I have been studying karate at Thousand Waves for 7 years. It has made me a more humble, respectful, strong, and caring person. This non-profit organization has done some amazing things like teaching self-defense, violence-prevention, and most of all, how to be strong in body and kind in heart. That is the reason that I support this organization's mission because they are welcoming and supportive to whoever walks into the dojo and just by taking one class there, it will make your life better. During the Spirit Challenge, I will get to do some amazing things such as practicing 500 falling techniques, sparring 20 rounds, breaking wooden boards, and finally using 1000 bo staff techniques in order to raise money to help the dojo keep going. The money I raise will also be used for training scholarships. Please consider making a donation, however big or small, so that Thousand Waves can continue their mission.

Thanks and OSU!
