Hi I am Marc, I am one of the parents (and student) at Lyons Karate Club. For our kids to continue to grow and train safely, the kids need training mitts and shin guards.

Why are we fundraising? As the kids advance to the next stage of their training, having the right protective equipment is essential. Mitts and shin guards aren’t just helpful — they are necessary to ensure the children can train safely, practice proper techniques, and continue progressing with confidence. Unfortunately, this equipment can be costly, and not every family is able to provide it individually.

To support this, the club is taking on an exciting “100 Kicks Each” Challenge — a fun but demanding event where every student will push themselves to complete 100 kicks as to raise funds. This may sound easy, but after a full training session, 100 of you hardest kicks is a lot more difficult than you expect.

That’s where your support can make a real difference.

By sponsoring our challenge, you’re not just helping us buy equipment — you’re investing in a safe, positive environment where the kids can grow stronger, more confident, and more disciplined. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to giving these young martial artists the tools they need to succeed.

Please support our 100 Kicks Challenge and help us keep our kids kicking safely toward their goals!

Thank you for being part of our journey.
