My Project

Please help me give my students Aikido Uniforms and a punching bag!

The students are showing great enthusiasm, commitment, and improvement in their martial arts education!

We are looking to take it to the next level and get them uniforms for practice and a small hanging punching bag to work on their reflex speed.

We have a third-degree black belt in Aikido comes to teach the kids at our after-school program every week. Having the uniform will make it easier for the students to move correctly and hopefully give them a boost of confidence!

Thank you for your continued support!
