As a instructor I have had several students that have smoked. One who even won the Show Me State games in fighting. I often told him he would be a even better fighter if he would quit. Smoking is very detremental to ones health and it stinks! I have told my students that I better never catch them smoking while in uniform.

Master Eubanks was truly a great Martial Artist and Promoter! He will be missed by many!

Welcome and God Bless!

Welcome aboard!

I am trying to contact my original Sensei. If anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the Information I have: Sensei Jose V. Sandoval 4th Dan Goju Ryu Taught at Western Avenue Community Center Bloomington, IL Was very active in the USKA in the late 80's If anyone has any information please e-mail me.

Welcome!!!

In the old AKA and USKA circuits it was common for for competitors to have broken noses, cracked ribs or other injuries. I was a common thing and competitors knew what they were up against. We knew when we put on that Black Belt and stepped across the line we better be ready to act like Black Belts. These tournaments today are a game of tag. There is no real martial arts to it. What we have now is gymnast acting like martial artist. I say Keep Going WKF!!! At least we won't have to see the wannabe's at the WKF tournaments!

I let the kids play foot tag.. everyone tucks their hands in their belt and plays tag using their feet. The kids love it.

I also use the term round kick or round punch. I personally never heard of a roundhouse and I've been in martial arts 33 years.

I learned Seiunchin as a purple belt over 20 years ago and it is still my favorite Goju Ryu kata. I practice Seiunchin everyday and is the only kata I do in competition. I have won many tournaments with it.

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome!!!!

Welcome!!!

How do i tell if the school really is the same and not some wannabe Kyokushin school? Ask questions and research who they trained with. Post their name on here and see if anyone in Kyokushin knows them.

Both.. Think about the Crusades, The Spanish Inquistion, The Holocaust, Ethnic Cleasing in Bosnia. All atrocities done by so called Christians. How could they possibly have a problem with Martial Arts.
