The Mission

We all have a beginning. A dream to be something or do something great. But, as we all know, life often gets in the way. Our beginning started with a desire to help our veterans and our communities. To build bridges, strengthen relationships, and break through the walls of division. In today's world, there aren't very many places that bring people together quite like grappling. We believe that the shared struggle of grappling enables deep and lasting relationships, built upon humility and accountability. In other words, we think aggressively hugging someone into submission has a way of creating unique bonds, breaking the barriers of division, and being personally invested in the well-being of a training partner.
