CHANGING HEARTS. CHANGING MINDS. CHANGING LIVES.
OUR
STORY
In 2014, BRAUS Fight, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu attire brand was born. To the naked eye of the industry and it’s followers, the brand was conceived with the purpose of growing the sport and providing high quality, reliable, modern gear to train and compete in.
THIS WAS NEVER THE ONLY PURPOSE.
The brand established itself comfortably in the market place before introducing it’s primary purpose of setting out to create a better tomorrow for the world by changing lives. It was, since conception, the plan to leverage the success of BRAUS Fights exposure for the greater good of the world in the form of a not-for-profit which aspires to create an equal minimum standard for heath & wellbeing, education & opportunity globally.
PUT SIMPLY, TO TOUCH HEARTS AND CHANGE LIVES.
The community based Rolling 4 A Reason initiative was the original gateway of BRAUS Fights social projects aiming to make a difference in the community. The engagement of the community surpassed expectation and suddenly the ability to think bigger had arrived.
2022, BRAUS Foundation WAS BORN.
Locally established branches are built to fund localised projects across a broad spectrum, well into the future. We are here to stay with a vision to Change Lives at the fore front of everything we do whilst remaining a respectable, recognisable, transparent, not-for-profit. Our vision is broad and our impact will be wide.
