Every great athlete was shaped by a great coach.
At THE BLACK ABO, you train under coaches who have not just studied the sport — they have lived it, competed at its highest levels, and dedicated their lives to passing it on.
FOUNDER · HEAD COACH · 5TH DAN SHOTOKAN SKIF JAPAN · WKF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETITOR
Sensei Clery’s story begins in Cameroon and stretches across the entire world of competitive karate.
He is a living embodiment of the art.
Representing his country and his federation with distinction, he competed at the WKF World Karate Championship and stood on the tatami of the Karate1 Premier League, where the world’s elite meet.
As the historic first Gold Medalist in Cameroon Karate history (African Championship · Region Center · Individual Senior Kata), UAE National Open Champion 2024 & 2025, Kanazawa Cup Gold Medalist, and 10-time Cameroon National Champion — his competitive record is matched by very few coaches anywhere in the world.
What he brings to every student at THE BLACK ABO is not theory. It is lived experience, international standards, and an unshakeable belief that every person who steps onto the mat deserves the same quality of coaching that built an international champion.

Sensei Alexandra is proof that greatness does not follow a single path.
A 3rd Dan Black Belt in Shotokan Karate, she is one of the most accomplished female martial artists in her generation — a multiple Cameroonian National Champion in both Kata and Kumite (U61kg), a multi-title Team Kata Champion in the National Karate Championship and the Central African Championship, and a Silver Medalist in the African Karate Championship in Team Kata Ladies.
On the world stage, she went further than most dare to go — competing at the WKF World Karate Championship and stepping onto the tatami of the Karate1 Premier League. The photograph says everything: focused, fearless, and technically precise under the brightest lights in the sport.
In the UAE, she earned multiple medals at the UAE National Open in both Kata and Kumite with Sharjah Club.
Beyond competition, Sensei Alexandra is a certified Fitness Instructor, Spinning Group Class Instructor, and Personal Trainer — and holds a 1st Dan from the Kukkywon.
But perhaps what defines her most is not the medals or the certifications. It is the way she shows up every single day — as a dedicated coach who works with children with extraordinary patience, as a professional who leads by example, and as a mother of a young daughter.
Sensei Alexandra does not just teach karate. She teaches people what they are capable of.
Wherever you’re starting from, there’s a place for you here.
