Welcome to the Team!!! TMC Brazuca USA 🇺🇸⚡️

TMC Brazuca USA Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is proud to be the newest approved training facility for the We Defy Foundation.
Our main goal has always been to have an academy for anyone and everyone to gather, train hard, and overcome obstacles on and off the mats. Regardless of the type of person, where they come from, religion or politics, here you all can find a ‘home’ and a mission for your journey.
We Defy Foundation reassures our goal, they help disabled combat veterans begin a journey within the Jiu-Jitsu community upon life after the service. They provide one year of paid jiu-jitsu training and two training Gls to get you started! If you or someone you know is interested in pursuing this opportunity, please reach out to us or visit their website! (www.wedefyfoundation.org).
It is an honor to be part of the selected approved academies.
