Grapplethon in collaboration with LA Jiu-jitsu/ Ribeiro JJ brings to you the first installment of the Inter Club Saturday Charity Workout Session. Inspired and brought to life by the popular event known as Grapplethon and the Monta Monday classes, "Inter Club Workout" is a unique experience which allows it participants to experience a great workout session while showcasing their support providing assistance to someone going through burden hardships such as a serious injury, terminal disease, death, and other life crisis.
Thanks in part to the many supporters over the past three years these charity gatherings have been a major success on many fronts which have showcased unity ,camaraderie, and support for our Grapplethon Star recipients.
What is the Inter Club Charity Workout Session: The charity workout session is hybrid combo of a routine fitness/drill class along with the core Grapplethon style of endless rounds training together. The concept behind this idea is to train to the best of our ability while showing support to the Grapplethon Star who is fighting the battle of his/her life.
Event Structure is as follow
· 45 minute combination of drilling, cardio, and live position exercises.
· 2 Hour sparring session or until everyone leaves

What is the Cause: The first installment of these Workout sessions we
will be showing support our BJJ brother from Port City BJJ Daniel Dion.
Dan's Story: “ In June 2015, Danny, a 21 year old Hampton resident, was diagnosed
with testicular cancer. He bravely underwent surgery to remove the cancer
and has been followed closely by Dana Faber Institute. Unfortunately, in
December, Danny was told that the cancer has spread to his lung and he will
undergo nine weeks of intensive chemotherapy. Danny has been
working hard throughout his final year at UNH, as an economics major, with the
ultimate goal to attend law school this fall. In addition to his studies,
he works as a legal intern to pay his way through his mounting medical
bills. In his spare time, he practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu and in
November he earned his purple belt.”
Danny's friends and family are hoping to raise money to ease the burden of his medical bills.

Raffle Prize: Raffles Gifts will not
be a major focus at the Charity Workout sessions. However three
raffle gifts will be given away during this event.
In-Door entry Gift: (1)
water / on the go towels
Big 300 Challenge: Although this is a charity workout session
it seems as though Grapplethon rules are still a major influence that has made
its way into this event. As most of you remember from past Grapplethon events
we have all completed a certain amount of rolling/training to get extra money
for the Grapplethon star. This event will be no different as we will be working
together to helping Dan receive extra money by our secret Grapplethon sponsor.
Note: there may even be some new twists since this
event is part workout/rolling session so stay tuned.
