It’s only been days since Keaton Jones posted an emotional video about his experiences getting bullied at school, and the martial arts community has responded in droves.
UFC President Dana White, not known for his sensitivity, was so moved by Jones’ video that he personally invited the teenager to UFC headquarters.
Later, UFC fighters responded to Keaton’s video.
Now, Rener Gracie of Gracie University wants to fly Keaton to California in order for the young man to personally take part in his bully proof seminar.

The only true solution to bullying is to inspire our youth to have respect and compassion for one another, and this begins with the parents. Until this culture shift happens, we need to empower kids with the verbal skills and the non-violent self-defense techniques to take a stand and set boundaries with potential bullies. We have all the tools to help Keaton and we want to sponsor him and his family to come to California for one week of Gracie Bullyproof training. If anyone has contact with Keaton’s family, please forward this video and have them contact us at info@gracieuniversity.com
