Preserving Our Legacy while Empowering Our Community
Community Heroes
At Legacy BJJ Omaha, we believe the selfless dedication of community heroes sets an inspiring example for the next generation of martial artists, and we take pride in giving back to those who serve our community. Embracing the values of service and individual achievement for the benefit of others is the essence of this program, and we hope to instill these same principles in all of our students.
Our qualified Community Heroes—active duty and retired police officers, firefighters, and military service members—are welcome to attend free weekly training sessions at our academy. These members-only sessions address specific challenges faced by our Community Heroes in a supportive and understanding environment.
Simply sign a waiver, register as a member of the Legacy Community Heroes program, and you’re ready to start training with us at no cost. As part of this program, we will request a $5.00 monthly gift to be given to the charity that you and the rest of the team select. This is our way of saying thank you for your service and your unwavering commitment to making our community a better place.
If you’re a Community Hero, please join us. We would be honored to have you as a part of the Legacy BJJ family.
