Supporting Our Beloved BJJ Professor's Family

Our community is heartbroken to share that our respected and cherished BJJ professor, Rene Karamanites, is facing an unexpected and difficult challenge. This morning, Rene was detained by ICE.

Professor Rene is more than just an instructor, he is a mentor, friend, and vital part of our BJJ family. His dedication to us, both on and off the mats, is unwavering. Now, it's our turn to support him during this incredibly stressful time.

We are establishing this GoFundMe to provide immediate assistance for crucial needs:

Every donation, no matter the size, is a hug of support and a crucial step toward alleviating the immense burden on our professor and his family. Please help us lift him and his partner, Sarah up. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
