OGA BJJ

A tribute design to our team and a replica mural of one of our first Afghan BJJ clubs (which would later fall to the Taliban). During a time when the gym was all we had to get by during those long deployments, we turned to grappling to bond and burn off the stress. During the many years spent in that theater, we had a habit of commandeering any yoga room we could find at US facilities and turning them into a hasty dojo (against the permission of the brass). Like a band of BJJ pirates with barely enough color on our belts to form a dirty white, we spent our evenings scrapping, with little hope at getting better without the occasional purple or brown belt rotating on to the team, we got in sloppy reps and left our sweat, blood, and our brand on the walls of various compounds. Proceeds of our contact series help us give back to the Veteran community by donating to causes providing combat veterans coping with military connected disabilities a way to cope through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu…..
