Support Thousand Waves' Scholarship, Adapted Seido Karate, and Empowerment Self-Defense programs!

Thousand Waves Martial Arts & Self-Defense Center, NFP is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to foster fitness, healing, empowerment and peacemaking. Our not-for-profit work includes offering scholarships for all our programs, including karate training, our empowerment self-defense workshops and courses, and our camps for kids. We also run an Adapted Seido Karate program for children with disabilities. Every year, we hold a Spirit Challenge fundraiser to support this important work - thank you for your generous donations!

I’m fundraising for Thousand Waves not only as a member of the dojo but as someone who firmly believes in the work it does. Thousand Waves has changed my life and how I see my body and my relationship with others. I love that Thousand Waves is such a safe space for women and queer people and focused so much on empowerment in the face of violence. I wholeheartedly believe in Thousand Waves’ work, including its free self defense workshops to community members, scholarship programs, and its Adapted Seido Karate program which teaches karate to people with disabilities. Thank you for contributing to all the work that we do.
