Operation Save Karate
Over the past 2.5 years we made it our mission to change the public's perception of karate. We were tired of people thinking of karate as a glorified daycare center!
So we started releasing videos on YouTube and sharing them to martial artists of all backgrounds.
Since starting our channel, we've amassed over 2 million views!
Once we had people's attention, the next step was to build an online community. Therefore, we created the Karate Culture Global Network, a database of like-minded schools and individuals who's aim is to share knowledge and train without politics or fear of injury.
We also created a Facebook Community allowing people to share their drills and training methods. As of today, the Network has over 100 members comprised of dojos and individuals around the world and the Facebook Community as over 6,000 members sharing their martial arts.
Our next goal is to continue spreading practical karate on a global scale and finally begin developing a student body locally.
And that's why we're here today.
It's time to build a Global Martial Arts Headquarters that welcomes everyone, no matter what their affiliation or style.
