Braulio Estima is one of the many athletes who’ve recently finished the 24-hour Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu rolling challenge; the so-called “Rollathon” which was organized by the Reorg organization and which already managed to raise over $663,500 USD – with an aim of supporting veterans.
In short, Reorg is an organization that helps veterans that struggle with life-altering injuries and trauma overcome their challenges through learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJEE previously reported on Mark Ormrod, a BJJ blue belt, military veteran, and triple-amputee who completed the challenge… And one of the best Jiu-Jitsu athletes in history, Braulio Estima, has done the same!
Estima first explained what the purpose behind the challenge was and what it means to him:
It’s incredible to see all the support online but also first hand at the academies supporting our REORG Rollathon.
Here with our official REORG ambassador @braulioestima and his students at @gb_birmingham Thank you all for your support of our REORG mission and community.
