About the Fund Purpose
The Sensei Jeff Gervin Memorial Training Fund honours the life and passion of Sensei Jeff Gervin, a dedicated karateka and martial artist who inspired many through his commitment and love of martial arts. He believed that exploring different perspectives deepens understanding.
Each year, the fund supports karate students expanding their martial arts knowledge. Students may apply for reimbursement of seminars, courses, or training events in any martial arts discipline.
