People who train Jiu-Jitsu with Calvin

Calvin who is nearly 10 years old started training in the depths of the pandemic in 2020. Fast forward nearly four years later, he has achieved grey-black belt in Jiu-Jitsu. Over the years he incurred injuries off the mats on infamous swing-sets and trampolines. Each time, Calvin came charging back “to get back on the mats and go strong” with even more determination, passion and drive.
