We provide combat veterans coping with military connected disabilities a long term means to overcome their challenges through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and fitness training.

Every day, We Defy scholarship athletes are simply proving everyone wrong when they take to the mats. Your support allows us to continue our mission of providing therapeutic healing through the sport of Jiu Jitsu.

Join one of our teams and create your own personal page to tell your story. Funds that you raise will "roll up" to the team total. Donate $50 or more and you can get a limited edition We Defy Foundation event t-shirt while supplies last (U.S Shipping Only). Earn your Carry The Load - Load Carrier shirt by raising $200 or more!

Together we can honor and celebrate the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes — military, veterans, first responders and their families. Remember, honor, and celebrate our nation's heroes by participating in the event and raising funds to support organizations which help heroes and their families.
