Head instructor
Franck Royer
Martial artist for more than 25 years, I am a dedicated teacher and student. I aim to pass on to my students what Japanese Jiu-Jitsu has given me: self-confidence, fitness and self-defence skills. It has been my passion since I started as a teenager, a passion I have conveyed as an instructor for the past 13 years. Over the years, I have trained many martial arts, with a more recent focus on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
