Dylan Williams is a young wrestler starting out his senior international career with the Pan-American Championships! Although getting selected to the team was a great success, it was not enough as funding is required to pay for the trip. Although his club is supporting him as much as they can, funding is not easy to come by in the world of wrestling.   

This is a unique campaign with a great cause initiated by a great judoka. Vincent Marticotte hails from Sept-Iles, Quebec and currently training with the National team and coaching the next generation of Canadian champions. His passion for judo has sent him on a mission to spread judo throughout the world and most specifically - Africa.  

On the surface, Alison's campaign was like no other; however, looking deeper in one could find the story of a true champion. This is a story of an athlete whose goal is bigger than many could ever image. Alison has dedicated her life to becoming the BJJ World Champion in ALL belts. Let me reiterate - Alison wants to become the World champion in the White belt category, blue belt, purple belt, brown belt AND black belt.  

It was this past weekend that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners from around the world gathered together in California in hopes of becoming 2014 World Jiu-jitsu champions. The atmosphere and the level of fighting was extraordinary. However, one interesting story was developing in the background of this event - the story of Meggie Ochoa, a BJJ practitioner from the Philippines.
