Empowering women and children in Egypt, Leadership through sports and martial arts

Martial arts volunteer project in Alexandria, Egypt

Building a world where women and children are safe, strong and valued

Are you a fitness enthusiast? Do you love sports? Are you a trainer or martial artist? Come join us in Egypt and help with teaching, daily gym needs, and training.

Howdy, I’m a certified aikido trainer from Aikikai Japan, an ex waterpolo goalkeeper, working in fitness and a passionate marketer. I opened a fitness, CrossFit and martial arts studio in Alexandria, Egypt.

I want to help develop leadership for kids through sports and martial arts, and help eradicate sexual harassment and bullying by teaching young people chivalry through martial arts.

If you love kids, teaching fitness and fun activities would be great to have you with us.

I’m looking for enthusiastic fitness and martial arts trainers and practitioners who are willing to help with training and engaging with kids and grown-up trainees, helping them achieve their goals and compete in locally organised competitions.

If you are super friendly and love to meet new people, you can help us in customer service where you’ll meet and greet new trainees. We’ll provide you with scripts and show you the process.
