Veterans Breakthrough: Fall 2026 No-Gi Jiu Jitsu Tournament Fundraiser
Organized by Veterans Breakthrough
Mesa, AZ hosts the Veterans Breakthrough Fall 2026 No-Gi Jiu Jitsu Tournament Fundraiser on November 7, 2026. The no-gi event combines competitive grappling with fundraising to support military veterans.
Event Description
Veterans Breakthrough is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that uses Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to support military veterans transitioning out of service, and this no-gi tournament is its main fall fundraiser. Proceeds fund a scholarship program that covers a full year of BJJ membership for veterans who've never trained before, helping them work through the challenges -- including PTSD and loss of purpose -- that often come with leaving the military. The event is open to everyone, not just veterans. The tournament takes place November 7, 2026, in Mesa, AZ, no-gi only, with divisions for all skill levels. Every entry supports the nonprofit's veteran scholarship fund. Registration is through the event's Smoothcomp page or veteransbreakthrough.org, both linked on Let's Roll.
