Purple Belt Scholarship Fund

There are some stories I carry in my heart long after class ends.

The quiet student who flinched when someone raised their voice.
The mom who sat in her car crying after dropping off her child.
The teenager who said Taekwondo was the only place they felt safe.

These moments are why we created the Purple Belt Fund.

At Confidence Club Martial Arts, we talk about courage, strength, and confidence every day—but for those affected by domestic violence, those words take on a whole different meaning. Sometimes, courage means simply walking through the door. Strength means showing up when the rest of your life feels like it’s falling apart. And confidence? It starts as a whisper in your chest that says, maybe I deserve more than this.

The Purple Belt Fund exists to make sure cost is never a barrier for those who need martial arts the most. It’s more than a scholarship—it’s a lifeline. We use it to quietly open the doors for kids and families who need an escape, a place to breathe, to feel safe, and to heal. And every time a student steps on the mat, they’re not just learning to block or punch—they’re learning to believe in themselves again.

I wish I could tell you the names of the people this fund has helped. I can’t—but I can tell you that because of your donations, there are kids who smile again. There are parents who have hope. There are survivors who are becoming warriors.

Thank you for being part of this mission. Thank you for helping us create a place where healing happens, confidence grows, and no one fights alone. https://gofund.me/bf844693
