Our Work Since 2017
Before officially establishing our NGO, we successfully operated a martial arts club where we trained and mentored many players. Today, with the official launch of our NGO, we are expanding our mission.
Grassroots Development
Our academy works at a grassroots level, supporting middle-class players to enhance their ability in sports and supporting their education through admissions in colleges and universities on sports scholarships. Our athletes study at the University of the Punjab, Superior University, GC University, and the University of Lahore. Our athlete Arusha Saeed won a bronze medal in Kurash for Pakistan at the Islamic Solidarity Games in Riyadh, and Eshal Fatimah represented Punjab at the National Games in Karachi in 2025.
We are also actively working to prevent women's harassment and child abuse through free self-defense seminars, especially organized for girls to empower them with confidence, safety, and practical skills.
