Make a difference

🥋 Something we’re hoping to add to The Den…
A crash pad for takedowns.
Right now when we work throws and takedowns, we have to keep things very controlled—especially with the kids.
A crash pad allows students to safely learn breakfalls, build confidence with throws, and practice takedowns the way they’re meant to be trained.
It’s one of those pieces of equipment that helps everyone:• Kids learning takedowns for the first time• Teens building confidence with throws• Adults drilling safely and protecting training partners
The folding pads we need (so we can store them easily in the dojo) run about $700, which is a little outside our current equipment budget.
So I figured I’d ask the community ❤️
If you’re an individual or local business that would like to help sponsor or contribute toward the crash pad, please send me a message. 
Every bit helps us continue building a safe and supportive place to train.
Thank you for helping us grow The Den.
