Martial Arts Defeat Diabetes® Community Action Project

(MADDCAP™)

MADDCAP™ (Martial Arts Defeat Diabetes® Community Awareness Project) is a historic health based curriculum designed for martial arts schools. This is so martial arts schools can address those situations that endanger children beyond a punch and a kick.

Martial Arts schools pledge to participate in the program and go “Out of the Dojo and into the world”. Organizations participating support a philosophy of personal responsibility and peer based information to support, educate, create community activism and be a catalyst for local, national, and world change.

MADDCAP™ Objectives

This program will:

Teach life-saving information about diabetes and its prevention
Expand Defeat Diabetes Foundation reach by enabling Martial Arts schools to make informed and accurate presentations in local schools about diabetes
Empower students to take community action in their own self-defense
Develop community based activities that help foster healthier communities and
Generate the interest of the local media, government and general public

The MADDCAP™ Program presently has participating schools in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Guatamala.
