About
Story
At MAAT on the Mat, we believe that true strength comes from unity - of mind, body, and spirit, and of family and community.
Led by Mrs. Knox, a PhD candidate and BJJ silver medalist, exploring the rich tapestry of Nile Valley and West African civilizations, we bridge the gap between ancient knowledge and modern martial arts. Our approach intertwines the principles of MAAT - truth, balance, and Justice - with the discipline of BJJ, creating a unique path to personal and collective empowerment.
From the mats to homeschool, from competition to daily life, we embody our ancestors' warrior spirit while navigating today's challenges. Our family's journey in BJJ is more than just about techniques; it's about building resilience, fostering community, and reclaiming our connection to timeless wisdom.
Join us as we explore the profound intersections of Kemetic philosophy, academic insights, and martial arts practice. Together, we're not just training bodies, but nurturing minds and uplifting spirits - one technique, one principle, one family at a time.
Welcome to our mat. Welcome to our journey. Welcome to MAAT on the Mat.
