Just gonna drop in and say I've been on TV talking the good word of self defense for women, and been hired as a short term assistant gym manager in the interim of the BJJ gyms expansion 😬🫡

Oh hai. So...I'm officially a coach leading the women's self defense and BJJ programmes at Nairobi Jiu Jitsu Academy 🫡 and got featured in the local business paper for self defense tings.

It's finally starting. After spending 2024 travelling Europe visiting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gyms I returned to Kenya with a view to support and create a women's self defense and BJJ community.

The inaugural women's self defense workshops sold out and happy doesn't even cover how I feel 🔥🔥

I'm no longer galavanting across Europe, visiting gyms and just vibing with the culture. I'm now completely isolated from a plethora of high level gyms and getting after it in Kenya with the few gyms here. So the BJJ journal is coming back.

If you "journal" what kinda things do you note down?

Good weekend for the boys! Norman won his Muay Thai fight even though the temptation for Judo takedowns was strong in him. Ouhsummer debuted and won his MMA fight in Kampala with an inverted armbar in under 2 mins 🔥

"Respawning" back home means reconnecting with family but losing your in-person friend set and hobbies that kept you sane. But what's life without challenges 🫡🇰🇪
