#submitthestigma

100% of the proceeds of this seminar will be donated to #submitthestigma, an organization founded by Erin Herle that utilizes Jiu-Jitsu as a platform to spread awareness of mental illness, importance of mental health, and suicide prevention.

The first day of the seminar will be $75 and the second day will be $60. Don’t forget that this is a charity event, so additional donations can be made! This is a great way to learn some amazing competition-tested Jiu-Jitsu from incredible instructors while also supporting an important cause and organization.
