Navy SEALs Fund - Brotherhood Beyond Battlefield® is Honored to be part of this wonderful event to keep Seth's passion for supporting others moving forward - giving back to the Brotherhood and ensuring no one goes it alone.

On October 1st, 2020, Seth passed away unexpectedly due to post-surgical complications following a routine cervical surgery. He leaves behind his beautiful wife Jennifer and their beloved son, Atlas.

Seth Farwell brought his passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and his military experience as a former Navy SEAL Team 5 member to the Renzo Gracie Jujitsu Academy as a co-owner. Seth understood first-hand the healing power of the mat and wanted to share that with the community.

In memory of this incredible man and his passion for giving back to others, the Gracie Jiu Jitsu Seminar Memorial Fundraiser was founded. All proceeds from this event will go to the 501c3 non-profit Navy SEALs Fund - Brotherhood Beyond Battlefield.
