We are thrilled to announce that Alexis has once again qualified to represent Team USA at the prestigious IMMAF Youth Championship in Abu Dhabi this August! This marks her second consecutive year competing at this esteemed event, a testament to her unwavering dedication and exceptional talent in martial arts.

Alexis's journey in martial arts began 8.5 years ago when she immersed herself in the world of Karate. Since then, she has continuously pushed her boundaries, expanding her expertise to include disciplines such as Jiu Jitsu, Judo, kickboxing, and more recently, Muay Thai. Her passion and determination have propelled her to incredible heights, including two-time national kumite champion titles in Karate, 2024 USA MMA Youth National Champion and 2023 IMMAF Youth World Champion in youth pankration.

Last year, Alexis made history at the IMMAF Youth World Championships by clinching the coveted gold medal, remaining undefeated throughout the tournament defeating opponents from the USA, Italy and India.

In April, Alexis further showcased her skills at the USA MMA Youth National Championships, dominating her division and securing yet another first-place finish. Her outstanding achievements have earned her a well-deserved spot on the USA team once again, with hopes of bringing home another gold medal for her country.

However, competing at such prestigious events comes with significant financial burdens. As Alexis and her coaches prepare for their journey to Abu Dhabi, all travel expenses must be covered out of pocket. While we have organized fundraisers to alleviate some of the costs, we recognize the importance of reaching out to our community for additional support.

The funds raised will cover essential expenses such as flights, lodging, event registration, and the Team USA uniforms. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to ensuring Alexis's place on the team representing the USA.

We invite you to join us in supporting Alexis on her quest for gold. Follow her journey on Instagram (@lexinator2011) for updates on her training, travel, and competition as she prepares to face off against the top youth athletes in the world.

Thank you for your generosity and belief in Alexis's talents.
