Our Mission

Building Character Through Martial Arts

The Berkeley Martial Arts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to martial arts across the greater Bay Area. We award scholarships to student athletes, organize training camps, host martial arts tournaments, and lead fundraising efforts that sustain local programs in Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, Yongmudo, Taiji, and Wushu. By partnering with schools, clubs, and universities in and around Berkeley, we create pathways for students of all backgrounds to train, compete, and grow — because martial arts builds more than physical skill; it builds discipline, resilience, respect, and community.
