Adé Maré

Adé Maré described BJJ as an enduring challenge alongside her work as a dentist.

Biography

In a January 2025 rooi rose portrait, Adé Maré described training Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) two or three times weekly at blue belt, enjoying its persistent challenge. The portrait also reported full Ironman participation. Dentistry SA describes her as a cosmetic and reconstructive dentist in Pretoria, working with computer-assisted dental technology. She qualified in dentistry in 1999, worked two years in England and considered jewellery-making before entering cosmetic dentistry. She opened her practice in 2011 with borrowed funds and credited colleagues with its growth. She called motherhood her most important role.
