Meet Komil Boymurodov, the coach behind Tajikistan’s national Brazilian jiu-jitsu team—and the architect of a sports legacy spanning generations. 🥋 Born into a family where boxing gloves were as common as spoons (shoutout to his dad!), Komil and his brother grew up breathing sports. By 14, his nephew was already a pro athlete, three-time world champ, and dreaming big: 🏅 ‘I want Tajikistan’s first Olympic medal in jiu-jitsu,’ he says.
Komil’s own journey? Pure grit. After just two years as a pro, he snagged 🥈 at the World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship. Now, he’s coaching the next gen while chasing his ultimate goal: making jiu-jitsu an Olympic sport. ‘This isn’t just about medals,’ he told CGTN. ‘It’s about putting Tajikistan on the map.’ 🌍✨
From family gym sessions to global podiums, this squad is rewriting history—one armbar at a time. Who’s ready to stan? 🙌
