WHY REORG

THE PROBLEM

The challenges of frontline duty can leave military personnel and first responders facing severe mental and physical difficulties. Problems often get worse once they leave the service and no longer have the camaraderie and support of colleagues.

THE SOLUTION

Practicing juijitsu and/or functional fitness can make a massive difference in so many different ways. It gives a healthy outlet for your energy and gets you training with a group of people like-minded who are focused on the same goal. This small step can be a life saver.
