Compete. Fundraise. Give Hope.

For years, the students, families, and coaches of Embrace Martial Arts in Wake Forest and Youngsville have come together for something bigger than competition. Through Tap Cancer Out, our academy has raised more than $53,000 in the fight against cancer, with 262 competitors proudly representing Team Embrace on the mats.

On Saturday, September 5, Team Embrace will once again travel to Raleigh to compete in the Tap Cancer Out Raleigh BJJ Open. While our athletes will be chasing victories on the mats, our true mission is much greater—to raise critical funds and awareness for individuals and families impacted by cancer.

Whether you’re a student from our Wake Forest academy or our Youngsville academy, we invite every member of the Embrace family to be part of this incredible event.
