Heavyweight fighters from 10 countries take on the challenge in Varna, Bulgaria


This week marks the start of the second dedicated SENSHI Invitational Training Camp, which this time brings together elite fighters from the middleweight and heavyweight divisions — over 85 kg. From November 12 to 15, 2025, at SENSHI Gym in Varna, three of the biggest names in global combat sports — Hoost, Schilt, and Soukup — will train 20 carefully selected professional fighters from 10 countries in an intensive preparation program.
Dutch kickboxing legends Ernesto Hoost and Semmy Schilt, together with Czech fighting master Jan Soukup, will be the lead instructors of the camp. The program will feature eight training sessions over four days, including sparring rounds focused on developing power, technique, and strategic thinking. Participation in the camp is reserved exclusively for fighters with personal invitations who have proven themselves in the SENSHI ring and new talents ready to win over the audience.
The elite group includes well-known names such as Eduard Aleksanyan, Karim Mabrouk, and Sem van der Lans, who are incorporating the camp into their preparation for SENSHI 29.
At the end of 2025, the organization is also preparing the final edition of the International SENSHI Martial Arts Training Camp. From December 4 to 7 in Varna, hundreds of fighters from around the world are expected to gather in Bulgaria to learn from world-renowned instructors and combat legends.
The highlight for SENSHI fans will come on December 6 at 7:00 p.m. at the Palace of Culture and Sports in Varna, where the spectacular SENSHI 29 gala night will take place, featuring 11 thrilling fights and a guaranteed dose of adrenaline.
