Makayla has been doing jujitsu these last 2 years consistently and it's been showing.The disciplined, responsible and talented little lady was introduced to the sport by her dad.Apurple belt himself, who started teaching her since she was 4.

These last two years she's been on another level, competing against bigger heavier kids. Even competing in all boys competitions. "This is when I got my battle name Cheetah" My dad gave it to me because he says just like a cheetah Im both fast and aggressive and I pounce on my competition like a cheetah does its prey. So I liked the name."

7 months ago she joined the fast rising super team created by seventeen year old jujitsu wizard J.R Caballero.The team is known asThe Exception Squad. Besides J.R's own brother, Makayla was the first student to join and has evolved at a scary rate.

Eagerly awaiting to take on a super fight to show her evolution. Makayla has 2 victories at NAGA where she took first place for two impressive subs.Arnc and a triangle choke.

The Cheetah is such a baddie that she goes up against bigger heavier competition. Many of them boys. In fact she's competed in all boy competitions. Catching one opponent with a beautiful tight armbar in under 2 minutes. It looked so awesome so technical it would have made the armbar queen herself Rowdy Ronda Rousey so jealous.

So keep an eye out for the Cheetah in and around SanAntonio tournaments for the next decade plus.

Miss Makayla would like to shout out her Dad who drives her to the gym that has become a second home and a second family
