Hey everyone-this is Kru Bishop Holmes,

If you're reading this, chances are you've trained with us, have family or friends who have trained with us, competed against us, worked alongside of us, heard about us, or found something in our academy, through one of our programs that made you a better you. l've always believed that a strong body starts with a strong mind-and this gym has been the place where a lot of people built both for more than 17 years.

Unfortunately, due to a sudden flood/storm, our gym took on major damage that has caused us to be displaced. Our building has been severely affected and everything we've worked so hard to build-it's been gutted.

We're asking for your help so that we can relocate, rebuild and keep doing what the good Lord has blessed us to do through martial arts.

Whether you've been a student, family or friend who has been fortunate enough to have trained with us, a member of the community who has seen the positive affects of our program, or just someone who would love to help. We're raising money to help cover the costs of:

• Replacing destroyed equipment, merchandise and mats

• Relocating and restoring training space

• Supporting our team while we rebuild

I've never been one to ask for help, and I've never been in a situation where we had to, but I've seen what this place has done for our community and for everyone who has been apart of our Academy. I've seen kids find confidence here. Fighters find discipline.

And strangers become family. If this place has ever meant something to you, I'm asking you to help us keep it going.

Anything helps. And I mean that.

Thank you for believing in what we've built. We will come back stronger. That's what we do.

God Bless,

The KTA Family

Strong Mind. Strong Body.
