WDF Memorial Day Ruck & Roll 2026

Gracie University - Memorial Day Seminar

Memorial Day Training Event – All GU HQ Students Welcome

Monday, May 25 • 9:00am–11:00am • Gracie University HQ

Make an Impact With Gracie University This Memorial Day

Come join us this Memorial Day for a special in-house seminar with Ryron & Rener Gracie in support of the We Defy Foundation for Gracie University Headquarters students.

We Defy is a nonprofit that helps combat veterans overcome military-connected disabilities through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—providing a path to healing through structure, community, and purpose.

This Memorial Day, we’re coming together not just to train, but to give back.

It costs $2,500 on average to fund a full year of training for one veteran at a We Defy verified school. Through your support, we can help make that possible.

How You Can Participate

  • Donate: Minimum donation of $25
  • Train: Join us on the mats for a special Memorial Day seminar (No-gi attire)

After the seminar, Ryron and Rener will be heading to the beach for an optional ocean plunge with anyone who wants to join.

Thank you for being part of this. Together, we can train with purpose and make a meaningful impact.
