Ones Ready Ep 229: Empowering Veterans Through Jiu-Jitsu and Brotherhood: The Journey of Jarek Fry and the Veteran Bushido Brotherhood
After answering a calling to join the United States Marines in the heat of the Global War on Terror, Jeric Fry embarked on an unreal journey. From his deployments to the most active combat zones our generation have seen to his experience leading one of the most prestigious institutions in the military, his career was nothing short of exceptional.
However, he found himself lost when he decided to step away from the military and reenter civilian life. Jeric realized that he had no direction, no sense of purpose and no calling. That's what led him to Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Through another equally remarkable set of circumstances, Jeric found himself with a new calling- to find a tribe for every single veteran. A way for them to be included, a place for them to find themselves again, and this was the beginning of the Veteran Bushido Brotherhood.
