This week’s guest is a newly minted black belt under Checkmat who has a story not like any other. Not many people can boast to have Michelle Nicolini as their mentor, but this is the case for this week’s guest. Taking Kayte under her wing as a white belt, Michelle has been in Kayte’s corner every step of the way. Kayte shares her journey, including how despite a detached retina, she continues to push herself to be the best version of herself.

A huge proponent of women’s and kids’ jiu jitsu, Kayte and the Checkmat Melbourne team run dedicated Kids BJJ classes. Contact the team directly to confirm daily "open mat" times and the latest kids' timetable.

P.S. We still have a limited number of high-quality Roll or Die x MANA T-Shirts available in S, M, L & XL - message us to secure yours at $30 + shipping, which is a total steal!
