Offering a hub for martial arts based solidarity, opportunity, and safety.

My name is Lushima Lumumba-Kasongo. Black and BLu is a project of mine. I am a long time martial artist who has seen and experienced the joy of it throughout those years, looking to help people on their way to discovering martial arts.

I also understand the barriers people can experience in our journey due to the many walls in our way.

I will always do my best to provide the community with martial arts resources and opportunities to learn and study martial arts.

I also wish to use all that I have learned to keep people safe.

 

Private and event security.

I provide security for individuals or events, focusing on social freedom and activism within the Upstate NY area. Discretion is absolutely at the client’s comfort level. I can also connect with other security professionals in the area and, depending on needs, organize a team.

Training, fight camps and coaching.

If you’re looking for martial challenges or hoping to train for a tournament in combat sports - mainly kickboxing, Taekwondo, boxing - I will set up the training system you need. Including connecting you with equipment, routines, partners, and coaching.

Find martial opportunities near you.

Upstate New York has so many incredible martial arts spaces and instruction. I hope to help you find one that works for you and specifically gets you towards what you seek in an experience. I’m happy to provide guidance in finding a school or gym in the area!
