Misfit Combat hasn't added a story.
Hey all, this is Cha! I have been practicing martial arts for over 15 years now and am currently teaching Brazilian jiu jitsu to a group of killaz in a garage down in Oakland. Really, they’ve been killing it at the competitions.
Why am I doing this fundraiser, you say?
Well we’re trying to find a more permanent home, so I am going to open my own gym.
Which is crazy, I know I know. But it also isn’t. Think about it, a gym that is a safe space to try out a little martial arts training, some combat fitness, or figure out some self-defense techniques. This idea is not new, and yet there are so few gyms in the Bay area that are inclusive enough to open up a space for folks to come and be comfortable in their own skin.
This fundraiser will not only help with all the expenses that come with opening a gym (like insurance, build-out, and equipment), it will also fund a monthly free community self-defense class that will eventually turn into a fully robust self-defense curriculum for folks. This little big venture is also going to be a non-profit so it can have a further reach within the community and beyond. If it surpasses the goal currently listed, I will be able to hire more coaches sooner to expand the curriculum to include muay thai, kali, and more!
So hopefully this holiday season, you’ll find it in your heart to go on this quest with me. Let’s build a place together where everyone is welcome.
