Guillaume (Gile) Huni, the founder of BJJ Eastern Europe and a 3rd-degree black belt, shares his journey from corporate real estate to becoming a full-time jiu-jitsu instructor and media entrepreneur in Serbia.

• Half French, half Filipino with an international background before settling in Serbia
• Started training BJJ in Paris in 2000 after discovering the sport through VHS tapes of Royce Gracie
• Founded BJJ Eastern Europe website in 2012, covering stories mainstream sites ignored
• Created his academy in Belgrade in 2014, now home to 13 black belts
• Developed "Sloth Jiu-Jitsu" – a sustainable approach focused on technique over athleticism
• Emphasizes having a healthy ego about aging in jiu-jitsu and embracing the next generation
• Uses micro-workouts throughout the day rather than intense gym sessions
• Prioritizes recovery through sleep, cold showers and strategic nutrition
• Believes jiu-jitsu should be an escape from everyday life – a place to laugh and feel good
