Charity Event Kicks Off

In September, the chapter partnered with Spirit Made Steel karate studio to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Students received pledge donations for the number of kicks they could execute in 20 minutes. Instructors at the event judged each kick for completion. The winner of the event successfully kicked more than 1,300 times within the time limit. The chapter and Spirit Made Steel raised more than $2,600 dollars to benefit the charity. “Martial artists should take time to give back to the community like other civic organizations,” said sensei Kevin Swanner (8th Dan). The chapter was proud to participate with Spirit Made Steel for such a worthy cause.
