Rucking & Rolling for We Defy

As both a veteran and a Jiu-Jitsu professor, We Defy's mission hits close to home for me. I've seen firsthand what Jiu-Jitsu can provide beyond the physical training — purpose, challenge, camaraderie, and a community that has your back. I'm proud that Gracie Barra Hannibal is a We Defy Academy, helping make Jiu-Jitsu accessible to veterans in our community.

Help Me Put Veterans on the Mats

Every donation to my Ruck & Roll fundraiser supports the We Defy Foundation and its mission to improve the lives of military veterans through Jiu-Jitsu.

We Defy provides qualified veterans with scholarships that cover training at affiliated Jiu-Jitsu academies, giving them access to more than just martial arts — they gain a challenging outlet, a supportive community, and the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team again.

Gracie Barra Hannibal is proud to be a We Defy Academy, and on November 22 we'll be putting that mission into action with our own Hannibal, MO Ruck & Roll.

Want to support my Ruck & Roll?

Click the Store button and make a $50 donation to receive an official Ruck & Roll T-shirt and GORUCK patch to remember the event.

If you'd prefer to donate a different amount, select Donate Now instead. Every contribution — big or small — helps We Defy put more veterans on the mats.

And if you're local, come join us November 22! Ruck, roll, or do both. You don't have to be a Gracie Barra Hannibal member to participate.
