Gi donations
I actually posted gi exchange in another thread. However, here's the story. I have 11 students who are begging for instruction but simply can't spare a dime. I personally know each one as well as their family. Times are hard all over but Tennessee has always been a very poor area. The unemployment rate is massive and work opportunities turn slave wages. I'm teaching for free because I feel the way Jeremy Arel does about jiu jitsu and its benefits. It should be available to all. It literally saved my life and I want to help others do the same. This is why I named my style Veritas Aequitas, Truth and Justice for all. Jiu jitsu shouldn't only be available to those who are able to pay the high rates here.
This brings me to the gi donation part. We all have them. I have some that haven't seen daylight in a decade. We rarely get rid of them and they could certainly help a ton of folks. I teach both gi and no gi so that people can gravitate towards what best suits them. The entire realm of jiu jitsu I say. Anyways, children here could benefit immensly from donated gi's. I was even thinking of having contact between the individuals so that they could carry on as "training partners". What thoughts do you guys have?

Hopefully I'll have everything set up this weekend. Thank you guys! I'll have an address set up as soon as possible. I'll post pics of those you have helped in action. Any further ideas on how to expand this statewide? Nationwide sounds nice but worldwide is my goal. 10th Planet and Veritas Aequitas roll wide!

You're doing a great thing Tony. One of the people you're helping may be saved as you have been because of your efforts.

Thank you all so much! I've found that my 10th Planet brothers have stepped up and truly make me proud. I tried to launch this before locally and not a single "high fee" school or individual responded. Even my close friends haven't offered their support like you guys. I thank you all for being a huge part of our jiu jitsu family. You won't be dissapointed. Please remember to include your contact information (FB, email, only what you're comfortable giving) and I'll make sure each donation is matched with their "training partner". Each and everyone of you are welcome on our mats 24/7 365!
