$400 towards $400

Hello! I have been taking karate lessons at Thousand Waves for 2.5 years. During this time I have advanced from a white belt to a green belt (7 levels) and will be testing for my next promotion in May (advanced green belt). So far, I've learned seven katas, ten basic self defenses, how to safely spar with a partner, and some important life skills like patience, discipline and how to maintain a growth mindset.

Thousand Waves is a not-for-profit with a mission to foster fitness, healing, empowerment, and peacemaking. Our upcoming Spirit Challenge Fundraiser supports Thousand Waves' work in three critical areas:

  • Scholarship program, which provides funding for children and adults who wouldn't otherwise be able to study karate or self-defense.
  • Adapted Seido Karate program (ASK), which provides karate for youth with disabilities.
  • Self-Defense/Violence Prevention program, which provides Self-defense and Bystander Intervention workshops and courses all over the city.

Please help support my dojo by considering a donation. If I reach my fundraising goal, I can participate in a fun week of activities including board breaking, an obstacle course, and a nunchaku workshop.

Thousand Waves was named based on the Japanese saying, "One wave sets thousands in motion." Thank you for helping us make waves!
