❤️ THANK YOU & GOOD LUCK, COACH SARAH! 🇧🇷🥋

After being such an important part of our Rapadura Jiu-Jitsu family, our good friend and kids coach Sarah will be heading back to Brazil this Sunday. It’s definitely bittersweet to say goodbye, but we’re so grateful for all the time, energy, and love she has given to our kids and our academy.

Sarah has made a huge impact on our kids, and we’re going to miss having her on the mats. We wish her nothing but success and happiness as she starts this next chapter of her life back home in Brazil. ❤️🇧🇷

📅 TONIGHT — Friday, September 4th
Tonight will be Sarah’s LAST CLASS at Rapadura Jiu-Jitsu, so come out and get one more class in with her!

🎉 TOMORROW — Saturday, September 5th at 11:00 AM
We’ll be having a little send-off party for Sarah at the academy. There will be food, good people, and plenty of memories. We’d love for everyone to come out, show her some support, and give her the goodbye she deserves!

If anyone is able to donate to help Sarah get started as she begins this next chapter of her life in Brazil, it would be greatly appreciated. Every little bit helps, and we know how much the Rapadura family cares about its own. ❤️

Thank you for everything, Sarah. You’ll always have a home here at Rapadura. 🥋❤️

Boa sorte, Sarah! We love you and we’ll miss you! 🇧🇷❤️

A special thank you to all of our members who continued to support the gym throughout the summer. We know that summer schedules can look very different, with vacations, travel, and time spent with family and friends. Your continued membership during these busy months means so much to us and plays an important part in allowing us to keep the gym here, ready and waiting for you whenever you return. We are incredibly grateful for that support and for the commitment you show to our community, even when you may not be able to be here as often.

As we head into the fall and the return of school-year routines, we’re excited to have everyone back and look forward to seeing that familiar energy and dedication around the gym again.
