The Way of the Shadow strives to make a positive impact inside and outside of our Dojo. One way we accomplish this goal is to serve the surrounding community in any way we can, whether it is donating to nearby schools or delivering hand-made cards to senior centers. Community service is so important to our core philosophy that it is a requisite for our prospective Black Belt students. Throughout our students' martial arts journeys, we offer many volunteer opportunities to "give back" and encourage getting involved with causes.
Over the years, we have supported and participated with many local organizations. Below is a partial list of organizations and events that The Way of the Shadow has worked with in the past:
St. Jude Children's Hospital
UNICEF

Interactive Booth
One of our favorite ways to support the local community is to set up an interactive booth at schools, festivals, and other fundraising events. It gives us the opportunity to engage with the community face-to-face, teaching them about martial arts while also providing fun games/entertainment the kids can't get enough of.
We are always looking for more ways to get involved in the community. If you have an opportunity for us please contact us!
