    OUR SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT

    Our founder, Franco Richard, always believed that when life has been good to you, you have to give something back. His example provides a vehicle for people to embrace their uniqueness and discover their limitless potential. We provide opportunities for people to apply Franco Richard’s message as a personal call to action.

    From a young age, Franco found himself in situations many of today’s youth can relate to: bullying, street fighting, searching for ways to boost self-confidence and self-awareness to prepare for life in the real world. Enter, martial arts. At 7, Franco acted on his sincere desire to start training in martial arts. The rest…is history. Franco Richard is widely considered one of the most recognized martial artist of the 21st century.

    Despite his success, Franco never forgot his humble upbringing. In 2020, he spearheaded the Francombat Initiative to share his good fortune with others who may not have been afforded the same opportunities. Since inception, the Foundation has provided over $170,000 in financial assistance to students and families within Canada.

    LITTLE COMBATANTS PROGRAM

    HELP A KID DO MARTIAL ARTS

    The Francombat’s Little Combatants program provides life confidence skills, and martial arts training, to at-risk and underprivileged youth in Montreal, empowering them to be the best version of themselves possible. The program gives kids who have a sincere desire to pursue martial arts, but cannot afford to do so, the opportunity to participate.

    We identify kids who express a strong desire to start or continue their martial arts journey, but are in situations without the means to pay for lessons, and award them financial scholarships to attend lessons at pre-screened local martial arts schools within their community.  Scholarships are awarded for a initial period of 6 weeks. After that time, further scholarships are awarded for students based on their dedication, lesson attendance and willingness to continue their training. As part of the program, students also learn about Franco Richard and how his message can be applied to their own lives. To further encourage participation we organize and host one-off events to teach kids that confidence is the best defense against bullies.

    The Little Combatant program is in it’s early stages and we are currently working with a small and passionate group of martial arts schools within the Montreal, Quebec area, as well as hosting one-off events on the West Coast.

    • I like training in martial arts because I learn new things and I learn how to protect myself and my family. It has taught me NOT to be a bully to other kids and to always be a good person.
