Join BETA Academy for our fifth annual 12-hour grappling extravaganza!

On 4 November 2017, we will be rolling to support This Able Veteran, a non-profit that produces reliable PTSD service dogs and helps veterans with an effective partnership-building training program, to include a Trauma Resiliency Course.

As always, all grapplers are welcome regardless of skill, rank, age, or affiliation.

There is no minimum donation, but anyone who donates $50 or more will receive a limited edition t-shirt commemorating the event! All proceeds will go to support This Able Veteran's mission.

In a change from last year, we have streamlined our registration and fundraising process through a new platform. Donate here and make sure you secure your t-shirt early--you know we always run out! Interested in getting your friends and family in on the fun? Email me at [email protected] and I will add you as a team member.

Here's how it works: You already know! But just in case you're new to the game... we will have at least one pair of grapplers on the mat at all times for the entire event. (Remember the dance-a-thons of yore? Well, this is like that, but with chokes and armbars.) There is no minimum requirement to roll -- you can join us for 12 minutes or 12 hours! All skill levels are welcome. Think of it as a big, friendly open mat. There will be prizes to raffle off for our fundraisers and participants!

Want to help but can't participate? No problem! You can donate here; any amount is appreciated.

The fine print: Anyone under the age of 18 must have signed consent of a parent/guardian to participate. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
