Ida Baker High School Self-Defense
Donation protected
My name is Joshua Franzke and I am currently a high school English teacher at Ida S. Baker High School in Cape Coral, FL. Recently, I became certified to teach Physical Education and my administration has given me permission to start a Self Defense course as an elective for our students.
As a new program, we have no funding and will not receive anything from the other PE programs. I am looking to raise a few dollars to get this program off the ground. We will need basic equipment like boxing gloves, mitts, Muay Thai pads, etc. Though the focus of this class is primarily on the grappling aspects of self defense, I do want the students to understand how to throw basic strikes as well as how to protect against strikes. For this reason, we need the striking equipment to keep our students safe while learning the basics.
The goal of this program is to make kids both mentally and physically healthier with hopes they discover a passion for martial arts like so many of us have. Thank you for you time and consideration.
