We Defy Foundation at Ground Rules Academy
Ground Rules Academy Joins Forces with the We Defy Foundation as an Official Training Facility
We're pleased to announce that Ground Rules Academy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has officially become a We Defy Foundation Training Facility! This partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey to empower people through the transformative power of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). As a community dedicated to personal growth and resilience, we're honored to align with an organization that shares our values and a passion for supporting those who've served.
A Shared Mission: Defying Limits Through Jiu Jitsu
At its core, the We Defy Foundation is committed to helping veterans overcome physical and mental challenges by providing access to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training. Founded on the belief that BJJ fosters discipline, confidence, and camaraderie, We Defy equips participants with tools to rebuild strength, process trauma, and reclaim their sense of purpose. Their programs emphasize a holistic approach—blending on-the-mat instruction with off-the-mat support—to create lasting positive change. To learn more about their inspiring work, visit www.wedefyfoundation.org.
This partnership resonates deeply with Ground Rules Academy's motivation to give back to veterans by offering BJJ education as a pathway to personal growth in a safe, supportive environment. From day one, we've seen how the gentle art builds not just technical skills, but unbreakable mental fortitude. Whether it's conquering self-doubt on the mats or forging lifelong bonds with fellow practitioners, BJJ is our way of saying "thank you" to those who've sacrificed so much.
