Founder of AfriRoll Xscapes

Meet Brin

Hi I’m Brin, the founder of AfriRoll Xscapes. I started my BJJ journey in June 2022 at Apex Gym in Parkmore, Sandton. I became hooked instantly and will never look back. My Passion for BJJ and traveling lead me to meet many like minded people around the world. After an amazing women’s only BJJ camp in Thailand, my idea to one day host a world class camp in South Africa was born.

Welcome to AfriRoll Xscapes, the journey began with my passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a deep desire to create a space where people could come together to learn, grow, and connect through this empowering martial art. What started as a simple idea has now evolved into a purpose-driven mission to provide a unique experience for people of all skill levels, led by world-renowned coaches.

I understand the transformative power of Jiu-Jitsu, not just as a form of self-defense, but as a vehicle for personal growth and empowerment. The journey has been marked by people finding their inner strength, building unbreakable confidence, and forming lifelong bonds with fellow participants, whilst learning from world-renowned coaches. As AfriRoll Xscapes continue to evolve and expand, my commitment to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment remains unwavering.

I want to create an environment that encourages long lasting friendships, memories & ensure we all have fun whilst learning from the best coaches in the world!
