CHRISTMAS POTLUCK PARTY

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

VETERAN'S DAY OPEN MAT FUNDRAISER

THE COST OF ONE SCHOLARSHIP FOR A DISABLED VET TO TRAIN JIU-JITSU FOR A YEAR IS $2,500.

WITH YOUR HELP, WE RAISED ENOUGH FOR THREE JIU-JITSU SCHOLARSHIPS FOR OUR COMBAT VETS!

THAT MEANS WE RAISED A TOTAL OF $7,500!

To say we are GRATEFUL never seems like enough, but we'd still like to thank everyone who donated to this worthy cause! ESPECIALLY...
