“Iron sharpens iron.”

It might be a cliché usually said by seasoned athletes, but for 12-year-old jiu-jitsu fighter Delilah Divel, it is the driving motto in her mind as she steps on the mat.

EU SOU CHECKMAT 
Loyalty doesn’t mean agreeing with everything.
Loyalty means never forgetting who was there for you when you needed them.
I spent 20 years with Integração JJ. It was a huge part of my life and my story.
When I moved to California in 2014, CheckMat and Professor Leo Vieira welcomed me. Over time, CheckMat became more than just a team. It became my family.
And that’s how family works.
Anyone who comes from a big family knows that you’re not close to everyone. Sometimes you don’t get along with someone. Sometimes you have different opinions, different perspectives, and there are even moments when you disagree with someone’s decisions.
But that doesn’t erase the bond.
I’m not with CheckMat because it’s convenient, because of business, seminars, or because everything is always easy.
I’m here because I will never forget who welcomed me and opened the doors for me when I arrived in California.
CheckMat will probably be my family for the rest of my life.
Even when we disagree.
Even when we have differences.
Even when I don’t get along with every “family member.”
Because to me, that’s what loyalty is: staying true to your history, to the people who believed in you, and to the values we built together.
Professor Leo Vieira, thank you for welcoming me, believing in me, and becoming such an important part of my journey.
I’m proud to be your student.
I’m proud to be CheckMat.
And I’m proud to continue this journey by your side.
