00:07.142 --> 00:09.220
- [Adam James] A Ronin is a Samurai with no master.

00:09.220 --> 00:12.090
So, it's a warrior that has lost his ways,

00:12.090 --> 00:13.230
kind of wandering around.

00:13.230 --> 00:14.220
Needs guidance.

00:14.250 --> 00:15.550
Needs some push.

00:15.550 --> 00:16.761
Needs some outlet in his life.

00:16.761 --> 00:18.014
- [Male Coach] You've got it, you've got it.

00:18.014 --> 00:18.847
Keep fighting it.

00:18.847 --> 00:19.728
Switch your hips.

00:19.900 --> 00:22.190
- So the Ronin Foundation is a foundation for

00:22.190 --> 00:23.790
active-duty Military and Iwakuni

00:23.950 --> 00:27.750
that's having problems with PTSD, stress, alcoholism.

00:28.340 --> 00:31.120
Victims of sexual assault, sexual abuse.

00:31.120 --> 00:33.880
And we take them and provide them a environment

00:34.090 --> 00:35.690
and train them in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

00:35.690 --> 00:37.690
We pay for the three months of training,

00:37.780 --> 00:39.500
and then at the end of it we also give them a Gi.

00:39.500 --> 00:40.990
Which is a uniform for them to use,

00:40.990 --> 00:42.340
and continue to train with.

00:42.458 --> 00:43.875
- [Trainer] Here.

00:44.070 --> 00:45.830
- [Adam James] It's important to me because

00:45.830 --> 00:48.900
it takes the stresses from the Marines and the Sailors,

00:48.900 --> 00:51.380
any active-duty on base, and it gives them an outlet.

00:51.380 --> 00:54.400
It gives them another opportunity to get rid of stress.

00:54.400 --> 00:55.410
And to deal with issues.

00:55.410 --> 00:57.550
Some don't wanna go talk to the Chaplain.

00:57.550 --> 01:00.910
Some don't wanna go to the clinic and say,

01:00.910 --> 01:02.740
"I'm depressed. I'm having issues."

01:02.800 --> 01:03.910
This is just one place to go.

01:03.910 --> 01:04.850
It's all anonymous.

01:04.850 --> 01:07.510
Once they go train nobody knows why they're training.

01:07.660 --> 01:08.840
It's helped a lot of people out,

01:08.840 --> 01:10.860
in getting out of that dark place that they have.

01:10.860 --> 01:11.900
They've given them something to do.

01:11.900 --> 01:13.020
Something to look forward to.

01:13.020 --> 01:15.470
An outlet for their life to get rid of stress and

01:15.660 --> 01:17.020
other stuff that they need to get out.

01:17.020 --> 01:18.590
And that's kinda what we try to provide

01:18.590 --> 01:19.890
from the Ronin Foundation.

01:20.185 --> 01:22.636
(upbeat jingle)
