Combat For Change

Combat for Change: Empowering Communities Through Combat Sports

Combat for Change is a groundbreaking initiative under Reserve The Blue designed to bring together law enforcement, community members, and athletes in the spirit of accountability, reform, and positive engagement. Through a series of combat sports events, Combat for Change aims to break down barriers, promote mutual understanding, and create safe spaces where individuals from all backgrounds can unite in pursuit of shared goals.

What is Combat for Change?

Combat for Change is a unique initiative that integrates combat sports with the broader goal of promoting community-police relations and criminal justice reform. Through MMA, boxing, and kickboxing, this initiative provides a platform where professional fighters, law enforcement officers, ex-offenders, and at-risk individuals can come together to show that change is possible.

The initiative includes:

• Professional MMA Fighters, high-level amateurs, and law enforcement officers competing in a variety of combat sports.

• Ex-offenders and at-risk individuals participating in matches to demonstrate that personal transformation is possible and to foster a sense of redemption.

• Justice & Redemption Matches that focus on individuals who have overcome significant obstacles and are now working to make positive changes in their lives.

At its heart, Combat for Change is about fostering respect, accountability, and collaboration. It is designed to offer opportunities for growth for both athletes and the community, using the power of sports to create dialogue, promote fairness, and inspire change.
