This week’s Urban Valor episode features Marine combat veteran, Jose Gasca. Jose grew up in the gang projects of Los Angeles during the early 80’s. He was inspired by his older brother to join the Marines and was a member of the Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team for his first assignment.
Jose then got attached to 2/2 Fox Co. and went with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Ops Capable) during the invasion of Iraq. Since getting out of the Marines, Jose founded Fighting Hole Jiu Jitsu, a nonprofit organization allowing veterans to train jiu Jitsu for free to assist the mental health epidemic within the veteran community.
Jose also shares about veteran mental health and the challenges faced by combat veterans as he discusses Fighting Hole Jiu Jitsu.
We're incredibly thankful for the opportunity to sit down with Marine Combat Veteran Jose Gasca as he shares his incredible stories as well as the good he's doing for veterans today!

I personally think it doesn’t matter if it’s 4 against 2, 2 against 2 or 3 against 2.. street fights aren’t worth it. Now that I’m older I see it that way now. Too many ppl dying over a dumb bar fight , fight over a b!tch , etc. ITS NOT WORTH IT.

It’s sad that there are so many ridiculous RU-vid channels out there that have millions of subscribers yet one as real as this doesn’t have much. I know that’s not what it’s about but it just trips me out. Keep up the great content. We need this. 👊🏼🙏

@UrbanValorTV 2 года назад

Thank you! RU-vid channels take a while to build honestly before the algorithm shows you "love", as long we we keep getting support and love from people like you, we will inevitably get there! Appreciate it!

We lucky few get to enjoy some of the best stories on the internet. It is crazy a couple of weirdos can say “ island boys” and have millions of subscribers. The sheeple are plentiful. Lucky for them we sheepdogs will protect them. It’s becoming clear we need to let the herd thin a bit next time they need protection. We know the sheeple love the Shepard as they walk into the slaughter in the end.

So many good stories, my son is a Marine at Lejeune, im prior service army. The story about his Dad in his last moments was incredibly touching. We also need to pass along that there aint nothing wrong with shedding tears, its called being human. Much love!

@d.rcarrera6599 8 месяцев назад

Army brother, I completely agree. Being human is perfectly normal. I had a family loss during my second deployment and I also let out my tears and am completely a man about it. Take care brother

@d.rcarrera6599 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Jose, brother, you gave a powerful story. My condolences to the memory of your father. Growing up in challenging environments, such as neighborhoods, i am very familiar with this. I grew in one in Chicago. Regarding absentee father, i also did not have a full time father. I strongly believe all challenging experiences should be viewed as learning lessons. Instead of using the wrong emotions, like the destructive ones, we learn not to. Be a good father to your son, be kind to your wife or girlfriend, family, friends..Life in the Marines is not an easy climb. When I out, I dealt with major economic challenges. Luckily, they are in the past. Be strong brother.
