Scholarship Program - Dojo Iska
In partnership with Dojo Iska, we offer scholarships that give underprivileged children access to karate—a practice that builds discipline, confidence, resilience, and respect, mirroring the values we uphold in every journey we create
Discipline lies at the core of karate, guiding students to sharpen their focus, respect instruction, and exercise self-control. Through consistent practice, they learn to face challenges with determination and build a strong, resilient work ethic.
It fosters trust, promotes humility, and teaches students to own their actions. By embracing honesty, they contribute to a respectful and uplifting environment where meaningful personal growth can thrive.
Students come to understand the importance of showing up regularly, putting in consistent effort, and staying driven through challenges. This dedication nurtures their resilience and inner determination.
Being on time demonstrates respect for the dojo, the sensei, and fellow students. Practicing punctuality fosters a sense of responsibility and dependability—traits that are valuable both in martial arts and in daily life.
We offer a secure, fully equipped environment where children can regularly participate in karate classes.
We fully sponsor karate training, including uniforms and class fees, for children who would otherwise be unable to participate.
We support the growth of talented students by selecting them for sponsorship and funding their advanced karate training.
We fund travel and competition expenses, enabling skilled students to represent Peru on the international stage.
This initiative is part of our long-term commitment to creating a meaningful impact where we operate. Because just like travel, true growth starts with opportunity.
We are dedicated to developing champions beyond the tatami, nurturing values like perseverance, discipline, and leadership. Our mission is to equip each student with the tools to succeed in every area of life, cultivating individuals who lead by example and uplift their communities.
When I was a child, I lived in a very humble and dangerous area of Lima, Peru. Opportunities were scarce, so when I saw a small sign one day advertising karate classes sponsored by an American NGO, I knew I had to give it a try. With the money I earned washing cars, I paid for my first classes until I was given a scholarship. Thanks to karate, I started competing and slowly built a different path for myself.
Today, my dream is to give other children the same opportunity that karate gave me. More than just a sport, it’s a way of life that teaches discipline, perseverance, and resilience. It helps them believe in themselves and build a future with more possibilities.
Throughout the years, Iska’s instructors and students have gained international acclaim, earning medals and honors at global competitions. These accomplishments highlight the dojo’s unwavering dedication to excellence and reflect the strong values and teamwork fostered both in training and in everyday life.
Karate fosters personal growth by building discipline and confidence while strengthening communities through teamwork, respect, and shared purpose.
