Master P’s World Class Tae Kwon Do Raises Money for Local Schools and The Chester County Hospital
Every year, Master P’s “Kicking for Miracles” event raises thousands of dollars for The Chester County Hospital. Since we began our Kicking for Miracles event back in 2010, hundreds of students have broken thousands of boards to raise money to support our local hospital and the community!
During the school year, Master P’s World Class Tae Kwon Do partners with local elementary schools to provide after-school martial arts clubs. These clubs, known as the World Class Kids program, provide a great introduction to Tae Kwon Do while also fundraising for the schools. 100% of the fees are donated directly to the schools. Schools that have partnered with Master P include Fern Hill, Hillsdale, Glen Acres, Penn Wood, Sarah Starkweather, Mary C. Howse, General Wayne, Sugartown, K.D. Markley, and many more!
In The Community
“Contribute to a Safe and Peaceful Community”
Master P with Sarah Starkweather Elementary Principal Meanix and staff.
Our involvement in our local community truly sets Master P's World Class Tae Kwon Do apart. When our school opened in 2009, we knew that if we were going to be successful, we would not only have to teach great martial arts and life skills, but we would also need to build strong community connections and give back to our hometown.
A key part of our school’s mission statement is to “Contribute to a Safe and Peaceful Community”.
We have taken a very active part in making this happen over the last twelve years. When we give back to the community, it reminds everyone involved in our school that the lessons of martial arts are not just applicable in our classroom, but need to be spread out into the community with a ripple effect that benefits everyone!
Our Community Involvement Over The Years
Over the past twelve years, we’re proud of running these projects within our local community:
- Fundraised more than $60,000 for local elementary schools through our after-school martial arts club, the World Class Kids program!
- Raised over $95,000 for The Chester County Hospital through our annual board break-a-thon event, Kicking for Miracles!
- Donated thousands of dollars to local HSA and PTO organizations through financial contributions, auction donations, and sponsorships!
- Our physical education “All-Star Program” has helped introduce numerous local elementary school kids to the excitement and benefit of martial arts training!
- We have performed countless numbers of demonstrations, information booths, and field day events for local schools, scout groups, and more throughout our community!
- We’ve promoted over 503 Black Belts into our community and are confident in the positive ripple effect their experience, skills, and values will have on thousands more.
We are very proud of the contributions we have made to our community and we look forward to you joining us in our mission to contribute even more!

Over 15 schools in the area have already participated in the program including most of the schools in the West Chester Area District, all of Great Valley, and a number of private schools. Since 2009, this unique program has helped raise over $50,000 for local schools helping to fund many things like playground equipment, needed PE supplies, financial assistance for after school sports, etc. A whole separate information packet is available for this program.

As West Chester’s Bully Expert, Master P can build the confidence and self-esteem you want for your child.
