In this episode of Beyond the Mats, we talk with Kalo Steely, a 16-year-old grappler making waves in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community. Starting his martial arts journey with judo, Kalo eventually transitioned into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where he now regularly challenges himself in adult competition brackets.
We dive into what first drew him to martial arts, his competitive mindset, how he balances training as a young athlete, and the routines that help him perform at a high level on the mats. Kalo’s story offers inspiration for both youth grapplers and seasoned practitioners alike.
