This strong community came to kick it at Hit House for a donation-based all-levels kickboxing workout class, benefitting Asians for Sex Positivity on Sunday, June 11th.
Asians For Sex Positivity is a local New York City community here to embrace a sex positive outlook by:
- welcoming all sexualities and gender identities
- deconstructing fetishization
- dismantling sexual shame
Read more about AFSP's leader, XiXi Wang, how this community was formed and what they're doing to ensure the AAPI has a safe space to discuss sexuality and sex education in Mochi's article, "It’s Time Asian Americans Talk About Sex."
These #loversandfighters kicked it for a cause during one of our all-levels Muay Thai influenced workout classes, led by lead Hit House instructor, private trainer and musician, Tobias C. Wong.
Does Tobias look familiar? He led last summer's AFSP Kickboxing for a Cause workout class, too!
Tobias is leading a few upcoming Kickboxing for a Cause events this summer as well, for additional incredible organizations, including an outdoor workout for Animal Haven, scheduled for Sunday, June 25th at 11am in McCarren Park, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Donations help support the AFSP team and fund future events and projects aimed to dismantle sexual shame. Couldn't make class but still want to donate? Click here. (Thank you!)
In addition to sweating it out, this class was treated to goodies, thanks to our friends at smartwater, AHA, eBOOST, Tin Barn Brewing, blume, Bluestone Lane, KO Studio and more.
Soul Munchie had a bake-sale pop up in the studio after class as an added treat! Soul Munchie is a NYC AAPI female-owned edible bake shop.
