At NCK Bellingham, martial arts is about more than punches and kicks—it’s about heart, community, and showing up for others. This past month, the dojo wrapped up a successful donation drive supporting Thanks To Yanks, a local nonprofit dedicated to honoring and assisting veterans, military members, and their families.

To mark the occasion, Michael Shain, President of Thanks To Yanks, and Jared Ontiveros, Vice President, joined Mindy Ruddock, co-owner of NCK Bellingham, to celebrate the dojo’s ongoing commitment to service.

“Our NCK Bellingham Family never stops giving,” said Ruddock. “Whether it’s supporting veterans, raising awareness for breast cancer in October with our Pink Belt campaign, or adopting a local family in need during the holidays, we believe in creating strong martial artists and strong communities.”
