Yamato Damashii attended Deptford Green Secondary school in conjunction with Urban Synergy to do a 90 minute Karate session with some of their Year 10's.

Urban Synergy was created in 2007 and is an award winning early intervention mentoring charity that helps over 1,000 young people between 11-18 years of age reach their full potential, through outcome focussed mentoring programmes and inspirational seminars.

These programmes utilise individuals from a variety of professions who voluntarily offer young people (mentees) support, guidance and encouragement to achieve their best. The charity believes that high profile role models from all walks of life can make a positive difference to a young person’s life and in a relatively short amount of time, Urban Synergy has become a dynamic force for positive change.
