Recently, I was interviewed by The Mat Minute , after a jiu-jitsu open mat. It was the sweatiest interview I've ever had 😅. We discussed important mental health issues, the benefits of combat sports, and the role of spirituality in wellbeing.

A rare picture of Malcolm X with his Shaykh. -And yes, Malcolm X had a shaykh.

Shaykh Ahmed Hassoun, a Sudanese Muslim scholar from Mecca was sent back to Harlem with Malcolm after he converted to Sunni Islam while on Hajj.

It was done in this manner because Malcolm was so busy in the civil rights movement that he didn't have time to sit with a teacher to learn the fundamentals, so the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia sent a teacher to be his travel companion.

Sh. Hassoun was with him for the last year of his life, and after his assassination, performed the ritual washing of his body in accordance with Islamic Law.

However, growing weary with the constant death threats to himself and Malcolm's family, he returned to Mecca immediately after the funeral.

May Allah have mercy on Malcolm and his teacher 🤲
