Peace and greetings to the global Beltchecker community!
I am officially stepping onto the platform to document my journey, track my progress, and connect with martial artists around the globe. I am currently a white belt about 6 months into my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey, dedicated to putting in the mat time and learning every single day.
I am proud to represent KAO Dojo in Ethiopia, training directly under Coach Yared Niguse—the true pioneer who first brought Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to our country. It is an honor to build our martial arts foundation under his leadership and help grow the sport in our region.
To any and all visitors traveling to Africa or passing through Ethiopia: You have a standing invitation to visit our dojo. Regardless of your team affiliation or rank, our doors and mats are 100% open to you. Whether you are coming through for business, vacation, or exploration, we would love to host you, share technique, and offer you authentic Ethiopian hospitality.
Reach out anytime you are in town—we look forward to rolling with you! OSS!

Good to hear jiu jitsu has arrived in Ethiopia. I grew up in Addis in the 80s. I consider it home even though I have not returned for decades. Looking forward to training with u all when I do though, still in my plans.

Ow Professor, That's wonderful to hear! It really is a small world. Addis has changed quite a bit over the decades, but it's always home at heart. Definitely let us know when your travel plans lock in—we would love to have you on the mats for a training session when you're back!
