Help the Youth Program

Here's what we need: 

Karate uniforms for the kids. The prices vary depending on size and I can't release the exact prices in the wholesale catalogue. But averaging them out, it runs around $10 per uniform, including the first promotion belt. Give a child a karate uniform!

The mats that commercial karate schools use are designed to provide good traction and footing and protection against injury. One box of good mats costs $25. A square foot of mats costs around $2.30. Give the Caswell Eagles one square foot of mats!

 

Participation in karate linked to decreased drug use among teens.

Among youths aged 12 to 17, those who participated in school-based, community-based, church- or faith-based, or other activities (such as karate lessons) during the past year were less likely to have used marijuana in the past month than youths who did not participate in these activities.

Help us buy new mats!

Could you help us buy mats for our new room? Donations of any amount would be deeply appreciated. ARI has applied for 501c tax exempt status, and, when granted, it will be effective as of the date the original application was submitted in early 2008. That means when we receive our preliminary letter of determination, your contribution will be completely tax deductible!
 

New Room

The Caswell Eagles are coming up in the world! We now have our very own dojo space within the Center! Thanks, Mr. Dean! Now, next on our wish list are some puzzle mats for the floor. We've got an old tumbling mat to use for some stuff and we're hoping to get the harder rubber mats for our new space!
 

May 10th Tournament

The Caswell Eagles will be participating in a tournament hosted by Shihan Pete Mills and Master Gregg McMahon on 10 May 2008. We'll be taking a team of ten to twenty youngsters to meet some of my favorite martial artists in Knoxville.
