16: Jon Tanner

Send us Fan MailJon and I spent some time joking around and talking about when we trained together at North Coast Jiu Jitsu. In early 2020 he moved out of state but kept training and making jiu jitsu a significant part of his life. He now trains out of Alliance Atlanta and has some great stories to tell us about training, competition, and how jiu jitsu has helped him personally. Jon is also a volunteer with the We Defy Foundation, which provides combat veterans coping with military connected disabilities a long term means to overcome their challenges through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and fitness training. If you have time, check out the website at www.wedefyfoundation.org and consider donating to their worthy cause.
