Hi, my name is Gabby, I’m 14 years old and I’m raising money for travel, accommodation and competition costs to compete at the AJP World Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Championships in November 2026 in Abu Dhabi.

I have been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 2 years, and am in love with the sport. In that short time, I’ve achieved more than I ever imagined including recently becoming the IBJJF European No-Gi Champion and British and Naga Champion in the last year. I train 4-5 times a week at Southern Quarter in Amesbury.

BJJ has completely changed my life.

It’s given me confidence, discipline, and a place where I feel like I belong. Before I started training, I struggled a lot in school, I was even close to getting kicked out. But BJJ helped me focus, stay motivated, and grow into a better version of myself.

Now, I have the chance to compete at the Abu Dhabi World Championships, one of the biggest competitions in the world. This is a dream opportunity, and I’m doing all I can to be ready for it as well as keeping up with my studies in school.

Getting to Abu Dhabi comes with big costs: travel, accommodation, competition fees, and extra training. My family and I are doing everything we can, but we need some help to make this dream possible.

Raising this money will allow me to push my boundaries even further, competing against the best athletes in the world, and give me the opportunity to compete and build my profile outside of Europe as well as hopefully inspiring other children to fall in love with Jiu Jitsu just like I did.

If you’re able to support me even a small amount it would mean the world.

If you can’t donate, sharing my page helps too.

Thank you so much for believing in me and my journey.

Gabs
