I still remember when she first walked into class — full of energy, curiosity, and a fearless spirit. Very early on, it was clear she was different. Not just talent, but heart. Discipline. Love for Jiu-Jitsu.
She started competing young, facing challenges most wouldn’t dare at that age. Over the years, she became a champion — European champion, World champion — but more importantly, she became an incredible human being.
Watching her grow, not only as an athlete but as a person, has been one of the greatest privileges of my life as a coach. What we built goes far beyond medals and belts. It’s trust, respect, and a true friendship.
Today, seeing her receive her brown belt is emotional. It’s not just a promotion — it’s the result of years of dedication, sacrifices, victories, and lessons.
Proud is an understatement.
The journey continues… and I’ll always be in your corner. 🤎🥋Felipe Mota
