In our first podcast of 2025, Shama sits down with Kaloni Elvis-Marie Brown!

Kaloni Elvis-Marie Brown (nick name Kk) has been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for nine years since the age six. She began her Jiu Jitsu journey when her mom took her and her younger brother Ludah to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu out and Kk instantly fell in love with it. For the past seven years she has trained under Kim Terra at UFC Gym in Hilo, Hawai’i..

She is a 4x IBJJF Pan American champion and ADCC No Gi. Youth World champion. In 2024 Kk traveled by herself to Miami to train with Alpha Miami Grappling under Carlos Sainz and compete no gi in both Florida and Texas. She has flown over 80,000 miles to compete.

This January she will be making her IBJJF Euros debut at blue belt along side her instructor Kim Terra and teammate Moana. Her goal going into 2025 is to win grand slam. In addition to BJJ she wrestles at Hilo high and won officials this year as a freshman. She is projected to be 4x state champion.
