Hello everyone! We are Ashbourne Kansen Ryu Academy, a small club dedicated to teaching traditional Japanese Ju-Jitsu. For over 20 years, our students—young and old—have been learning discipline, self-confidence, and respect on the same tatami mats. These mats have served our community well but are now worn out and desperately need replacing.

Unfortunately, as a grassroots club with limited funding, we don’t have the financial resources to purchase brand new tatami mats on our own. That’s where you come in! By contributing to our GoFundMe, you’ll help us raise the £1,500 needed to replace our aging mats. Your support will ensure we can continue providing a safe and welcoming environment where students can learn the art of Ju-Jitsu, build resilience, and develop valuable life skills.

Any donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference. With your help, we can keep our dojo thriving and continue sharing the rich traditions of Japanese martial arts with the next generation of students. Thank you for standing by us and for helping maintain the spirit of Ashbourne Kansen Ryu Academy!
