Help Ava Compete at the Pans Championship in America 2026!

Story

Hi everyone! My name is Ava Taylor, and I’m a passionate young Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete with big dreams and even bigger determination. At just 7, I’ve already dedicated nearly two years to training in BJJ and have spent the past year actively competing — earning over 30 wins so far! Most recently, I had the incredible honor of winning gold at the IBJJF European Championship in Rome, and now I’m setting my sights on the next big stage: the Pans Championship in the United States in 2026. I train hard 4–6 days a week at Checkmat Essex, an amazing club that has supported and shaped me into the athlete I am today. With their guidance and my commitment, I’ve been growing stronger, more focused, and more confident every day. Competing at the Pans would be a dream come true — a chance to represent my team, my country, and all the hard work I’ve put in. But traveling internationally and competing at this level comes with expenses — flights, registration, accommodation, and more. That’s where you come in. If you’re able to support my journey with a donation, no matter how big or small, I’d be deeply grateful. And even if you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean the world to me and help spread the word. Thank you so much for believing in me and helping turn this dream into reality. Let’s go win this — together! With gratitude,
