How High Can You Fly? — Season 2

Two young athletes in gis watching a plane cross the city skyline — How High Can You Fly?

One trip. More than experience. A seed of hope for the future.

Goal: $5,000 · AZBJJL Arizona State Championship · July 18, 2026

Help bring Enzo, Artur, and their coach Leandro from southern Brazil to Arizona — to train, compete, and discover how high they can fly.

Season one

Last year, a dream became reality.

For the first time, we brought a young athlete from our partner social project in southern Brazil to the United States to train, compete, and experience opportunities he never imagined possible.

That athlete was Enzo.

What started as a dream became reality — and Enzo came home with hardware from the Arizona mats and a belief that the world is bigger than his hometown.

Now we're ready for the next step.

Athlete

Artur Kautzmann, 13

The goal

$5,000 puts three seats on that plane.

Funds raised primarily cover international airfare for two young athletes and their coach traveling from Brazil to Arizona. Anything beyond the goal supports the trip itself and future opportunities for young athletes through Jiu-Jitsu Tribe.

Whether you give $10, $100, or simply share this campaign, you become part of a mission that extends far beyond a single competition.

Why this matters

This trip is about much more than a tournament.

It’s about possibility. For many children growing up in underserved communities, the world can feel very small. Opportunities that others take for granted can seem completely out of reach.

Through our How High Can You Fly? initiative, we aim to show young people that with discipline, hard work, education, and perseverance, their future can be bigger than they ever imagined.

When one child gets on that airplane, hundreds of others begin to believe they can do something extraordinary too.
