My Project

The supplies that I am requesting will help these students learn how to improve their fitness goals as well as increase their self confidence as they learn the martial arts in a fun school setting! Many of my students have always wanted to learn martial arts but the cost to take lessons was outside of many family budgets. These sparring supplies will introduce the students to an exciting and healthy new world of martial arts which may lead to some students pursuing martial arts after the school year ends or after school keeping them in a lifetime fulfilling hobby.
