This past year has been full of ups, downs and challenges for me. My training was interrupted last December when a car hit me as I was crossing the street in front of the school where I work. I am convinced that my martial arts training helped my body react instinctively after being hit to position myself so that I could land in a martial front fall, after flying though the air several feet. I was very lucky. I did not hit my head and my injuries were not as serious as they could have been. I am very, very grateful for my karate practice.
Thousand Waves Martial Arts and Violence Prevention Center, NFP is not just a karate school with amazing teachers. It is also a vital community organization that provides self-defense, empowerment, stress reduction and violence prevention courses and workshops. Thousand Waves is non-profit and provides scholarships to those who would otherwise be unable to pay for classes. Part of the money raised through this fundraiser also supports the ASK program for kids with disabilities.
If you would like to sponsor me, I would be ever so appreciative! Please help me raise $3,000 for this (literally) life-saving organization!
