Hello, my name is Steve Graham, and I’m the proud founder of Graham’s Academy of Martial Arts.

For over 25 years, our community-based club has welcomed people of all ages and abilities—helping them grow in confidence, fitness, discipline, and mental wellbeing through martial arts.

We teach Taekwondo, Kickboxing, and Grappling, and our students range from enthusiastic 5-year-olds to determined adults. More than just a place to train, our academy has become a safe, supportive space where friendships are built and everyone feels they belong.

But right now, we’re facing a challenge: Our training mats are worn out and urgently need replacing. These mats are the foundation of our club—literally. They keep students safe as they train, spar, and grow. Without them, we can’t provide the secure environment that our community deserves.

As a small, grassroots club, we don’t have access to big funding pots. That’s why I’ve started this GoFundMe—to reach out to our wider community for support.

✨ How you can help:

Donate whatever you can—every contribution makes a difference.

Share this fundraiser with friends, businesses, and anyone who believes in supporting community projects.

On behalf of our amazing students and families, thank you for helping us keep Graham’s Academy safe and thriving for the next generation of martial artists.
