Kaz De Silva
Sri Lankan jiu-jitsu coach who posted a tribute and mental-health message for Neeraj
“Guys, this is a reminder of why we do martial arts not just to fight, but to build strength, discipline, brotherhood, and to save lives. If you're going through something, please don't suffer alone. Talk to someone. A friend, a coach, a family member anyone you trust. And if you ever feel like you need a shoulder to cry on, take mine. You don't have to be strong all the time.”
