Five Rings Jiu Jitsu will be hosting a Charity Silent Auction and Raffle on February 3, 2018. All proceeds will go to The Dougy Center. Please help us help them!

Annual Charity Auction/Grapple-A-Thon

 

Five Rings Jiu Jitsu is proud to announce our 2018 Anniversary Charity Auction/Grapple-A-Thon.  Our mission is to inspire health, wellness, and growth in our members and our community through grappling, fitness, and service.  Due to the success of our summer grapple-a-thon fundraiser, we have added that component to our anniversary party events.  This offers another way for people to contribute and have fun!

 

Understanding The Dougy Center - What they do and how the positively affect children    VIDEO 1          VIDEO 2

 

On February 2, 2018  grapplers and their supporters will gather at our main academy to raise money for our charity partner – The Dougy Center.  On February 3rd, 2018 we will hold our silent auction to raise additional funds during our anniversary celebration.

The Dougy Center serves 500 children and their 350 adult family members each month. Their 68, open-ended peer support groups meet every other week and are divided by age, type of death (illness, sudden death, murder, suicide) and who died (parent, sibling). The concurrent adult support groups meet at the same time for the caregiver of the child or teen who is attending group. Since their founding, The Dougy Center has served over 40,000 children, teens and their families and has received national and international acclaim for their pioneering peer support model for helping children cope with the death of a family member. Through their National Training Program and training materials, thousands have learned how to help grieving children and more than 500 programs modeled after The Dougy Center have been established worldwide.

This event is your chance to contribute to the success of their program.

I have done nothing but lose since joining Five Rings- as in lost 6 inches off my waist and nearly 40 lbs off my gut. I started with Five Rings a year and a half ago as a 43 year old, out of shape, frustrated ex-athlete and it has been an incredible journey for me since. The Professors and coaches create a great atmosphere whether you are in it for fitness or "joy-jitsu" or looking to compete and excel. I cannot recommend Five Rings enough!

I once heard an analogy that if one inadvertently falls into water, their go-to would be to swim or to float to survive, if - they knew how. Likewise if someone takes you to the ground against your will, knowing BJJ is just what may save you. So with that, I like the thought of maybe one day that my daughters can get themselves out of a situation by having that skill. Whether 5 years from now or 20, because they were able to swim to safety or thwarted an attack by knowing how to defend themself that took just seconds to execute, all these hours driving them to swim & BJJ class will all be worth it. As for myself, I joined Five Rings when I enrolled my kiddo earlier this year.  It was a why-the-heck-not moment. :)  So here I am seven months into training at 48 years old, my only regret is why I didn't start sooner.  It's tough on the body, but I've never felt more fit in my life and is mad rewarding. Especially with seeing my progress from just a few months ago, it's exciting to know you only get better. I love the academy and the familial feel of the large group of regulars here who are loyal, train hard, and enjoy doing it. So on this Thanksgiving, a big thanks to all the 5RJJ professors & coaches & training partners!  You guys truly make me better after each class & open mat.

The environment at 5rings is one that promotes a positive learning culture. As an owner of another martial arts school in the area, I've seen a lot of different schools and methods for teaching - and by far, 5rings does an amazing job. I highly recommend for adults and children of all skill levels. Keep up the great work 5rings!
