"I newly appreciate TW now that I box @ a mostly-male place. At TW, gender didn't matter the way it does elsewhere. All due to TW teachers. 1000 Thx!"

Thousand Waves is a not-for-profit, feminist-led martial arts and self-defense school in the city of Chicago that for 33 years has made its programming accessible to people of all genders, sexualities, ages, abilities, and incomes. There is nothing like it in the city, and just a few similar organizations across the country.
Our 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.
Thousand Waves was named based on the Japanese saying, "One wave sets thousands in motion." Thank you for helping us make waves!
