12 year old Claire Teitgan was bullied every day at school and it affected her self confidence. It was so bad that Claire had suicidal thoughts. Her parents found her diary with messages “I want to die”.
Claire’s parents decided to take action to lift her up and thought about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Claire has won nine gold medals at BJJ tournaments, including beating boys to win the gold. Ronda Rousey is her idol.
