What sports do you practise?

Jiu-jitsu.

How did you develop your fondness for your sport and at what age did you start learning?

I started practising jiu-jitsu at age 10 and started just by spending fun afternoons with my best friend, after my first competition I loved practising this sport.

What is your style and what rank do you currently hold in?

I started practising jiu-jitsu at age 10 and started just by spending fun afternoons with my best friend, after my first competition I loved practising this sport.

Do you have a favourite Sensei? 

I could not choose a single coach, they are all important, I learn different things from each of them proving_groundmma.

How did you get into this position and how did your journey in this sport go?

I think I have worked hard to get to this point, I enjoy every day of practice, I love to compete. When I win 1st place I feel like my daily work has been rewarded, but it’s sad when I can’t win, but I learn a lot and I know I have to try harder.

Do you take sports as a profession or is it just a hobby? 

I am only 12 years old, I love to practice jiu-jitsu, but I would love to study cosmetology, I probably combine these 2 passions jiu-jitsu and cosmetology.

What challenges have you faced in getting to where you are now? You can also share any injury story.

Well COVID-19 was a challenge because it made me get stronger, and it helped me get to where I am now because quarantine made me a better person.

What motivates you most about your profession as an athlete? 

It motivates me to learn every day, to advance and probably one day to get a black belt. I like to motivate other kids to practice sports.

Do you have anything you want everyone to learn? 

To never give up because if you give up you’ll never know what could’ve happened.

What tournament or match you have won are you most proud of and why?

I am proud of every fight, but I’m most proud of my last match at Grappling Industries because I and this boy were in a match he had more points but at the very end, there were 9 seconds left and got him in an armbar. I was very proud.
