A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Social Project in
Philadelphia, PA
The Palma Project
About Us
The Palma Project Incorporated is a nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Our primary vehicle is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. By obtaining gym memberships for our high school aged students, acquired through charitable donations, we are able to use the physical activity of Jiu Jitsu, to release the negative energy that builds up in our day-to-day lives, so we can use strong and positive energy for decision-making. Secondary to Jiu Jitsu are a series of seminars which address soft skills we believe lead to our youth’s ability to succeed in today’s society.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
