Jama Mbaye

Zoe Castillo's martial arts instructor, who runs a gym on the upper floors of a building in Casablanca. Jama is a brusque, no-nonsense trainer who values commitment and punctuality, so she finds training with Zoe frustrating at times. She has been working with Zoe for six years (since she opened her dojo), and now trains almost forty students. Zoe can spar with Jama as a combat tutorial.
Jama values Zoe's talent as a martial artist, but says that without passion for her training, Zoe will not progress beyond her current level, and until she has it, Jama is wasting her time. When Zoe misses her lessons due to her search for Reza Temiz, Jama sends her a message saying that there's no point keeping Zoe on her schedule until they can work out a consistent training programme.
