Board Break-a-thon
In 2017 the Longoria's Family lost one of our own students to Suicide. Through the pain of the loss we decided to raise awareness among our Instructors - training them to know what to look for and the resources available to get help for someone in need.
​
We then created the Board Break-a-thon as a way the martial arts community could come together to support each other and raise awareness and funds for prevention.
​
We hope you'll join us in supporting and sponsoring our students as they participate in the next Board Break-a-thon for bullying & suicide prevention awareness for both youth and adults impacted in our community.
The 8th Annual Board Break-a-thon was on Sunday, September 28, 2025
at Gateway Mall , Lincoln, NE
