Sponsor a social project and help transform lives through jiu-jitsu.
We define a tribe as a group or community with similar values or interests. Jiu-jitsu academies exemplify this concept, and we believe the world could be a better place if more people trained in jiu-jitsu.
Interested vs. committed.
There is a difference between being interested and being committed. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.
We are looking for sponsors who are willing to commit to a minimum 12-month sponsorship period. This sustained commitment ensures that the programs we support can plan ahead, build trust with their communities, and create lasting change rather than temporary relief.
Your sponsorship directly funds the mats, uniforms, facilities, mentorship, and operational costs that keep these projects running and growing. Every dollar goes toward the mission of using jiu-jitsu to inspire, impact, and improve the lives of at-risk youth.
"It's not about you; it's about others."
This belief, shared by Eduardo Oliveira of Projeto Gaditas, captures the spirit of every project we support. Each sponsor becomes part of something larger than themselves.
Active social projects available for adoption.
Each project is led by local community leaders who understand the realities their students face. Your sponsorship keeps these programs sustainable.
