2018 SHEfights Grant Application 1 Introduction2 Grant Information3 Applicant & Guardian Information4 Supporting Documentation Muaythai is a martial art and combat sport which stands on five pillars: Respect, Honor, Tradition, Fair-play and Excellence. The Olympic Charter recognizes that the practice of sport is a human right and that every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport without discrimination of any kind such as race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, national or social standing or any other status. As such, Back Forward Kick Productions and SHEspars have created the “SHEfights Ontario Youth Training Grant” to support the development of female youths aged 17 and younger, while instilling the five pillars and eliminating discrimination against social standing and sex. Training together gives youth the opportunity to build a healthy lifestyle, learn skills and self-defense techniques, gain self-respect and self-esteem, and importantly find a safe and trustworthy environment, building links with their peers and belonging to a community. Funding for the grant will be provided by Back Forward Kick Productions, and the grant will be administered by Muaythai Ontario. Donations for next year's SHEfights Youth Training grant are currently open and can be made online below, or in person at SHEfights II on September 15th. We encourage you to continue to contribute and support uplifting youth in sport. Ticket Type Price Qty.
