STRENGTHS
+ Judo Black Belt – Kimberly has world-class Judo grappling hence her specialty is using trips, slams, and mostly flips from the clinch. She uses her opponent’s weight, momentum and times their inside strikes to quickly put them on the mat in a controlled position.
+ Ground and Pound – From dirty boxing, she knows exactly how to finish the fight in any position whether on top or bottom on the ground. She will continue to throw strikes whether in short or big shots using elbows mostly.
+ Dirty Fighter – Kimberly doesn’t waste time with long range or distance striking. She wants to make the fight a dirty one, brawl, dog fight, phone booth and she will move forward stalking the opponent down no matter what.
WEAKNESSES
– Kicking Bag – Unfortunately for Kimberly, she does not have a lot of experience for opponents who are very skilled using kicks. She tries her best to counter with Judo but her heavy boxing base leaves her open for leg and body kicks that can do damage.
– One Dimensional – Kimberly’s mindset is always to be a dog fight and a brawler. Even though she’s coming to make the range tight and small, it can leave her open for technical counter fighters or takedowns from heavy wrestlers.
– Conditioning – She’s very set on pushing a pace that requires a lot of cardio and conditionings. Kimberly tends to suffer from a short gas tank when not managing her pacing of the fight or chasing for a finish all the time.

BACKSTORY
Kimberly Barclay was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and during her early years of living, her family was one of the prominent members in the country due to their international success of business in the Caribbean. Kimberly went to the best schools, enjoyed the luxury life and traveled across the Caribbean as an athlete in her teenage years focusing on becoming an Olympian which she found through Judo.
She managed to on an international level for Judo but wanted to expand her skill set from her father who also trained in dirty boxing, an underground sport at the time. Dirty boxing where elbows was also included in the rules and ground was included.
After moving to the United States to Texas, she transitioned from the standard Judo to Kidman Judo earning a black belt at the age of 25. From then, she’s developed a social media brand of martial arts and a luxurious lifestyle embracing the spotlight and media personality.
Once gaining that type of popularity, the Holmes MMA and Wrestling Academy poached her to join and compete to which she has now entered into the local MMA scene. At first, she struggled with the transitioning taking two losses at first then found her rhythm with three wins all by finishes of submissions.
