Martial Arts Build-Vention 2014

Amal, Casey and Ella are headed to Greensboro, Alabama on April 9th to join Tom Callos and fellow martial artists from all over the country in an annual house building project. This year we will be building a house for Ms. Latonia Williams, diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. She cannot work full time and is presently living in a tiny room in her moms trailer. You can help by donating!

For 10 years now Tom Callos has been taking martial arts teachers, instructors, and their staff members / students to Greensboro "”to sleep on the floor, to eat local food, to get dirty while operating power tools and hammers, to help a community in transition, and to live the simple life of volunteerism for a short-week "”-all for the purpose of re-thinking how we teach the martial arts, how we impact the places we live, and how we inspire students to take the work out of our dojos and into the world.

This is a completely not-for-profit event that survives only on donations from the international martial arts community. We fund it thru small donation from students and teachers who appreciate the work, who are moved by it, and who want to support the movement the work represents.
