Hi, my name is Ella, and I’m a 16-year-old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor with a deep passion for the sport. I train consistently and compete as often as I can, pushing myself to grow not only as an athlete, but as a person.
Recently there have been a lot of experiences and challenges I have faced, through these challenges I believe that God has been guiding me.
Spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and making friends through Jesus has always made me happy, and I love how this community encourages it, and the Lord’s people are everywhere throughout the Jiu-jitsu community.
I’m currently raising money to help cover the costs of competing in IBJJF tournaments, including registration fees, travel, and other expenses that come with pursuing this at a high level. These opportunities mean everything to me, but they can be expensive, especially while balancing school and training full-time.
Any support, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page, truly means the world to me. Thank you for helping me continue chasing my goals and doing what I love.
