These camps will be a key element of SENSHI’s philosophy for targeted fighter development, long-term athletic conditioning, selection and preparation of future champions, maintaining a consistent competitive rhythm, and sustaining a high performance level throughout the year.

World-renowned combat sports legends such as Semmy Schilt, Ernesto Hoost, Albert Kraus, Andy Souwer, Jan Soukup, and other famous fighting masters will share their invaluable experience as instructors for young fighters in March, April, June, August, October, and November 2026.
