Welcome to Open Hand

Open Hand empowers our community through the practices and principles of traditional martial arts. Our programs cultivate resilience, compassion, responsibility, confidence, and connection.

Open Hand, a Community Martial Arts Nonprofit

Our goal is to bring the benefits of martial arts to anyone who wants them. We believe it’s not just the practice of karate that helps people be their best selves. It’s also the principles, which help us navigate a rough world and make it better for ourselves and those around us. We believe everyone can benefit from a welcoming place to work hard, strive, and be accepted no matter where you start. We’re more than punching and kicking, but if that’s your thing we’ve got you covered.

Donate to Open Hand


Open Hand funding comes from our programs and people like you. We need your help to keep our programming affordable, provide scholarships to those who need it, and reach underserved populations. We want to grow to provide martial arts classes and seminars in movement, conflict avoidance and resolution, and life protection to low income kids, veterans, folks who are neuro-atypical, abuse survivors, returning from incarceration, disabled, and more.

Your generosity and support makes this happen. Every dollar you give helps us reach more people and create a more empowered, connected community.
