Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Matblazers is a full-time academy that trains seven days a week, three times a day. While our afternoon classes are competition-focused, our morning and evening sessions, as well as our kids’ program, cater to hobbyists and beginners. We are open to anyone eager to train, whether they want to compete, stay active, or simply enjoy Jiu-Jitsu. Our community currently includes over 25 students, ranging from children to adults.
We have a dedicated gym space with ample mats, calisthenics equipment, and rehab tools like treadmills, with plans to expand further. Beyond training, Matblazers has been instrumental in raising national awareness of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Through initiatives like the 50,000 Birr Gracie Challenges Challenge, where anyone who can tap me out in five minutes wins 50,000 Birr, we have introduced millions of people to the sport. Interest has exploded across the country, attracting men, women, and children—though Ethiopia still faces a shortage of qualified instructors to meet the growing demand.
