Students of Seido Karate at Lakeview’s Thousand Waves Martial Arts and Self-Defense Center are challenging themselves to complete 1,000 punches and 1,000 kicks in just two hours during the school’s Punch- and Kick-a-thon Fund-raiser on Saturday 8. Kids ages 4 to 18 are collecting pledges—and getting in some valuable practice—to raise money for Thousand Waves outreach and scholarship programs. The event is open to the public and starts at 10am at the Drucker Center (1535 N Dayton St, 312-664-4631); a demo by teen black belts and students from the school’s program for kids with physical disabilities starts at 12:30pm.
