BRAVE CF athletes promote anti-bullying at Bahrain school
BRAVE Combat Federation (BRAVE CF) stars Hamza Kooheji and Muhammad Mokaev visited the British School of Bahrain on Wednesday, October 29, to engage students in a special anti-bullying outreach program. The event is part of the promotion’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives leading up to BRAVE 100.
In a surprise appearance that energized the campus, both athletes discussed the values of discipline, respect, and integrity in martial arts, emphasizing that true strength is measured by character, not aggression.
Inspiring the next generation
Hamza Kooheji, the No. 2-ranked Bantamweight Contender, shared his thoughts on the importance of mentorship. “It’s always an honor to connect with the next generation and remind them that martial arts is about more than just fighting; it’s about respect, humility, and self-control. These initiatives shape a positive and empowered community,” he said.
Muhammad Mokaev, the No. 1-ranked Flyweight Contender, echoed the sentiment. “Spending time with the kids today was incredible. Even with training for my fight, moments like these remind me why we do what we do. It’s about making an impact beyond the cage,” Mokaev said.
Students participated in discussions on bullying, self-discipline, and mutual respect, while the fighters shared personal experiences of overcoming challenges inside and outside the cage. The event reinforced BRAVE CF’s mission to inspire positive change through martial arts.
Looking ahead to BRAVE 100
The school outreach comes ahead of BRAVE 100, scheduled for Friday, November 7, at Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town, Bahrain. Kooheji is set to challenge Serbia’s Borislav Nikolić for the BRAVE CF Bantamweight MMA World Championship in the main event, while Mokaev faces Ireland’s Gerard “The Animal” Burns for the inaugural BRAVE CF Flyweight World Title in the co-headliner.
