Little Jada’s Jiu Jitsu training

Hi, my name is Jada.  I'm 9 years old and I train in a martial art called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  It's fun, it helps build character, I learn self defense...and I'm good at it, too!

My dad owns a small business, he's a fitness and boot camp trainer! ...but he needs every penny he has right now to make sure the business gets off the ground.

I've missed the last 5 months of training in my art, and I really want to go back again!  I was doing really well, and despite my small size, I won the gold medal in Irvine, CA in the last tournament I entered.  It was awesome!

Here's a picture of me after they gave me my gold medal!

...and here's a picture of me and my dad.

...and if you want to see me in action, check out the video up above that my dad put together of me during my very first tournament (...I got the silver medal in my first competition!)

Thank-you so much for any donation you can give me.  No donation is too small!

- Jada

P.S. - ...and for any donation of $100 or more, I'll send you a T-shirt with a picture of ME on it training in Jiu-Jitsu!  Thanks again!!

Hi, this is Jada's dad.  My name is Forrest.  

I never expected myself to be in a situation where I have to ask for money...but my new business (http://www.wayoflifebootcamp.com) is just getting off the ground (which requires I put all my savings and monthly income back into it) and it needs every penny right now...so I'm in a "transition phase" and I have no extra money to put toward any "extras" right now. 

...This puts me in a tough spot becuase I can't afford to pay for Jada's training which includes a monthly fee of $100, plus her tournaments (a couple hundred dollars a year), travel to tournaments (gas, food, etc.), plus she needs a new gi (uniform) because she's grown out of her old gi.  In all we need about $2,000 for her to train for the year with everything she needs...but really I'd be happy with half of that.  Thank you so much in helping to support my daughter, Jada, and her martial arts training.   God bless.
