The Humble School Community Fundraiser 

"Thomas Lewis, or Chief Master Sabu as he’s known to his students, is being forced to relocate or shut down due to rising rent. For the time being however, on any given day if you walk into the aptly-named Humble Dojo on Fulton Street in Brooklyn, you will find Master Sabu teaching people in his community self-love and self-discipline. 

Master Sabu teaches many students for free, or for whatever they can afford, but he is most dedicated to children. Some days, he stays late at the Dojo teaching a free class so that single mothers can pick their children up after working late, and so that the children aren’t home alone. No one pays him extra, or even necessarily realizes that he’s stayed late just for this reason. This is just who Master Sabu is. Moreoever, his penchant for giving extends far beyond his students, many of whom have gone on to become doctors, lawyers, or open their own Dojos. Master Sabu also volunteers for the elderly, teaching at nursing homes. He also feeds poor and homeless people on Thanksgiving every year - no matter what his financial circumstances may be. He is a man of his community, and he reminds us of what community really means. To this end, New York 1 recently named Master Sabu New Yorker of the Week! The link to the two-minute heart-felt video is below. 

To try and put it simply, Master Sabu is the embodiment of love, a constant champion of giving, and an enduring example of a steadfast commitment to the well-being of others. With your help we can save the Humble Dojo and show Master Sabu that his lifetime of service hasn't gone unnoticed."
