I represent We Defy foundation

I’m an ambassador and it can be a struggle getting anyone to start Jiu Jitsu. Finding someone willing with an 80% or higher combat related disability is a whole other ballgame.

I represent We Defy foundation, as the incoming Maryland coordinator. But this message applies for all over. We provide combat veterans coping with military connected disabilities a long term means to overcome their challenges through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and fitness training. Apply today for a BJJ “scholarship” ! KEY METRICS Over 800k RAISED IN 2022 Over 780 ATHLETE SCHOLARSHIPS Over 600 AFFILIATE GYMS 46 STATES, 2 US TERRITORIES, AND JAPAN. *$0.82 of every dollar are program expenses https://wedefyfoundation.org/

This program is awesome, I had a my scholarship couple years ago and than covid hit....after all that crap was over I was able to finish it off. I had thought about trying to be an ambassador but I was too busy with life. Now would you happen to know of why the scholarships are only for 80% or higher veterans?? I've met some vets that are not that high in percentage but definitely need some jiu-jitsu ass whipping in their lives.

Someone from WeDefy came through our school (Scott Devine's in Brunswick) earlier in the year but I did not get to meet or train with them. Mat, was that you, by chance? I'm still hoping that Scott will get his association affiliated with your awesome efforts.

Awesome program for the vets, trying to get my school affiliated. One obstacle, I'm a brown Belt school owner lol.

I finally sent out the last form to TJ Kreutzer, I've been sitting on it for awhile. Reading this thread gave me the push I needed. Thank you Anthony.

Professor Nelson, My academy recently signed up as an ambassador and we are doing our first Open Mat to raise funds on Nov 11th.

I am an ambassador and athlete mentor for We Defy as well. I am in the Greater Tampa area. I am also affiliated with a veterans non-profit in the area that gives help to veterans called SOF Missions. They have invited me to speak at the last 3 clinics allowing me to share We Defy with the disabled veterans that are attending the clinics. Are you Going to the Gala?

Does anyone know if there is a similar organization or group in Canada?

I don't think so, but you could talk to We Defy and apply for a location in Canada. see what they say
