Jorge Penagos: 'As a martial artist, you are ready to take on any challenge at any time'

Six years ago, Jorge Penagos moved to Brussels with his Polish wife. He has been practising martial arts since he was eight years old, and has a black belt in both ninjutsu and aikido. He also has a bachelor's degree in pedagogy and a master's degree in nutrition and health. Now he runs his own gym in Schaerbeek. "I want to encourage people to lead a healthier lifestyle, to try sports, and to maybe explore martial arts. Because that way you not only get fitter and stronger, but you also become a better person."
