Mr. Torres holds a black belt in Tae Kwan Do, belts in Kung Fu and Jiu Jitsu and is a former college wrestler and unit boxer while on active military duty. Mr. Torres sponsored and funded USA Jiu Jitsu, a non-profit self-defense organization, whose charter is to train US veterans and government personnel and their families in Jiu Jitsu and self-defense at very low costs; in many cases free of charge. This organization is immensely successful and has grown from a single location in Virginia to across the United States. Mr. Torres also singularly funded a non-profit organization to build a hospice for US Veterans however the program was ultimately cancelled. Mr. Torres is now developing plans for similar programs.
