there is no secret, and I will be proud that one of my students understands in a course what I sometimes took years to understand .
Your personal efforts will also be the key to your progress!
My pedagogy is progressive and covers different aspects of the art: taos (forms), displacements, the work of reaction, the work of the strikes and specific blockings, the study of the keys, the study of the combinations, the coordinations , the fundamentals of each style, kicks, projections, ground work, energetic and internal martial arts).

Accustomed to teaching in very different contexts (University, companies, associations, individuals), I adapt my teaching to the specific profile of the learner, taking into account their wishes (type of practice) and objectives (performance, health, etc.), their physical characteristics and abilities (height, weight) and their state of health (age, functional limitations), and finally, their motivation (workload they are ready to assume in class and in personal work).
As a rigorous and dedicated teacher, I believe that if a student isn't progressing sufficiently, it's because the teaching approach isn't suitable. Therefore, it's essential to create a learning environment that is serious, inspiring, engaging, and so on, depending on the needs of each student. The diverse environments and student populations I've taught have taught me this. And then there's the matter of providing resources as needed: whether it's theoretical texts or customized educational videos, the modern world offers us an endless array of tools!

For beginners, it's essential to start by establishing a technical foundation and preparing the body for the physical demands of the sport (classic strength, speed, and flexibility training, along with cardio to support it all!). For this initial level, I draw on both Muay Thai, my original training, and Kung Fu, which serves this purpose very well. The introduction to striking combat initially focuses on maximizing distance (reach); we'll gradually close the distance as reaction time and the psychological readiness required for combat develop.

For intermediate and advanced levels, I prefer to focus on the "natural style" (see video). This is what will allow you to break through the glass ceiling. It's demanding, certainly, but you'll gain considerable speed (through fluidity) and impact (through the optimal use of kinetic energy and external forces); you'll also be calmer and more composed in combat; your strategy will evolve, you'll become a counter-puncher, a sniper. Everything will progress, but you'll have to do a large part of the work on your own, my role being limited to guiding your practice by introducing you to the exercises and acting as your sparring partner, to identify the next areas for improvement.

All of this seems very cold and serious, and it is, because combat transforms you profoundly. However, nothing prevents you from enjoying it: I also promise you joy, good humor, and lightheartedness, because that's in my nature.
