Our Veterans (Active, DV, Ret)

About the Course

At Cat5 Jiu-Jitsu Association, we proudly serve and stand beside our nation’s heroes; active duty service members, veterans, and disabled veterans; by offering more than just martial arts training. We provide a purpose-driven community rooted in discipline, mutual respect, and brotherhood. Many of us know firsthand the challenges that come with transitioning out of the military, the struggle to rediscover identity, and the search for a mission beyond the uniform. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gives that back. It provides a structured path forward where every class, every roll, and every breakthrough on the mat contributes to a renewed sense of purpose, progress, and personal strength.


The bonds formed through Jiu-Jitsu reflect the camaraderie found in military service: teammates depending on each other, pushing through adversity, and lifting one another up. At Cat5, we’ve built a community where veterans and active duty members can reconnect with that shared brotherhood while focusing on physical fitness, mental resilience, and spiritual well-being. Training offers a powerful outlet for stress, a safe space to heal, and an environment where progress is visible and tangible. Whether overcoming injuries, adjusting to civilian life, or simply needing a place to belong; Jiu-Jitsu becomes more than a martial art; it becomes a lifeline. Here, you're not just a student, you’re family, and you’ll never face your battles alone.
