Empower Lives Through Martial Arts Scholarships

Help Make Martial Arts Accessible for All – Support The Cellar Gym’s Scholarship Program!

At The Cellar Gym, we believe in the power of martial arts to transform lives. Our scholarship program is dedicated to ensuring that everyone in our community has the opportunity to train, grow, and benefit from martial arts, regardless of financial circumstances. Through this program, we provide financial support to individuals who may not have the means to access martial arts training, allowing them to build discipline, confidence, and physical well-being.

Why We Need Your Help:
Martial arts isn’t just about learning how to fight—it’s about learning life skills. For many in our community, the lessons learned on the mat extend far beyond the gym, helping individuals overcome personal challenges, find confidence, and stay healthy. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford the training or competitions, and that’s where our scholarship program comes in.
Founded in 2024, the scholarship program was created to break down barriers and provide access to martial arts for those who face financial challenges. Your generous donations will directly support scholarship recipients, enabling them to participate in martial arts programs at The Cellar Gym, including Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Fitness Kickboxing, and more.

How You Can Help:
Your donation will make martial arts accessible to more people in the greater Twin Cities area. Every dollar raised will go towards covering class fees, equipment, and competition costs for scholarship recipients. By supporting this cause, you’ll be helping individuals from all walks of life gain the personal growth and empowerment that martial arts provides.

Together, we can:
Help young people and adults who face financial struggles find an outlet in martial arts.
Build a more diverse and inclusive community within our gym.
Support those who would otherwise be unable to afford training or competitions.

Join us in making martial arts accessible to everyone! Whether you’re donating $5 or $500, every contribution helps. Let’s create a community where everyone has the opportunity to train, compete, and grow.

Thank you for your support!
