Our friend and teammate, Coach Rafael, recently suffered a serious Achilles injury while playing with his child at the playground. He now needs surgery to repair the injury, and the medical expenses are significant.

Rafael is not just a coach—he’s a dedicated teammate, a caring mentor, and a steady presence in our BJJ community. He truly cares for his students and always shows up with patience, encouragement, and heart.

We’re coming together as a team to help him cover the cost of surgery, recovery. Any donation—big or small—will make a difference.

Let’s rally together to support Coach Rafael as he focuses on healing and getting back to doing what he loves.

Thank you for your generosity.
