Editorial Reviews


Chad Robichaux puts the mindset of a true martial artist in his approach to life's many challenges with great success. It is an honor to know his stories of battle in war, competition, and life. And a pleasure to have him as a friend.


- Carlson Gracie Jr., "The Prince of Jiu-Jitsu", Original Gracie Family Member; Head of Carlson Gracie Association
It is incredibly rare to find a book that challenges the human soul with real-life stories that will make your heart race, and break, on almost every page. This is one of those books! A must-read, and perfect gift, for anyone who is struggling with the big questions of life and who is tired of hearing the same old clichés to try to explain them away.


- Chris Brown, Senior Pastor, North Coast Church, Vista, California

An Unfair Advantage is truly transformational and is a must-read for every man. Chad has a way of weaving his own story of success and failure together in such a captivating way that you will have a hard time putting this book down. Every competitor I know is always looking for the "advantage," and Chad adds a twist to it in a way that you will never forget. We all talk about the X factor, but few can objectively tell us what it actually is. Chad not only tells us what it is and how to get it, but he also illustrates it from one of the most fascinating life stories you will ever read. What makes Chad so unique is his brutal honesty and humility; he never pulls a punch! It is refreshing to meet a "man's man" who is so secure in his masculinity that he doesn't try to hide or excuse anything. As a pastor and father, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to you!


- Tom Ferrell, Lead Pastor of Atascadero Bible Church



CHAD ROBICHAUX is a former Force Recon Marine and DoD contractor with eight deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Task Force. After overcoming his personal battles with PTSD and nearly becoming a veteran suicide statistic, Chad founded the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a leading nonprofit, serving the active duty and military veteran communities with highly successful faith-based combat trauma and resiliency programs. Having spoken to over 150,000 active-duty troops and led life-saving programs for over 3,800 active military and veterans at four Mighty Oaks Ranches around the nation, Chad has become a go-to resource and is considered a subject matter expert on faith-based solutions to PTSD, having advised the Trump administration, Congress, the VA, and the highest levels of the DoD. Currently, Chad serves as the chairman for the Faith Based Veterans Service Alliance (FBVSA) collaborating with the White House on behalf of a coalition of faith-based Veteran Service Organizations, and is a surrogate speaker and national board member for Veterans Coalition for Trump.
Chad has written five books related to veteran care, donating over 100,000 copies to the troops during his resiliency speaking tours. He is regularly featured on national media, such as Fox News, OANN, The O'Reilly Factor, The Blaze, TBN, The 700 Club, USA Today and has appeared in a short film by I Am Second. Currently, a life-story motion picture is being produced based on the stories in this book.
In addition to Chad's military service, he is a former federal agent and law enforcement officer who was awarded the Medal of Valor for bravery. Chad is married to his wife, Kathy, and they have a daughter and two sons. Hunter is a third-generation Marine Combat veteran in the Robichaux family. Chad and his two sons are lifelong martial artists. Chad is a third degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Carlson Gracie Jr. and is a former Professional Mixed Martial Arts Champion, having competed at the highest levels of the sport.
