WE DEFY FOUNDATION

The We Defy Foundation Scholarship is an initiative designed to support and empower military veterans who are transitioning into civilian life by providing them with opportunities to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). The scholarship is part of the broader mission of the We Defy Foundation, which seeks to help veterans overcome physical and mental health challenges, including PTSD, through the discipline and community of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Founded in 2016, the We Defy Foundation recognizes the powerful impact that BJJ can have on the lives of veterans. The foundation offers full and partial scholarships to veterans, covering the costs of BJJ training, including tuition and sometimes even gear. By providing these resources, the foundation aims to help veterans build confidence, improve their mental health, and create lasting connections in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

The We Defy Foundation Scholarship is a life-changing opportunity for veterans, helping them reclaim a sense of purpose and direction while improving their mental and physical health. It also strengthens the bond between the BJJ community and military veterans, offering a platform for service members to continue their journey of personal growth in a supportive, positive environment.
