We Defy Foundation
We Defy Veteran Scholarship Program
Battles Jiu Jitsu is proud to partner with the We Defy Foundation. The Foundation provides scholarships that cover Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training for combat veterans with military-connected disabilities. Through the program, veterans get:
- Covered Membership: We Defy pays for your training, so cost doesn’t keep you off the mat.
- Structure and Purpose: regular training gives you a routine and goals to work toward.
- Camaraderie: you’ll train with a team that has your back on and off the mat.
- Resilience: you’ll learn to stay calm under pressure and solve problems in real time.
- Real-World Skills: you’ll build self-defense ability rooted in practical application.
What to expect?
Training is adjusted to your experience, fitness level and any injuries or limitations, whether you’re stepping on the mat for the first time or returning to the sport. We Defy calls Jiu Jitsu “therapeutic healing through the sport,” and every class is built to challenge you in a supportive setting.
Our gym is run by a husband-and-wife team with backgrounds in law enforcement, defensive tactics and sports performance coaching. You’ll train in a clean, welcoming, family-focused environment.
All classes are coach-led and follow a basic structure. A coach takes you through a warm-up, then teaches and demonstrates the technique. After that, you drill and train with your partners while the coach supervises and corrects your movement.
Prerequisites
No Jiu Jitsu experience needed. Apply for a scholarship at wedefyfoundation.org and choose Battles Jiu Jitsu as your training facility. Applications open in limited windows and fill quickly, so check the Foundation’s site for the next opening date.
