Charity Kick-a-Thon 2024

Join us for our 20th annual charity kick-a-thon! We are raising money for charity – this year for Ladli Foundation and Friendship Circle (see below). During the week of December 13-19, we will do kicks – LOTS of them… For the entire week, we will be holding kick-a-thon events in almost all of our youth classes, building up to the finale on Thursday evening. In that 7pm class, we will do 2025 repetitions of maegeri (front-kick) as well as 2025 repetitions of gyakuzuki (reverse-punch) in a two hour session. We welcome those from all over the world to participate with us over Zoom each year. Or please feel free to organize your own charity event.  If you would like to join us physically (no charge), please sign up here:   To get the Zoom link (no charge), please sign up here:
