Amsterdam's dedicated takedown academy. We train no-gi judo and wrestling — combining throws, entries and ground control into a complete system for fighters who get on top, apply pressure, and finish.
Wrestling & no-gi judo style takedowns adapted for MMA and BJJ competition.
BJJ and catch wrestling style ground control, pins, and submissions.
Intense warm-up followed by 60+ minutes of modified catch wrestling rules sparring.
The perfect starting point — more focus on basics with less sparring intensity.
Invitation only — for high-level competitors who have proven themselves on the mat. No drop-in, no free trials. Show up to regular classes first.
Not an actual airline — a playful homage to the high altitude throws practiced in our classes. Amsterdam Airlines provides top-tier takedown instruction suitable for MMA, BJJ and self-defense scenarios.
Born from the observation that many teams in Amsterdam lack dedicated takedown training. We fuse no-gi judo techniques with wrestling entries and BJJ control — a unique and proven competitive style. The pioneering academy in the Netherlands specialising in no-gi judo.
“My passion for sports started at the age of five when I started judo. More than 20 years later, this passion has branched out to other martial arts, weightlifting and sports science. I strive to guide combat athletes towards peak performance in the ring, octagon and on the mat.”
We aim to develop a style that takes the best out of multiple martial arts — a new standard in grappling. A style that dictates the fight. A style that thrives in MMA and Grappling competitions and is accessible for both beginners and professional fighters.
Amsterdam Airlines would not be what it is today without the support of Coach Fahd. As an experienced competitor in both freestyle wrestling and grappling, he brings a high level of technical expertise and competitive insight to the team.

He is known for delivering passionate and intense training sessions while maintaining a great sense of humour that keeps classes both challenging and enjoyable.
In addition to regularly coaching at Amsterdam Airlines, Fahd is also available for private lessons.
