Dear SMART Community,
As we step into 2025, it’s a great time to reflect on the amazing progress we’ve made in 2024. Many of our students have levelled up, and exciting new training opportunities are on the horizon. Let’s take a look at what’s ahead and how we can continue to grow together in the new year!
A Successful End to 2024 – Level Test in Brussels
On December 14th, we held a Level Test in Brussels, with 23 students testing for P1, P2, and P4 levels. It was an inspiring display of resilience and growth, particularly from those who joined us in September. Despite a shorter preparation period, they stepped up, embraced the challenge, and succeeded. This is what the level test is truly about: trusting your skills under pressure and rising to the occasion. A special shout-out to our 14 members from Brussels—your commitment and consistency proves that steady effort leads to results, no matter where you start. We also want to thank those who came to cheer for the group. This is what our community is all about—supporting each other every step of the way and celebrating successes together.

Trial Classes – Chance to Join the SMART Tribe!
Starting in January, we are offering trial classes for anyone interested in joining our community and starting their Krav Maga journey. These classes are designed to give you a taste of what we do and how we empower individuals to take control of their safety and well-being. The trial classes will be held on:
- January 14
- January 16
- January 21
- January 23
Bring a friend or family member to introduce them to our community or spread the news to your network. Let’s grow in numbers and welcome more people into our SMART Tribe!
Celebrating the Next Generation of Instructors!
We’re excited to announce that Julia, Lia, and Tudor will be joining the upcoming Self-Defense Trainer (SDT) course this February. These candidates have been selected for their skills and potential, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see them take their first steps toward becoming instructors.
To ensure they’re fully prepared, they will go through exclusive training in January, focusing on the SDT curriculum. These sessions will refine their knowledge and techniques, providing them with the support and mentorship they need to succeed and become the next generation of Brussels instructors.
If you believe you have what it takes to become a Krav Maga instructor, we’d love to chat with you! This is a unique opportunity to deepen your expertise and make a lasting impact on others through self-defence training.
