Thousand Waves Martial Arts & Self-Defense Center, NFP fosters fitness, healing, empowerment and peacemaking by promoting healthy minds and bodies through violence prevention, self-defense, and traditional martial arts programs for adults and children of all ages.

Our members apply the skills they learn at Thousand Waves to transform their lives at home, school, work, and in public spaces. This creates a powerful community spirit of civility, self-worth, and compassion in action. Through partnerships with schools, other nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies, we also bring the tools of violence prevention and personal empowerment to diverse communities. We encourage everyone’s participation regardless of racial or ethnic background, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or fitness level.

This certificate is valid for either one self-defense workshop for two people, or two months of karate training for an adult or child, uniform included.
