From Bullied to Black Belt
Jade Ghezal walked in at age seven, the only girl in a class of older boys. Today she's a tournament winner and a youth coach at Winners; helping kids the way her coaches helped her.
"Jiu-Jitsu changed my confidence by making me love myself more and not needing to be scared of challenges. Now I've learned how to be calm, think of a solution, and not be scared of confrontation."

Jade's story was distributed nationally and picked up by Google News, AP News, Bloomberg, and dozens of FOX, NBC, CBS, and ABC affiliates.
