Welcome to RISE
We believe in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It's a combat sport that develops real life benefits. Thorough understanding of technique comes first. As we practise grappling with live drilling and competitive sparring, we get better, faster, smarter and fitter.
RISE is a jiu-jitsu team led by black belt Philip Candries and is has 2 locations. Both are just south of Brussels, with one at a stone's throw from the Waterloo battlefield in Braine l'Alleud, Brabant and the other one in Halle, Vlaams-Brabant. The instructors speak multiple languages and the dojos can be easily reached from places as Brussels, Halle, Beersel, Sint-Genesius-Rode, Hoeilaart, Nivelles, Genappes, Lasne, ...etc.
RISE is affiliated with BRASA Team under Belgium's own BJJ legend Wim Deputter.
Do you want to learn a modern combat sport, simply for fun, for personal growth, for self defence, or is your ambition to become a seasoned competitor? Whatever goal you set for yourself, it's important to find the right setting and guidance to help accomplish your objectives.
We aim to get the best out of our students, no matter what they strive for. We want our team to be the go-to place for the highest quality jiu-jitsu and grappling classes in the Brussels south area. We strive to create a safe training environment that facilitates progress, forges lifetime friendships and stimulates self development, both on and off the mats.
Progress comes through hard work and dedication. However, the key is to maximise the results for a given effort.
A fight is complex system. If you break down something complex into its components, and therefore mapping the chaos, it becomes much simpler to understand. Ultimately this knowledge has to come together and we can confidently face the unknown. It is in the face of this challenge that we truly grow. By learning from our mistakes, and getting back up.
Our instructors have years of teaching experience and have learned that technique and smart training methods are the key to success. We take pride in keeping an open mind towards new developments in the sport. Nothing is set in stone. This same open mind goes for working with people. Everybody is different and one approach might not be the best for everyone.
