Sacura Martial Arts Academy - Krav Maga, Karate - Kenya

Respect is the first lesson.
Before technique.
Before strength.
Before anything else.

Chuck Norris represented that standard for generations.

Not just on screen. In what the art demands.
If you ever stepped onto a mat, put on a gi, tied a belt - you understand.
Around the world, many are putting on a gi one more time - as a final sign of respect.

He will be missed.

You can help to make it happen.

Today we are just more then 14 days after Thanks Giving. Please consider donating to getting our new Brighter Tomorrow project off the ground! For every $50 raised, we know we can train another girl, and build up our assistant trainers so the program can reach more girls faster and at lower cost.

With COVID, violence against women has risen over 3X, and it was already too high. The recent r**e and murder of 2 young girls in Kibera is an example of this. I started Sacura Martial Arts Academy and my security consultancy in Kenya in 2015 because I wanted to help professionals and civilians be better protected. Now, the focus is on protecting girls though this initiative.

Patricia and I have already been training different professional groups from hotel staff to gym staff, who as adults are worried about getting home safely or responding in case of emergency at work. And with friends and colleagues, we have discussed the need to help girls build self-defense and safety awareness skills early on to empower and protect them. I have trained my twin girls since they were 5 to learn Krav Maga and self-defense, so I know it helps.

Patricia and I- plus my 2 assistant trainers (and more as this grows)- will use funds raised to do research and pilot a training program for girls ages 12-18 to start. We estimate training should be at least 8 hours over 2-3 sessions to gradually build and repeat skills learned. 4 schools and youth training organizations in Kibera to Naivasha, just outside of Nairobi, are committed already partners

Please help by donating what you can! And let me know if there are other organizations/schools who could benefit as well.

Today is Giving Tuesday! Please consider donating to help build and pilot a new program to train girls in self-defense- starting with 12-18 year olds in low income communities of Kenya. During COVID, violence against women and girls has increased by 3x. We already have 4 partner schools and youth training organizations with over 300 students who need to be trained, and hope to reach 1,000+ in early 2022!

I started training professionals and civilians in Kenya in martial arts, Krav Maga and self-defense in 2015- and trained my daughters. This project is to build a better program for girls.
