Self Defense Seminar ~ June 15, 2017
Tournament Participants Personal Safety training extends beyond the physical aspects. It is important to be aware and assess a situation so that you know how to act should a situation arise. Not everyone is comfortable with carrying a gun or permitted to do so. It is important to know where, how and when to defend yourself to counter an attack. In this training, participants learn to use the most comfortable and easiest ways so they can respond effectively. Each person is unique and in the class, Master Anne Radke helps each person realize their potential and a teaches them a variety of ways to defend themselves.

Warrior Challenge 3 Sparring Tournament - April 11 2009 9:30am to 11:30am

     On Saturday, April 11 2009, members and family of UPKUDO were joined by supporters of St Jude Children's Research Hospital to raise money for charity. Combined with the money earned during the April 4 Garage Sale, over $650 was raised for St Jude Children's Research Hospital. Kenzie Kilbourn also single-handedly raised $200. All who donated and helped to make the fundraiser a success are very appreciated.
     The Warrior Challenges aren't organized just so our students can gain experience in the ring, get a trophy and shirt (thanks in part to the sponsors). They exist to help children who are sick and cannot fight for themselves in a competition.
     Below are the results from the tournament.

World Champions Sensei Anthony Reeves and Sensei Dillon Hardy not only won their divisions in Black belt Fighting, but defeated all of the division champs for the 2004 Ultimate Sparring World Title at the Universal Martial Arts Hall of Fame. They declined to fight one another since they both are students of Alpha UPKUDO and instead had their instructor, Renshi Anne Radke, come up to receive the gold cup. A true expression of humility, loyalty, and championshop performance.

St. Judes Kick-A-Thon

Love is shown in many ways and giving isn't always about material things. The students of UPKUDO gave their time and energy to a needy cause, St. Judes Childrens' Research Hospital, kicking away cancer in Alpha UPKUDO's Kick-A-Thon in August of 1999. Seventeen students, ranging in age from 4-60 years old, raised nearly $2,000 in 20 minutes performing an amazing 29,982 kicks to help childrens' cancer research.

One amazing 4 year old, white belt, named Dylan Bozeman, kicked 1,036 times on one leg to win a Gold Medal from St. Judes. Dylan singlehandedly raised over $500 for the event. His courage and determination to never give up have been a great inspiration to everyone since his accident this summer which resulted in him losing a portion of his right foot.

Three other students won Silver Medals from St. Judes. Elizabeth Carlton, 1st Place Women 18-25 age group with 2,734 kicks who recently became North Florida Martial Arts Association's #1 Female Point Fighter and Kata Performer. Assistant Instructor in Alpha's Kickboxing and Karate, Lisa Roddenberry, placed 1st Place Women 26-35 age group with 2,558. Mary Kidd, proved love has no limits as she kicked her way to 1st Place Women 56-65 age group with 1,758 kicks. Overall Grand Champion Kicker was 19 year old Zach Goodman, Alpha's instructor at Lafayette Community Center with 2,999 kicks.

Other winners in the kick a thon were Patrick Jones 2,651; Crystal Lanham with 2,027; Birdie Robinson with 1,907; Anthony Reeves with 1,855; Logan Gregg with 1,802; Tyler Clayton 1,534; Matt Sexton 1,526; Autumn Clark with 1,447; Austin Clark 1,380; Autumn Spell with 1,063 ; Jessy Clayton 970; and McKenzi Spell 735.

After the kicking was completed, the crowd enjoyed watching several students point spar. Friends, family and sponsors such as WTNT, 107.1 Cool Radio, Play It Again Sports, Papa Johns Pizza and many others gave refreshments and door prizes to help make this event a great success. Grand Master Baker's philosophy, "Love always wins" is evident in the hearts of these fine Tallahasseans and Alpha UPKUDO Karate students.

Of special mention is Dylan Bozeman, who did the most kicks in his division with great courage. Below are the full results of the kick-a-thon:
