Academy Impact

Since 2012, academies across the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community have played an essential role in Tap Cancer Out’s mission, rallying their teams to fundraise, compete, and fight for those in the fight of their lives. This page recognizes the academies that have raised $10,000 or more over their lifetime in support of Tap Cancer Out and our beneficiary organizations. Their dedication, generosity, and leadership continue to make a lasting impact, and we are proud to celebrate where they rank among the most impactful academies in our community.

I don’t grapple. Can I still help?

You don’t have to be a grappler to help. As long as you’re dedicated to finding a cure for cancer, we want you on our team. So slap on your favorite submission hold and let’s force cancer to tap out, once and for all.

Thank you so much for your support.

“Tap Out: A combat sports term for yielding to the opponent, and hence resulting in an immediate defeat.“
