Denny Strecker’s Karate is proud to announce the “Random Acts of Kindness" program. Our mission is to be the first organization in history to complete and record one million acts of kindness. If we teach our children to be kind to others, the world will be the better for it.

The old saying "It takes a village to raise a child." but today we don't want the village anywhere near our children. There are a lot of negative influences in the world, and children do not need to be exposed to them.

Be a Part of the Movement To Create a Better World Through Positive Action!

“If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an action is worth a thousand pictures.”
- Martial Arts Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee

We encourage you to help us reach our goal by TAKING ACTION on the idea of kindness towards others. Perform random and purposeful acts of kindness and respect towards others and record them on a piece of paper. Make each act of kindness like a vote –a vote for what is good and right about the human spirit.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
-Margaret Mead

There is so much negative on the news and in the world today. Let’s focus our minds and energy on doing kind things for each other and together we WILL change the world –for the better.

Who Can Participate and What Can You Do?

Every person is invited to participate in this program. I have my students – some as young as 4 years old – working on it. If they can do it, so can you! Every kind act counts, so whether you say “hello” and smile at someone you might have typically ignored, help someone out with something they’re trying to accomplish, open a door for someone, or donate your time to a good cause, RECORD IT.

From the simple gesture to the profound and generous donation of time, energy, and resources, EVERY KIND ACT COUNTS.

Why We’re Doing This

We are doing this due to demonstrate the philosophy and beliefs that the martial arts has become known for – leadership, courtesy, respect and confidence. In order to be a master instructor, it is my responsibility to LEAD the way. I have found that children learn a lot more if the experience is interactive and not a lecture. Instead of TELLING them that they need to be nice, I want them to actually BE nice.
