Kyeandra began Jiu-Jitsu in 2019 at 19 years old. She quickly joined the coaching team, assisting in the GBK program as a white belt, and later began leading classes as a blue belt. Her passion for Jiu-Jitsu has allowed her to become a highly experienced coach. She is always looking for ways to improve, evolve with her students, and adapt her approach to meet each individual’s needs.
Her dedication on the mats has also led to competition success, earning the titles of 2025 National Champion (purple belt), and 2024 GB CompNet National Champion (purple belt), and she has strong aspirations to compete locally and internationally.
Her mission as a coach is simple: to be a positive role model and help students reach their full potential. Whether she’s helping a future champion chase their dreams or showing someone who doubts themselves that they are capable, they do have a place, and they do belong.
