The term Kamikaze was adopted by our JukuCho to represent the spirit of this gym. To put everything you have into it. To have enough fuel to get you there, but not enough to return. Like the kamikaze pilots of old, committed only to one purpose. We are the oldest kickboxing clubs on Okinawa.

All of us volunteer our time, resources, and energy to this dojo. We are a family here. We work together, train together, fight together, and hang out together. We make each other stronger. - Kamikaze Juku

Okinawa Kickboxing and MMA Update: Feb/3/2014

Haven't been updating lately because of Todaka's Event in Turin Italy. It was a good fight with Todaka winning the first round. Here is an exerpt from the ISKA website:

 " Todaka is a Kyokushin Karate sytlist who reached the last four in the Kyokushin Karate World Championships in 2008 before switching to pro-kickboxing. The last thing Danilencu expected was for Todaka to come out punching, but that’s exactly what he did in the opening round, landing stiff jabs followed by a solid right hands to win the round. Danilencu found Todaka weakness in the second with a long knee sending Todaka to the canvas twice. Todaka tried to fight back in the third round but Danilencu has his measure and use more knee strikes to drop Todaka again, after the second knockdown the referee stepped in waving the fight over, a KO victory for Danilencu "

Considering Todaka was fighting a taller and heavier opponent I personally believe he did very well, and in my professional opinion it takes a lot of heart to go against larger opponents. We tend to be hardwired that way and it's a lot of work to overcome that basic instinct.

In other news I am back from my trip to Hokkaido and full time back at the gym. I understand last week there were some viruses floating around and some of our instructors weren't available resulting in unexpected closures. So if you came by the gym last week and it was closed that's why. The good news is everyone is healthy again so its back to business.

See you in the gym!

OSU!
