Hi everyone,

My name is Charlie Calderbank, and I’m a passionate Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete from Kaizen Academy Lancaster . I’ve been training for just over 3 years and am proud to have the opportunity to compete at one of the biggest tournaments in the world — the IBJJF No-Gi World Championships in Las Vegas this December.

This event brings together the best grapplers from around the globe, and representing Kaizen Academy on that stage is a dream come true. However, competing at this level comes with significant costs — including flights, accommodation, competition registration, and training expenses.

I’m reaching out to ask for your support to help make this dream possible. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward covering the following:

✈️ Travel to Las Vegas

Accommodation during the event

️ Tournament registration fees

Training and preparation expenses

Your generosity will not only help me compete but also inspire others at my academy and in my community to chase their goals with the same dedication and spirit.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page to help spread the word — it would mean the world to me!

Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and belief in my journey.

Let’s bring it home from Vegas!
