Thank you for your interest in the Epic Vets 6-Month Program and Thailand Trip!

This program is designed for veterans who are committed to improving their physical, mental, and emotional well-being through structured training, teamwork, and adventure.

Over the course of six months, participants will engage in mandatory physical fight training to build foundational skills in boxing, jiu-jitsu, and MMA. Additionally, we’ll host monthly social outings featuring guest speakers, including financial advisors, business leaders, and fellow veterans, all tailored to the needs of those going on the trip.

At the end of the program, we’ll travel to Thailand for an epic 5-day Muay Thai training camp at a Muay Thai resort. On the last night, we’ll attend a live Muay Thai fight event, and for those who feel ready, the opportunity to step into the ring and fight will be yours!

We fully cover the cost of the entire Thailand trip, including flights, airport transportation, accommodations, food, and training. However, for the 6-month program leading up to the trip, we only cover the cost of the physical trainings. We do not provide food, accommodations, transportation, or flights for the monthly trainings and social outings, as they will all take place locally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

If you are applying from out of state and choose to travel on your own to attend the trainings, please note that transportation to and from the airport for the Thailand trip will only be provided from Milwaukee.

Participation requires full commitment.

Please review the program dates carefully before applying, as attendance is mandatory for most activities.

Completing this form does not guarantee selection—this is the first step in the application process.

  • This training is designed to help veterans cope with the emotional highs and lows that can follow a high-intensity experience like the Thailand trip. We will focus on managing the inevitable emotional shifts, as many experience a "high" during the trip that may lead to a "low" afterward.

  • Our goal is to equip you with strategies to handle these emotional transitions and support you through them.
