TAP CANCER OUT

Join our RPMA Team!
Help us raise funds for a cause that is close to our heart.

At RPMA Tap Cancer Out holds a special place in our hearts. Two of our own members have faced the battle against cancer, showing incredible strength and resilience. This fundraiser is more than just an event—it's a way for us to honor their fight and come together as a community.

By participating and fundraising, we're not only supporting a vital cause but also strengthening the bonds that make our dojo a family. Let’s unite, roll for a cure, and make a difference together.

Dojo Rules for Kids

To ensure a safe and respectful environment:

What to Wear/Not to Wear

Wear: Comfortable athletic clothing. Rash Guards are recommended. Spats, leggings or shorts.

Not to Wear: Jewelry, watches, or any loose clothing that might get caught during activities. T-shirts. Any clothing with zippers, buttons, sparkles, or anything that sticks out or can hurt others.

What to Bring Every Day:

• Belts: This is mostly for Kids! Don't forget to bring your belts so you can get your promotions on time! Belts are also sometimes used for games. Be sure to have your belt.

• Water Bottles: Staying hydrated is crucial, so make sure to bring a water bottle. We have a water bottle refill station. The refill station is for filling water bottles. It is not a water fountain, so please do not place your mouth directly on it.
