Join us this Veterans Day weekend for a special in-house seminar with Ryron Gracie and Alex Stuart, a veteran and Gracie University instructor, in support of the We Defy Foundation. The seminar is open to Gracie University Headquarters students.

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

This Veterans Day, we’re coming together to honor the men and women who served, and to give back to them.

On average, it costs $2,500 to fund a full year of training for one veteran at a We Defy verified school. Every donation, big or small, helps make that possible.

How You Can Participate

• Train: Join us on the mats for a special Veterans Day seminar. It’s open to all levels, ages 13 and up. No-Gi attire.
• Donate (optional): Donating isn’t required to attend. If you’d like to give, a suggested donation of $25 (or any amount) through this page helps us support the We Defy Foundation.

Thank you for being part of this. Together, we can honor those who served and help more veterans find their way to the mats.
