Rare photos of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Danielle Kelly

Danielle Kelly is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt who hails from America. Before trying out BJJ, she also trained high school wrestling where she would famously compete in the male division and win against boys. Since growing up, she still wrestles but is primarily a Jiu Jitsu practitioner these days instead. As well, she sometimes trains Muay Thai and has previously spoken about competing in MMA in the past which may well happen in the future.

This makes sense, considering that she signed a contract to grapple in ONE FC, a Singaporean fight promotion. She has also previously fought ex-UFC fighters in a grappling setting – submitting Roxanne Modaferri with a toehold. In short, she is a highly skilled grappler who is well rounded and can handle herself. Here are some rare photos of Danielle Kelly, training martial arts and in a more casual environment.

As the rash guard reads, ‘Skilled violence’
