Support Brandon's Dojo Dream

Donation protected
I'm Brandon Chambers, and I've been practicing martial arts for over twenty years. It's had an enormous impact on me, and I've always loved giving back. I started volunteering as an assistant instructor at the age of 11, and recently left my original dojo to pursue teaching on my own. I teach Community Classes through the local high school during the school year, and this summer I began teaching lessons in a local park. My students range in age from 3-30. I was able to keep my prices extremely affordable, which I believe was a benefit to my community and a testament of my love of martial arts. I teach ten hours a week on top of a full-time job and caring for my wife and 7-month-old daughter.

Despite my initial research, I recently discovered that I couldn't continue to charge for lessons in the park due to an obscure city code. I'm not one to let down my students, though. We are continuing to train in the park, but it's now strictly on a voluntary basis.

This puts me in a bind. I was using that income to save up for a physical location. Now, it's gone. Many of my students and their parents were upset at this development and urged me to start a GoFundMe.

My mission as the owner of Tiger Den Dojo is to offer affordable and transparent pricing while also teaching martial arts of a high quality. I'm confident that I can eventually find a physical location to train at year-round, and I hope this GoFundMe can expedite that process a bit. With the money I'm asking for, I'll be able to afford a few month's lease plus some important equipment like mats.

I'm going to try to make merch available for shipping soon, in case you'd like to contribute that way instead. Online commerce isn't exactly my expertise, but I'm willing to learn about it if it helps my students have a better experience. You can learn more about me, including many testimonials from my students and peers, by checking out my social media and website: https://linktr.ee/TigerDenDojo.

Thank you for any donation you can give. If you're located in or near Springville, Utah, and would like to arrange to come try free karate with me in the park, I'd love to have you!
