Helping Kristian Overcome his Medical Battle

Kristian’s Story

To those fortunate enough to know him, Kristian Riegler is more than just a name. He is the embodiment of dedication, passion, and heart. As a highly dedicated jiujitsu instructor, he has deeply impacted countless students, guiding them not just in the discipline of jiujitsu, but also in life's invaluable lessons.
On October 21st, 2023, in a twist of fate that shocked us all, Kristian suffered a potent heart attack. And it happened right where his heart truly belongs: on the mats, rolling with his students and friends, doing what he loves most. Now, as he bravely battles to regain his health, Kristian, along with his wife and soulmate, Trina—who is heartbreakingly grappling with this unexpected tragedy—needs the support of each one of us, as well as the collective strength of the entire jiujitsu community.
His life has been a testament to selflessness, boundless care, and generosity. Now is our moment to rally behind him and Trina, to give back to a couple who have poured so much into others.
