This August, President and founder of the Ryukyu Kobudo Tesshinkan, Sensei Tamayose Hidemi will be celebrating the 10 year anniversary of his organisation.

Founded on May 22 1999, the Ryukyu Kobudo Tesshinkan was formed in order to preserve and help spread the teachings of this important part of Okinawan history, and has spread worldwide across Europe, Canada, and now the United States.

Members will be gathering from across the globe to meet, celebrate, and take part in the first ever Tesshinkan event.   The Ocala Tesshinkan will be sending 8 of its current Black Belts to represent and compete for the United States in this first ever competition.

These members, Robby Bray (Sandan), Nick Carter (Sandan), Tom Hodges (Nidan), Anna Mohan (Nidan), Jeff Hawkins (Shodan) Dave Seltser (Shodan) Kim Rivers (Shodan), and Dawn Lasher (Shodan), will also be competing in the 2009 Okinawa Traditional World Tournament in Naha city Okinawa.  The Tournament will be from August 14th – 16th.

  Hey everyone.  I just wanted to say that in this mornings cardiokickboxing class I burned 785 Calories, of which 46% came from FAT!!  This is within 20 calories of doing a 50 min spin class except my spin class only get 29% from FAT.  Just thought I would share that little bit of information for those of you not sure how it will benefit you to jump in and try one.  Don’t wait,  get in on the next class and see what it does for you.  After all, thats what this is all about.  Benefiting each of us, where we all need it.  See you next class!!

Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Cardio Kickboxing & Circuit Training is really turning out to be a hit!!  All members that have attended are telling us daily, just how much they have already benefited from these classes, and just after a week can feel a tremendous difference in their lifestyle.  That’s what this class is all about.  Making You feel BETTER about YOURSELF!!  Keep up the hard work and we’ll see you in class next week.
