A combat sports club for the whole family in Brussels

Finding a sports activity that brings the entire family together is not easy. At Davinci Fighting, located at Chaussee de Haecht 1133 in Evere (2 minutes from Bordet Station, Tram 55), families from Evere, Schaerbeek, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Haren and Woluwe-Saint-Pierre train side by side every week. While children attend their junior or baby classes, parents can take adult classes during the same time slots.

Why combat sports are great for families

Combat sports offer unique benefits as a family activity that other sports simply cannot match:

• Shared values: Discipline, respect, perseverance and humility are central to martial arts. These values reinforce parenting at home when the whole family practices them together.
• Quality time: Training together creates shared experiences and memories. Parents and children have something meaningful to discuss and practise together outside of class.
• Mutual motivation: When the whole family is committed, motivation stays high. Children see their parents challenging themselves, and parents see their children developing confidence and discipline.
• Screen-free bonding: In an age of screens and devices, combat sports provide a powerful, physical, face-to-face activity that strengthens family bonds.

Safety and coaching at Davinci Fighting

Safety is the top priority, especially for children. All classes at Davinci Fighting are led by professional coaches with experience training children and beginners. Protective equipment is provided for trial sessions. Techniques are taught progressively, with a strong emphasis on control and respect for training partners.

The gym has trained fighters who went on to compete in the UFC and Glory, but the same coaches who prepare professional fighters also work patiently with three-year-olds in Baby Boxe. This dual expertise — elite competition and family instruction — is what makes Davinci Fighting unique in Brussels.
