The short version

• Black belt promoted under Kenta Hammarström, head coach at Prana Jiu-Jitsu in Stockholm.
• 14 years training and competing in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
• 20 years of strength and conditioning — the barbell came first.
• Private coaching across Dubai: at gyms with open mat space, or in your own home.
• I speak five languages, which helps me coach a genuinely international city.

How I got here

I got the spark at 13 — no fancy gym, no YouTube tutorials, just a stubborn need to get stronger. Strength training came first and never stopped. Jiu-jitsu followed, and it reorganised everything I thought I knew about leverage, patience and ego.

Fourteen years later, after thousands of rounds and a black belt under one of Scandinavia’s respected coaches, the lesson is the same one I teach: there are no shortcuts, but there is a much faster path — correct fundamentals, honest feedback, and showing up.

How I coach

Private, one-on-one, and built around your life — not a crowded class where you get lost in the crowd. You learn the fundamentals correctly from day one, at your pace, with someone actually watching and correcting you.

No ego

You don’t need to prove anything to me, and I’ve got nothing to prove to you. We train hard, we train smart, and we keep you healthy enough to still be on the mats in your 40s and 50s.

Real accountability

Weekly check-ins, honest feedback, and a standard you’re held to. This is the part most people skip — and it’s the part that makes the difference.

Who I work with

Mostly busy professional men in Dubai — complete beginners who want to start properly, and experienced grapplers who want to fix specific holes in their game. If you’ve never trained, that’s the best possible starting point: we build it right the first time.
