UH 104 -We Defy Foundation New Member Guide

This is a special episode of the podcast. Today I sat down with Ryan Cohen the Athlete Engagement Manager for the We Defy Foundation in the Midwest & Rocky Mountain Regions. The We Defy Foundation is a foundation started to help disabled combat veterans get started in Jiu Jitsu all around the United States. We Defy has given out over 600 athlete scholarships, there are over 500 affiliate gyms across 45 states.

 

On this episode Ryan and I list out some of the beginner's information a new member starting with the We Defy Foundation will need to know before starting Jiu Jitsu. We covered lots of good information for someone new to Jiu Jitsu from how to select a gym, how fit you need to be to start and some general etiquette to follow to be respectful to your teammates and instructors.
