Dear SMART Community,
With a month behind us, since the new season began in September, there’s so much to look forward to! With new members, upcoming events, and exciting challenges ahead, it’s time to dive into a strong finish for the year. Let’s make the most of it—together!
Welcome to the SMART Tribe!
After a busy summer program in July and August, plus two weeks of trial sessions in September, we’re thrilled to announce that our SMART tribe has grown!
We’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new members and a special shout-out to the one who returned after 4 long years (we must be doing something right, right?!). It’s been amazing to see so many new faces in the class. At SMART Krav Maga Brussels, we’re more than just a training space—we’re a community of driven individuals, united by the pursuit of personal strength, resilience, and growth. Welcome to the SMART tribe, and let your journey begin!
Level Test on November 16th – Are You Ready?
Every training has a goal that helps us push through when things get tough. As the new season kicks off, we’ve set the date for our final Level Test of the year—November 16th.
This rite of passage is your opportunity to showcase what you’ve learned, test your proficiency, and push the limits of your endurance. Don’t worry, in the coming weeks, our experienced SMART instructors will guide you every step of the way. We’ll focus on targeted training from the P1 and P2 curriculum, polishing techniques, sharpening tactics, and drilling to ensure you’re ready. Stay determined, keep the curriculum close, and eyes on the prize!

At SMART Krav Maga Brussels, we believe in collaboration to provide our community with the best opportunities for training and personal growth. We’re excited to announce the upcoming 16-hour basic course by IMPACT Personal Safety. After all, two of our instructors, Judyta and Maurits, are part of the IMPACT Personal Safety Belgium team. Even though they won’t be actively teaching in this course, we highly recommend it and believe it’s a must!
Taking place over four consecutive Saturdays—November 23, 30, December 7, and 14—this course at Centre Sportif Tabora in Namur will help you build self-confidence, set boundaries, and live with a greater sense of freedom and safety.

IMPACT’s hands-on approach enhances both verbal and physical self-defence techniques, building skills you can count on for life.
This course isn’t just about physical training—it focuses on increasing awareness, healing from past trauma, and fostering resilience. From everyday boundary setting to managing an actual assault, the skills learned here will empower you to handle any situation.
