Approved Gym • Maidstone, Kent
Veterans • Military • Police • Fire • NHS
Zilla Combat Academy is a proud REORG approved gym, offering fully funded Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for veterans, serving and retired military, and emergency services personnel.
Applications are handled by REORG. Funding covers your training at Zilla in full.
Two things worth saying plainly, before anything else on this page.
The Challenge
Life after frontline service isn't always easy. The structure, the camaraderie, the sense of purpose, it can all feel harder to find once the uniform comes off. For police officers and firefighters, NHS and ambulance staff, and military personnel leaving service, that adjustment can take a real toll.
The Solution
Jiu-Jitsu gives that structure back. A team to train with, a skill to build, and a reason to show up. That's the idea behind REORG, and it's why we're proud to be one of their approved gyms.
REORG funding is open to veterans, and to serving or retired personnel from the military, police, fire service, and NHS frontline roles, policemen and policewomen, firemen and firewomen, nurses and other NHS frontline staff, and military personnel currently serving or veteran. If that's you, this page is for you.

Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Gi and No-Gi, six days a week. Lunchtime and evening sessions, so it works around shift patterns.

Three steps, and REORG handles the first one.
Applications go directly to REORG, not to us. They assess eligibility and handle the funding.
If you're accepted, REORG fully funds a 60 day membership to start.
There's the option to move onto a longer 12 month programme, for those who stick with it.
As an approved gym, anyone referred to us through that process trains at Zilla, no cost to them, fully covered by REORG.
You already know how to show up, how to work as part of a team, and how to keep going when it's hard. Those are the exact things this sport asks for. Apply through REORG, and the rest is covered.
