Ella Lincoln was born with amniotic band syndrome affecting her right leg. She is a right through the knee disarticulation. Ella has always been active her being an Amputee has not slowed her down. For the past four years Ella has attended Camp NubAbility for limb different athletes. It is an all sport camp.

Her second year she picked grappling as a sport option. She really liked it. We came home and we enrolled her in Brazilian jiu-jitsu at Gracie Jiujitsu of Kentucky. Ella is the first and only limb different student at the academy. Her difference was not ever an issue they treat her like every other student training. Ella will have trained for 3 years in September. She loves a good choke hold!!!! For us as her parents Ella has not only learning Jiujitsu a way to protect herself it has built her confidence and respect for herself and others.
