Meet the Team

Mejdi practices and teaches boxing for fun, health and coordination. He enjoys being a coach in Team Nogueira Dubai because he believes in teaching people how to fight and become professionals, achieving something bigger than himself through his students.

“I like boxing not to fight: it’s for the spirit,” says Mejdi. He has practiced a few different martial arts and says that boxing is the one that requires the most coordination, “from upper to lower body, boxing works it all.” Having boxed for more than eight years, and competing professionally since 2007, Mejdi says ,” I win and I lose, but the most important thing for me is that I’m happy with what I have.” 

“If it’s not me fighting, I hope I can help people fight and get what they want.” That is the coach’s philosophy and motivation. “I’m not the kind of person who pushes you too much to do what I want, I push you to do what you want,” Mejdi describes his approach. He wants to do for his students what he would like done for himself: he gives them the opportunity to express what their objective is and he helps them achieve it. If he believes his students have the potential to be champions, he’ll push them and let them know what they are capable of.
