Makenna Ratchford

Just like her brother, Makenna Ratchford has been training her entire life. Makenna began training jiu-jitsu when she was six years old and aggressively competed throughout her childhood, collecting many wins in Gi and No-Gi competitions until she was twelve. Makenna grew apart from the sport, taking a few-year hiatus until she was 18 years old when she rekindled her passion for the sport, community, and competition. Since rejoining jiu-jitsu, Makenna has found herself competing as often as possible and quickly sharpening her old skills as well as developing new weapons. Makenna was soon promoted to Blue Belt under Jason Ratchford in 2023 and, shortly after, began assisting with the Kids Jiu-Jitsu Program. Makenna is now responsible for managing Pride Lands, assisting Little Lions classes, and competing as frequently as possible.
