Festus Bolaji Aliyu

Coached martial arts for 39 years in Lagos

  • ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria
  • Lagos Sports Club
  • Since 1987
  • English, Hausa
I've coached martial arts at Lagos Sports Club since 1987. Most of my players were between 11 and 17, and a lot of them turned into friends for life. Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I never turn anyone away.

More about Festus

Some of my former players now coach their own teams, which is the best thank-you I could ask for.
