Channeling Service Into Strength And Purpose.

Welcome to the Cadre Initiative.

The Cadre Initiative is a community program dedicated to strengthening military-connected families through self-defense, martial arts, and physical fitness training. We provide practical, skills-based sessions led by experienced instructors, creating an environment where service members, veterans, spouses, and children can build resilience together.

This program is proudly sponsored by the New York City Department of Veterans’ Services (DVS).

Your responses will help us understand your goals and ensure each session is meaningful and supportive for those who take part.
