our impact

Every day, REORG helps serving military personnel, veterans and emergency service workers improve their mental, physical and social wellbeing through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and community.

Through our UK-wide network of partner academies, structured support programmes and community events, we help people build confidence, improve their wellbeing and find a sense of belonging.

BACKED BY RESEARCH:

These findings provide independent evidence of the positive impact that REORG's programmes can have on participants.

Read the Research Paper

Scores show mean baseline (Day 0) and endpoint (Day 60) results across REORG's 60-day BJJ and CrossFit programmes, plotted on each questionnaire's full scale (n=60; n=40 for sleep quality). Scales are oriented so that improvement always reads left-to-right. Channon, Morgan, Huber & Higbed (2025), University of Brighton.

Anxiety 8.58 → 4.40
More Severe Better
Depression 9.78 → 4.58
More Severe Better
PTSD Symptoms 28.97 → 14.53
More Severe Better
Sleep Quality 10.05 → 6.58
More Disturbed Better
Overall Wellbeing 39.40 → 50.97
Lower Wellbeing Better

MORE THAN A MARTIAL ART.

For many beneficiaries, REORG provides far more than access to training. Participants consistently tell us that three elements make the biggest difference:

Community

Reducing isolation and creating lasting connections with like-minded people.

Challenge

Providing a healthy outlet for stress and a positive focus outside work.

Purpose

Building confidence, resilience and a sense of achievement.

Real Stories

Behind every statistic is a person whose life has been changed through REORG.

If it wasn't for jiu-jitsu and for REORG, I honestly don't know if my kids would even have a father.
