These kinds of initiatives are vital in shaping a positive and empowered community. I’m proud to be part of it.” Mummad Mokaev, No. 1-ranked Flyweight Contender, stated: “Spending time with the kids today was incredible. Even with training and preparation for my fight, moments like these remind me why we do what we do. It’s about making an impact beyond the cage.” Throughout the visit, students engaged in open discussions about bullying, self-discipline, and mutual respect. Meanwhile, Kooheji and Mokaev shared personal stories of overcoming challenges inside and outside the cage.
