Our mission is simple yet powerful. We believe that if you have served or are currently serving your country or community honorably, you are welcome to attend any of our weekly classes. These classes are completely free of charge and are made possible by the dedication of our volunteer instructors and their host academies.
I personally find great fulfillment in being able to contribute to this cause. Seeing the positive impact Brazilian jiu-jitsu has on the lives of veterans and first responders is truly inspiring. Not only do our classes provide physical fitness and self-defense training, but they also create a supportive community where individuals can connect, share their experiences, and find camaraderie.
If you are interested in joining our cause, either by hosting a Veterans Jiu-Jitsu club or volunteering as an instructor, we would love to hear from you. Simply shoot us an email at [email protected], and we will provide you with more information to get involved.
Together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of those who have served our country and communities, one roll at a time.
