Help for Youngsters

Blitz Sport — Tue, 08 May 2012 13:52:05 +0000

Getting young people interested in martial arts can be tough. However the Heart of Oak Judo Club have been running courses and competitions aiding those less fortunate. They have been offering free membership, free training, help with licence costs and Blitz donated suits, to youngsters that sign up. There’s no catch, only to keep training… A very worthwhile cause deriving from a martial art that not only enriches lives but instils many worthy attributes…

If there were more people in the world that would care for young people, maybe it would be a better place…
