Biography

Fascinated by martial arts from a very young age, he trained on his own until 2013, when he discovered a remarkable weapons-based martial discipline: the Filipino Martial Arts. Since then, he dedicated himself to this practice while also exploring and regularly training in other martial arts such as Kalaripayattu, Jeet Kune Do, and Choy Lee Fut.

Driven by his passion, he began teaching in 2015 and became a representative in France of the FCS Kali system founded by Tuhon Ray Dionaldo.

Having long been captivated by and interested in Pencak Silat, particularly about the Alvin's Silat Buka Lingkaran expression, he was delighted to become involved with the system in 2021 and had the honor of becoming one of its instructors in France.

What attracts him most to SBL in his own words "is that it brings together, within a single system, all the aspects I have had previously encountered separately throughout my martial arts journey: weapons, striking, ground fighting, locks and manipulation, multiple attackers, mobility and conditioning, as well as internal training".

He founded his own school in 2020, where he dedicates himself to the promotion and primarily teaching of SBL and FMA.
