Blue & Green Team - BJJ Program In Honor of Sam Chhoeng

Mission – Purpose – Team

The Blue and Green Team BJJ Initiative is a sponsorship-based program designed to place law enforcement and veterans into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training at no cost. This is not a free program. It is a sponsored commitment built on discipline, consistency, and accountability. This program is dedicated to the legacy of Sam “Sis” Chheong, a combat veteran, Purple Heart recipient, federal agent, and BJJ black belt who led through action and invested in others. His standard of training and service defines what is expected from those selected. Completion of this application does not guarantee acceptance. Selection is based on program fit, commitment potential, and available capacity.
