By supporting the education and outreach work of the PNBA, you get to share your appreciation for Japanese martial and cultural arts with a large audience of teachers, community organizations, businesses, and social/civic events. This is good for everyone: people can't study what they don't know about. Our efforts bring many more people in contact with Japan's rich martial and cultural heritage, and that will bring students to your school, and new friends with whom to share your art.
The all-volunteer PNBA is entirely dependent upon annual membership dues, the generosity of supportive donors, and matching grants. Please join or donate today and support the PNBA's mission.
