MessageI am a blue belt student from Chicago, IL. My instructor is Sensei Derian Winder, of the Good Champs Karate Academy. I recently relocated to Greeneville, TN. I discontinued my classes when I had surgery on one of my kidneys five years ago. I'm interested in resuming classes. I would prefer staying in the same discipline, so I'm looking for a school close to me. I have competed in several regional and two national tournaments in both kumite and traditional forms. I'm 55 Yeats old and would like to stay active and work towards getting in better condition.

Thank You

Del-Re' Dudley

MessageHello,

Shuri-Ryu is the first martial arts style I ever trained in up until I had to move where there was where the system wasn't available. I love it! I would like to be able to meet and have a conversation with Roberta Trias-Kelley. I am also a woman in martial arts and I'd like to learn from her. Thank you.

MessageI enjoyed reading your personal history...Karate has been a big part of your life for some years now...I started a blog (2009) to kind of document my life so my grand children might find out about their grand father some day after I'm gone...It's called "Uncle Ron's Blog"...I'm 78 years old now and I earned a purple belt in Karate in 1957 while serving in the Army at Ft. Lenard Wood, Missouri...Since I'm only allowed 500 characters I ask you to view my blog and check out my post on Tues. Oct. 1,2013...Cheers!
