Our Mission

Our mission is to empower underserved youth in Los Angeles by providing access to free Jiu-Jitsu training, referral to mental health services, education and nutritious meals. We are dedicated to fostering resilience, building confidence, and promoting holistic well-being in our community. Through physical, mental, and emotional support, we aim to create a positive environment where youth can grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.

Our Vision

We aim to create a supportive environment where every child, regardless of gender, economic status or ability has an opportunity to grow and thrive both on and off the mats.

Community Impact

Our program creates a ripple effect throughout families and neighborhoods in South Los Angeles. As students grow in confidence and discipline, families gain support, and communities benefit from engaged, motivated young people who are better equipped to make positive choices and pursue meaningful opportunities.

Initiatives

We focus on physical health, mental well-being, nutrition and educational support.

Fitness

Jiu-Jitsu

We promote physical health through structured martial arts training, conditioning, and movement-based activities. Our wellness and fitness initiative helps students build strength, discipline, and confidence while encouraging lifelong healthy habits.

Wellness

Mental Health

Our mental health initiative focuses on emotional well-being, resilience, and self-awareness. Through mentorship, mindfulness practices, and supportive community connections, we give young people the tools to manage stress, express themselves, and build a strong sense of identity.

Education

Learning Support

Our education initiative supports academic success by fostering curiosity, discipline, and a commitment to learning. We offer tutoring support, enrichment activities, and goal-setting guidance to help students thrive in school and develop the skills they need for future opportunities.

Nutrition

Enrichment through Nourishment

We provide guidance and education that help students and families make informed, sustainable nutrition choices. From healthy snacks to hands-on learning about fueling the body, this initiative empowers youth to understand how nutrition supports performance, focus, and overall wellness.
