Scott Steer is a Judo coach, veteran, and the founder of Veterans Grappling Foundation — a program using combat sports to give veterans purpose, structure, and connection after service. In this episode, Scott breaks down why grappling works where traditional support often fails. We talk discipline, identity loss after Defence, mental health, and why the mat becomes a place where veterans can rebuild themselves without needing to explain their past. This isn’t about competition or medals. It’s about controlled violence, trust, accountability, and belonging. If you’re a veteran struggling to find your footing after service — or someone who wants to understand why combat sports are so powerful for mental health — this one matters. ⬇️ Listen, share, and support veteran-led initiatives that actually work.
