Leif Becker will break a new world record and channel that inspiration to help children break individual barriers. In addition to a world record for boards being broken, he strives to set a new record for the number of initiatives and organizations involved in one event. The Breaking Barriers event will culminate in New York City, where Leif will attempt to break a world-record shattering 100,000 boards in 24 hours. Our vision is to have each of the 100,000 boards sponsored on behalf of a child facing a barrier that limits his or her true potential.

Empower children to face their barriers


by working with our partners to help guide them through a process inspired by Master Leif Beckers world-record breaking strategies. PLAN AND SHARE - Identify the barrier to be overcome and help the children create a plan they can share with their supporters. ACT, EVALUATE, ADAPT - Put the plan into action and make adjustments as necessary along the way. REWARD - Celebrate milestones along the way and reward progress towards the goal.

Breaking Barriers - Building Futures is


designed to provide opportunities for our partners to receive more resources that will help children break through their barriers. We are pairing an effective fundraising model with a powerful event that will increase partner visibility through media, movement building, and an inspirational leader generated by martial arts master and world record holder Leif Becker. The platform will not only generate awareness that organizations can leverage to impact their causes, but create meaningful change and lasting impact for the children through fundraising and educational resources.
