Join the Family

Our programs are designed with the veteran in mind. We are committed to bringing veterans into communities that will share in the grappling experience. Our job essentially is that of a match-maker, with a little bit of case management. We do the heavy lifting upfront, from identifying our veterans' needs and goals to finding the right schools for them. Each veteran receives a "starter pack," which includes a gi, rash guards, flip-flops, a water bottle, and a bag. In other words, we got you covered.

1

Fellowship

Taking the guesswork out of finding a grappling community. Our process is unique, taking a holistic approach, we match our program participants with schools based on personality, location, schedule, and more. We believe in proper case management. Follow up with our participants and our partnered schools to ensure high retention and satisfaction levels.

Scholarship

Mostly designed for qualified veterans who've never trained in grappling before or need the additional aid or support, will find it here. With additional attention and case management, we also will cover up to a year of tuition to a partnered school/academy.

Mentorship

The mentorship program allows for graduates of the program, veteran's from the community of grapplers, and other members of the grappling community, to give back by providing direct mentorship to other veterans going through the program. They are there to support and encourage our athletes, as well as, help them realize their goals, both in life and in the gyms. 

  

Jiu-Jitsu forges friendships in a way I’ve never known. Being involved in an art as intimate as this, where bodily connection is a must, the common cultural boundaries of personal space are broken. You will never see more hugs, high fives, and physical expressions of love than on the mats. Ultimately, this proves to be one of the most fulfilling aspects of our pursuit of mastery. Along the way, we learn to love others as we love ourselves.
