On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, from noon to 2 PM, our academy at 40 Jackson Street in Methuen is hosting a Veterans Day Brazilian jiu-jitsu benefit for the We Defy Foundation. We Defy helps combat veterans living with military-connected disabilities access Brazilian jiu-jitsu training and a supportive community. Professors Anderson Silverio (Team Forsa), Michael Zenga (BJJ Fanatics), and Daniel Gazoni (BTT Boston) are featured instructors. Our fundraising goal is $2,500.

Everyone is invited to support the cause—including veterans, families, beginners and practitioners from ALL martial arts schools. Donations and sharing the invitation are welcome even from people who cannot attend.
