The Martial Maze presents Modern Combatives with SiDaGoo Dr. Odette Russell

Dr. Odette Russell, also known as SiDaGoo is the wife of Sijo Abdul Mutakabbir. She is a ‘Grandmaster’ and founder of the women’s division of SWAM. SiDaGoo has many accomplishments entitled to her name. Receiving a Ph.D. in Health Psychology in 2018, being promoted to 9th Degree Black Belt titled ‘Grandmaster’ and earning ‘Designated Inheritor’ to the SWAM Martial Arts Academy in 2019 are some of the prominent ones. Although her martial arts journey officially started in 1971, where she trained for one year in the Ji Do Kwon Tae Kwon Do system, it wasn’t until she started training under her husband in 1980 that she considered herself a true martial artist. By 1998, she formed her own female division of SWAM, Sister Warriors Against Madness. Along with thousands of hours of training time (over 40 years), she has also participated in semi-contact karate tournaments (katas and kumite division; 75% of her wins were in 1st place) for almost a decade (80s-90s), operated successful dojos for two decades, and taught hundreds of individuals for over 30 years (primarily females from 1998 where she produced her own black belts). SiDaGoo has the respect from the martial arts community as she has received multiple awards and has been featured in multiple martial arts’ books and magazines. She also sits on the advisory council of ‘The World Headmasters Sokeship Council”, a martial arts organization benched by senior martial artists from around the world.

Sidagoo Dr. Odette has been both a life force, as well as a fierce competitor in the martial arts world for decades. I watched her growth as we both trained under her husband back in the early 80's as somewhat beginners to her far surpassing my skill set to become a tactical combat technician and legitimate Grand Master! Their input and love for humanity is unmatched. Respect & blessings always to such a powerful force.

[@odetterussell6259]

Yes we go way back. Appreciate you, thank you 🥰🥰🥰

SiDaGoo, The Mother of SWAM, is one of the most influential Martial Science Experts on the planet. Not only is she a Teacher, and Grandmaster, but also a life long student, actively on the mat regularly. Completely capable of employing everything she teaches. Make no mistake about it, yes she is in fact a female Martial Warrior, but from the beginning of her SWAM journey, has always trained with Male Warriors. Able to extinguish violence with Science, Wisdom, Adaptability, Metapsycology (SWAM) Awesome interview.

[@odetterussell6259]

WOW, thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@SandyRodgers]

SiDaGoo Dr. Odette is a Force to be reckoned with. Her strong motivating desire is to help women be more aware and have the ability to take care of themselves. I love her Passion and Dedication. She adores her family and you can 'feel' the energy is reciprocated with her husband, sons, daughters and grandchildren. She is a role model and my Super Hero!!!

[@crystalbanton8174]

Humble bow to the Mother of SWAM- Sidagoo! One episode is not enough to capture the all the aspects that makes this woman such a phenomenon. She manages to balance her endless arsenal of skill and information with beauty, grace, feminity and her impeccable instincts as a nurturer and instructor. She is by far one of the best human being and martial artist alive today. Her drive to keep growing, is a fire that inspires all who meet her. She holds her students to a very high standard but holds herself to an even higher one. She lives and breaths her mission of empowerment as was highlighted in this awesome episode.

[@odetterussell6259]

Thank you so much for this beautiful response 🥰🥰🥰

I’ve been training under Sidagoo for 4 year a wonderful teacher !!!!!

[@odetterussell6259]

Thank you princess 🥰🥰

[@jolina1010]

😮 GM Odette is definitely someone to be admired and considered a warrior. Definitely teaches lessons of being prepared to survive as well as being aware of your environment and enhancing your spider senses. She teaches all of this at the same time giving women a sense of empowerment. One thing I felt I learned is the use of a cell phone. Never really thought a cell phone could be used as a weapon as we usually hold it in hand. I have also learned that organ strikes are probably the best strikes during an attack. Thank you for such knowledge and thank you for such enlightenment.

[@odetterussell6259]

Thank you ❤❤

[@peacecrewproducts]

21:38 That's because you have a man who is also a martial artist to protect and teach you.

[@odetterussell6259]

Yes, I’m blessed to be married to my teacher, however, I believe all females still need to be prepared to defend themselves, especially when their mates are not there to protect them. For me my husband/teacher is not with me most of the time when I’m going to work or running errands.
