Empower Through Martial Arts: Join the Wandering Warrior Adventure!

Hello, Warrior Community!

I’m Ian Hollinsworth, a 54-year-young martial arts instructor with a lifelong passion for Taekwondo and Hapkido. For over 37 years, I've dedicated myself to teaching and inspiring others through martial arts at my Premier Dojang Academy in Hampshire, UK.

Now, I'm embarking on an exciting new journey as the Wandering Warrior—a quest to spread motivation, mindset, and martial arts wisdom across the globe.

My Mission:

My mission is simple yet profound: to empower individuals to unlock their full potential. Through the transformative power of motivation, mindset, and martial arts, I believe we can all embrace challenges, seek new experiences, and grow both mentally and physically.

Why This Project Matters:

Living with Multiple Sclerosis has taught me the value of resilience and determination. This project isn't just a dream; it's my passion and a testament to what's possible with the right mindset. By sharing my journey, I aim to inspire countless individuals to pursue their passions, overcome challenges, and lead fulfilling lives.

What I'm Raising Funds For:

I'm seeking your support to raise £12,500 to kickstart this adventure:

Campervan Purchase: £8,000 for a reliable second-hand van that will serve as my mobile basecamp for travels and training.
Travel Expenses: £2,000 for initial trips, fuel, parking, and camping/site fees.
Equipment: £500 for essential recording gear—cameras, microphones—to document and share my experiences.
Marketing and Promotion: £500 to spread the word about the Wandering Warrior mission and inspire more people to join us on this journey.
Living Expenses: £1,500 to cover basic needs while I focus entirely on this new venture.

Engaging Schools Across the UK:

In addition to my travels, I'm eager to offer talks and martial arts lessons to schools, wherever I am. These engagements will empower students with essential life skills, inspire them to embrace challenges, and promote physical fitness—all crucial aspects of education.

How Your Support Will Make a Difference:

Your contribution will directly support:

Acquiring a campervan to facilitate travel and training with martial arts masters and champions.

Covering essential travel expenses for interviews, exploration, and content creation.

Creating high-quality content—podcasts, YouTube videos—that will inspire and motivate our global community.

Join Me on This Adventure:

Your support isn't just about funding a campervan; it's about joining a movement of inspiration, exploration, and personal growth. Together, let's show the world that with determination and a warrior spirit, anything is achievable.

How to Contribute:

You can contribute directly to this GoFundMe campaign and share it with your friends, family, and community. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal and closer to inspiring others worldwide.

Thank You:

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering supporting this transformative journey. Your generosity will help turn dreams into reality and inspire countless individuals along the way.

Let's train, explore, and inspire together!
