Martial Arts Charity

[aefibird]

This is mainly for UK Martial Artists, but anyone would be able to donate!

 

Sensei Keith Turner, of Oldham UK, has set up a charity called Martial Aid. Its aim is to collect equipment and to raise funds for Martial Arts clubs in developing and war-torn countries. One of its current projects is the development of a Judo club in Bosnia.

 

If you have any spare martial arts equipment, such as suits, belts, mitts, focus pads, etc etc and wish to donate them to Martial Aid, please send them to:

 

Keith Turner

 

3 Seville Street

 

Shaw

 

Oldham

 

OL2 8SF

 

UK

 

If you wish to donate money, please make cheques payable to Martial Aid.

 

Thanks!

Hey, hello from Bosnia...

I saw this topic by SEARCH Bosnia in posts...

This is nice, but I think that judo sport is already developed in Bosnia...

Some names are known to Judo world such as Crnogorac (coach) and Arijana Jaha (were on olympics)...

But it is clear, that Bosnian kids preffer more karate...In every Bosnian city (for example in Sarajevo 5-10 clubs) there are karate clubs... In bosnian villages, small places... Karate is everywhere, and number of people who train karate is probably after football and basketball biggest...

In a related vein, is anyone familiar with setting up non-profits or scholarships? I've had this idea for a "martial arts scholarship" for a few years, and I've been curious about how feasible it would be. If you are knowledgeable, could you PM me?

aefibird, is there an official charity website?

I did a quick google search, but couldn't find anything.
