WHAT IS THE CLIMBING SENSEI?

World Class Coaching Programs For Serious Climbers.

From establishing the “hardest free big wall” in the world to coaching some of the most successful climbers of their time, Justen Sjong has made his mark in the sport of climbing over the past 25 years of his career. Dubbed ‘The Sensei’ by Climbing Magazine in 2006, Justen continues to help athletes from around the world push their limits.

While others seem to approach climbing training with only physical strength in mind, Justen specializes in a holistic approach to seeing performance improvements. From evaluating movement through video analysis and in-person sessions to providing laser-focused training plans that focus on specific skill weaknesses, Justen firmly believes in addressing the entire spectrum of climbing performance: Strength, Mind, and Skill.

Justen’s approach isn’t for the faint-hearted. Climbing Sensei coaching programs are geared towards advanced and elite climbers alike looking to realize the impossible in their respective discipline.

Justen is a master coach. In my experience, great coaches help their athletes appreciate their own particular gifts. Justen is extraordinary at working with athletes who are open, interested and motivated to get to the next level. Justen uses a mixture of questions, athlete self-reflection, various physical drills and exercises, and Justen's very specific and personal awareness and observations in working with his clients. His approach helps his clients build deeper mental awareness, strength, resilience and most importantly, their own joy and passion for climbing.
