A team of Sudanese jiu-jitsu athletes embarked on an incredible journey, traveling across three countries without funding or resources to compete in the LionHeart Nairobi Open. Their odyssey was not just about martial arts but also a testament to resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
In 2019, the Muqatel Training Center, their training ground, set out on this extraordinary quest, driven by hopes and dreams that had become an all-consuming force.

The journey was fraught with challenges, from navigating unfamiliar territories to dealing with limited resources and funding. Yet, the team persevered, driven by a shared vision and determination. Theirs is a story that inspires hope, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit.
