My Project

This year I am continuing my martial arts self defense class for 6th -8th graders. This class is the only one offered at a middle school and the kids are so excited! We work on basic self defense as well as situational awareness with an emphasis on hands-on training.

I am requesting some mouth guards as well as grappling aids to use in sparring and grappling exercises which the students love to participate in.

Please support us in introducing martial arts to these 140 students as well as getting them involved in this wonderful program that I love to teach!
