6 Months Later: How to Be a Force For Good in Grappling and in the World | Breaking Muscle

Orignaltext:

If living a principled life is as important to you as it is to me, read on for inspiration. And bear in mind that this sampling of efforts is by no means exhaustive. Feel free to post additional information to comments.
 
Grapplers Liz Sussan, Maggie Ghamry, Lana Hunter, and Brittany Senter put their heads together to design a gi patch, the proceeds of which go to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN). NHB Gear and Da Firma Kimonos donated the patches, which are available for purchase here.
 
Blogger Can Sonmez, known in the grappling community as Slideyfoot, recently hosted a grapplethon to support the work of RapeCrisis, a United Kingdom-based organization.
 
Australian Girls in Gi is hosting an event to support White Ribbon, “Australia’s campaign to stop violence against women.”
 
Mixed Martial World is a website run by grapplers whose mission is “to bring back and continue to support the positivity, knowledge, moral responsibility, strength, honor, and integrity that martial arts stem from.”
 
An Open Letter to the Martial Arts Community is a missive grappler Ryan Hall wrote in the aftermath of the events. Part autobiography and part call to action, it gave grapplers everywhere the language to explain and understand the responsibility of the individual practitioner.
