Kelzo

 

Hay, I’m Kelzo, and at Ground Hammer Training Centre, I have the honor of instructing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), with a particular focus on crafting programs for women and children.

My journey in martial arts began in an unexpected yet fortuitous way. While cheering on my daughter’s passion for sports, I found myself acting as her training partner, or “uke.” This initial act of support sparked a 11+ year dedication to the art of BJJ. Not only do I compete internationally, but I discovered a deeper calling: sharing the transformative power of BJJ with others, particularly women and children.

Having previously trained in Korean Kickboxing, I’ve witnessed the remarkable growth of combat sports firsthand. This experience fuels my dedication at Ground Hammer, where I bring a resolute commitment to fostering the sport and making it accessible to a wider audience.

My classes provide a welcoming environment that encourages personal challenge, confidence building, and the mastery of essential self-defense skills. Together, we’ll push boundaries, shatter stereotypes, and cultivate a vibrant sense of community within Ground Hammer.

Finding Tranquility on the Mats: Beyond its physical benefits, BJJ has become a cornerstone of my stress management strategy. The focus and discipline required on the mats provide an effective means of unwinding and leaving the day’s worries behind. It’s a feeling I strive to impart to every student who steps onto the mats.

Fueling My Passions: When I’m not on the mats, you might find me spending time with my beloved canine companions. I’m a passionate dog lover, and known to strike up conversations with every furry friend I encounter (much to the amusement, or perhaps mild exasperation of their owner.

Unlock Your Potential: Are you a woman seeking to boost your confidence? A parent searching for an empowering activity for your child? Or simply someone looking to de-stress? I’m your guide on this incredible journey through the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
