Uh So so we're here, we're here in Queen's Village.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
We're here in use that character you know, the actress
is two nineteen.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's forty eight to make an avenue Queen's Village, right,
So tell us about the school.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
The school was founded in nineteen seventy nine, and the
whole idea of QO Die was to establish a family,
and the word kod means family and brothers and sisters
of the martial arts.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So it didn't matter what is your religion, color, or.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Height, or whatever your attributes sare, You're welcome to become
a cute I remember. But Kola had high standards, especially
if you become a black belt and our environment, and
we've had already since up to today, about two undred
and fifty black belts, and all of them are in
various places, whether it is the FBI, DA, law enforcement,
(03:17):
lawyers and all different states, we are everywhere. Doctors, we've
turned out doctors. We've turned out several surgeons and all
have studied martial art and grew up in my possession
and mine used.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That nineteen seventy nine. So that'll make it five years. Okay,
so forty five years. That's like two and I think
nothing over two generations.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Five years.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
We'll talk about the month. I feel like I was
for like twenty years. That every generation.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Twenty years puts you a whole new ball game to
every twenty every If you tent a five year plan,
if your group, you're okay, if you're a ten year,
that you're really very much separated.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay, okay, okay, So so after school, right, you know,
came over twenty seven black belts, some of which opened
their own door Jos and film success, otherware and martial arts.
Sure myself, and well I'm gonna say alumni, okay, like
cry though if you come back, it's still on one line.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
But if you're a black belt, you carry a different stature.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
God to God. Yeah, so I had for forty but
forty five years.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, forty years of dislocation. Okay, so forty five years.
This this place, I required it in nineteen eighty five,
but cureda was already in fact, was already in progress since.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
What's the other location across.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
The street from two twenty years street across from the
Bengal Hole in Queen's Village.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Okay, okay, so literally at the strength okay, So yeah,
this this makes us, This makes us porty fibers or
makes news.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
The school, well, the school is designed for multi purpose fitness,
from fusion fitness to judo which is grabbing, throwing, choking,
but not for the Olympics, but for survival. And we
have kung fu, which is kung fu campo kung fu.
Campo is also martial arts, but Chinese style, and it
(05:33):
exposes you and to the different Chinese maneuvers, leg maneuvers,
hand maneuvers different from karate. Karate is also cell defense
which we also offer juniors kids some six years old enough.
Some people take him at four and five, which is
babysitting for me.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It's not enough.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I rather from six years old and up and all
the way to age eight. And we have a big
junior population and all learning to defend themselves. Uh, to
survive in the street and to be to be to
be self and have self confidence.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Self confidence is very important.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
And certainly they are fit and they're enjoying the martial
art as they're learning to grow enter the martial arts
which will serve them as discipline with the entire life.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Okay, what what's what's using?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Fusion fitness is a combination of of exercises.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's not just push up and sit up.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
It changes every single time, whether it is leg raises, uh, burpes,
push ups, set ups, different kind of sit ups, using
some weight training, some strength training, but a lot of
it is designed and for that your body does not
get used to any one particular kind of exercise.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's always changing.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Okay, okay, so fitness.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
What does the karate show?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Japanese style. There are many styles of of of karate.
The one Japanese style.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
It has a lot of.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
The hands in it, a lot of hand maneuvers and
feet maneuvers, but were also used the kicking as well.
Kicking combines with the hands makes you're a worthier opponent,
unlike taikondo, which is mostly legs. The kanfu is the
same kicking and punching, but the judo is strictly grabbing, throwing,
using your opponents against your opponents weighed against you, so
(07:22):
you're learning to bow your opponent's energy and use it
against them. It's not for everyone, but judo is very unique,
and I think everybody does corradation do judo. Everybody who's
a komfu, everybody who judo should do karate or kuanfu.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It's a good combination of all.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Tree okay, so much so much like get from you like.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And like like.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
We can always follow with a second interview.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, okay, uh so okay, so so yeah, this is
a rocal place that's been around in the community.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's actually have a staples a five actually.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
More than that eighty two because we were across the
street if you remember.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Okay, okay, okay, so hmhmm.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I might follow up on that, but probably more about
you in the school, you tell me, because the more
I talk, every time I talked to Ernson new ilways
liked that about you, it talked it's a good thing. Okay, okay,
that's so. So here we are it is twenty twenty five, right.
The school is a bounded in nineteen.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Nine, yes, him in the area in nineteen eighty two.
Before that, we were outside of Hampstead Avenue.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Okay, okay, uh so, so I guess pretty much belong
to the short person of it is. If you can
as as as a britis as possible, it tell us
the the origin story, the come up story of the school.
Like how like let's just speaking like how we're.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Able to to establish it. You know, what childs would
you face if.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
What kinds of challenges when workers we occupy one building
on two twentieth Street, across from being a hole.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
On Jamaica Avenue.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
When we came to this building, we occupy now three
buildings connected. This is not one building, this is three
all connected. For kan fu karate and you're doing some
weight training as well. When I was acquiring this place,
they thought I was crazy because most martial arts school
is one building, So what do you need to be
building for? I can always grow my mind or My
(09:29):
vision was always to establish a multi purpose school serving
doing more than one discipline, not just one discipline, and
it has worked. Some discipline are more popular than others,
but karate certainly has been very popular for here for
Q and I because of.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I think it has a lot to do with my
influence and teaching.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I've had quite a bit of different different age group,
different nationalities have come through these doors. Irish, Portuguese, African, American, Haitian,
all kinds of uh.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
We can say that Kyoda is.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
A multi cultural environment because we take everybody from every group.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Talks about like consider the story success story student a student. Yeah,
or we have so many it's difficult to save many.
There are so many success stories for those who have
learned the martial art and went to the marine and
(10:33):
became number one marine. To be number one marine has
been very, very unique because to be number one marine
requires a fitness unlike any others. This young man went
to the Marine at eighteen and with his fitness from Kyoda,
(10:54):
he found that the training in the Marine Corps was similar,
not as intense as our training here and became number
one Marine. And that's certainly a success story I can
see about now. And there are many success stories.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
No, Okay, this gentleman UH is in Pennsylvania currently. He
is and to the law enforcement and does not want
to his name to be UH publicize, which is why
did not put his name out. And he wrote a
book currently and suddenly contributed his success to kill Die,
(11:32):
which is very impressive. We've had those who went to
DA who became DA and went under cover, all with
the cre Die background for self defense and the discipline.
Others have become surgeon lawyers and did kill Die and
worked training straight through law schools, straight to medical school.
And they always come back. They always have come back
(11:53):
to say hello to me. And and suddenly one of
the success story and my behalf, I think is because
we are here so long, I'm teaching some of the
kids of the kids I used to teach. So thank god,
I still have my fitness, I still.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Have my health.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I love training, and I'm teaching the kids of the
kids I used to teach, which is very unusual.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I'm scalping right now because one of the points I
made right about how the person we're talking about just
now said how the training of the middle of the
training marine for being a marine, it's not really much
compared to the training here, and that that is so true.
Give my personal experience, because because since I've enrolled I
(12:35):
first enrolled in the dojo, that I've been in school, right,
I've had gym, I've had gym classes, I've I've done
track and other of his activities. Right, And I gotta
tell you the training I'm not even exaggerating my saying
it is the training there, and that's that's no respect
to the gym or track or swimming or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But I got to I gotta tell the truth.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Man, it's not as intense nowhere near as intense as
if here. If if you can, if you can survive here,
you can survive pretty much.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
No, it's like because like I remember, there's a little secret,
like I once had summer school for Jim, right, because
you know I passed everything else with wine colors. Right,
But Jim, and the reason the reason why is because
you know, I was like, iused to cut school a lot, right, cool,
and I know, I know, but I've since modified my behavior.
(13:39):
But I tink I summer school for gym. And like
this guy, I remember, my mister, mister Fitz. He was
almost no love.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
He's like, you're here for Jim. Oh now it's a rap.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So he been much so so I was like, well,
I caused this, so I got suffer through it.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Right, It wasn't that bad. Everybody else is like I'm like.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
New York things.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, but yeah, like a basic thing.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I come here right, I'm ready, I'm I'm done as
as soon as I bow come out like mom, I
get right, it's too tired to walk.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So yes, it's not it's not.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
For the for the for the for the for the
things for the white people think, because oh yah right,
it's about violence and that there is more than that's
about discipline's about it's about mental dur Yes, endurance, definitely, mental.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Discipline, mental enduran. So if you have a strong mind
to the training, then you have a strong body.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yeah, and I've always believed that all my life and
uh an emotional we don't talk. We do.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Talking is cheap And I always remember something you said
that stuff. It's a lot of stuff with me, but
one one thing said that stuff about the times was
like we cry in here and we laugh in the streets.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
You crying the dojo and you laugh at the street.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Real quick, it's not I didn't write this down, but
I was wind taking those boat what it's like to
take a black space of taking a black bug.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Black Bull exam is unlike any others. We have a
curriculum which requires you to follow certain guideline, but it
is a test unlike any other. It's accumulative. It's everything
we've learned from day one all the way to the present,
and it has your child's and tribulation and we will
take you.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
To the end of your rope.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
It is not the kind of test you take and
you think you're going to get over in three months
or six months. It takes years to prepare and your
final year, which is the year you're going to be
really detested, you have to step up. And as to
step up, you have to do intense your curric Your
aerobic has to be up to power, your defense has
(15:56):
to be up to paw. Your fighting us to be
up to paw. Your cat does have to be up
to paw. Yourself defense have to be up to paw.
And you have to understand where you come from in
the carter, what what they charated do to you, how
they didn't influence your life. That's the paper you have
to write, and my favorite techniques and those things are
required because you need to look at the mirror and
(16:16):
see who you are. And part of being a black
belt is while you're minding, your body becomes one. So
you need to really reflect on your personal growth and
how you get there. And it's being judged between three
and five people panel and all black belts who will
judge you whether you pass or fail. And issue is
(16:37):
a pass or fail because there's no I could have
gotten it.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Either you do you want or you don't. You lose.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
And many people have failed, not as many because usually
don't send them for black belt until they are ready. However,
I cannot do it for them. They still have to
prove that they can do it. It's called the right
of passage.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Okay, okay, So what sets this dojo part from all
the under doors.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Which is life's life. We don't just kicking and punching.
We teach awareness. Excuse me, Whicheach awareness, which is self defense.
Fighting is not kicking and punching. It's to be observant.
It's to see what's going on around you, to be savvy,
to understand when you're being set up, to be under
to understand that you can walk around with your eyes
on your phone and walk down the street and walk.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Into a pole.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Is to always look around you. To be observant from
A to Z and to be alert. To be alert
is something we all need to do. And learning the
mortial lot it helps you driving because you play more
defensive drivings and you are more alert and understanding how
collision can happen, whether it is with a car or
with a fist in your face. You certainly have to
be alert, and these things mix. Martial arts here is
(17:51):
not about I pay and I get rank. You pay,
then you learn only when you're ready. Should you pass
the test or go for test. It is based on merit,
not based on the time you spend here. For the
time you spend you can be here twe years. It's
going to be a white belt. If you don't learn
it is what it is, okay, unless you quit then
(18:12):
that's fine too, because the ones that are in the
martial arts are fit.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
They have to learn to endure.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
And the benefit of being a black belt for exceed
when you're not the discipline, the the focus, the awareness,
the the accomplishment that you feel that you have achieved
is unlike any other You're.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Right, there might be there might be like a part
two to this. I don't tell you that, but for now, right,
I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Take the listener questions, you know, because I could spend on,
like internity, asking stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I have many years experience. I can give you a
lot of information.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Okay, so's so again.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
So I have a hotline, right, so cla why typically
why I record live? Right, they'll call in or text
in and I'll read it then. But also at the
same time, whether it's like this example, we're not live, right,
what whatever?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Live or not?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
They would alsoe like text call me ahead, leave a message,
text me a leave a voice message ahead of time,
and I'll like just collect them and all.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And make them.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Can you ask me a question?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
That's one?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So hot line is nine one seven to eight three nine.
I'll put the hot line all right, trace it again.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Seven to eight three eight nine six. So call live,
leave a text message or a voice message and for
a possibility to be heard on the ear because they'll
try my message. Sometimes you're seeing crazy stuff. I just
get canceled here. Okay, uh, this person asks uh using
the hot line, tell us about the different packages you
(19:52):
have to offer.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
The package US changes every month. We have the package
Reach offers a monthly show. The reason why we offer
special is because many people who try the martial arts
are not sure whether they're going to stick with it
or not. So the package that I offer right now
is a monthly plan which can offer a six weeks program,
five week programs even sometime during your summer, an eight
(20:17):
week program where you pay only one fee. You get
the first class free unlimited classes for that period, and
you get to don't pay registration which is about fifty
dollars for the year, and you get the uniform which
is about sixty to seventy hours value something even eighty
dollars if you're a big person, and you get that
for free. You spend the minimum amount of time and
(20:41):
the maximum return to see at the end of the
trial period whether you like it or not. If you
like it, you can continue by having a registration per month,
which is a lot less and you can and if
you're more than one member, you can get a discount
at least ten percent for the second member. So we
will take care of you, as I told you, the family,
So we are a group, but it has to do
(21:03):
with your desire to be here and desire to be
part of the family. And I guarantee you you will
never stop learning. For as many years as I've experienced,
I have a lot to offer you and so many
different levels. Like I said, we teach life. We don't
each kicking and punching on me. So the packages varies
moce of the time. I offered a three months six
(21:24):
months when your program, except that once the pandemic hit,
it became very negative because we were closed for six months,
and when it reopened, I owed people six months.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Eight months and there was no funds coming in. But
that was not my concern. The concern was to take
care the clientele, which was important.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
But since then we have a monthly plan and you
can suddenly take the packages that I offer and they
change every month, like I said, and you go from there.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
When did you what did you?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Was like started like okay, after the pandemic, right once
you start going back to normal.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Six months six months after the pandemic, we were able
to open, and of course we had to do social distancing, sanitize,
and certainly there was a lot of confusion in this period,
but we did okay, and we've been back since then
and the Kiodi is as dibrant as I before. Many
schools during the pandemic could not reopen for one reason
(22:18):
or another, whether it's the landlord or whether it is
the issues of people coming back to training.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
We've been fine. We're no longer.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
We don't have the same number amount of people that
we have pre pandemic, but our share of student now
is in the large junior and adult population. Once of
the time kids were most well a lot here. Now
we have some of it, but not like before.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I want to tattle so badly. I know who works
with this question. We're not going to privacy. Can there
be a kaled I karate though our ego.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Sure kiod is not me. I am the one who
and vision quo die. But who makes you die or
the students the student body. The people that are killed
die are the ones that trained every day. They are
the one the spirit of cure die. I am just
the visionary of cure Die. I am sure cred I
(23:16):
can continue without me, providing you have a proper head instructor,
who has vision, who is dedicated like I am dedicated,
who has the love of the martial art. As you know,
love is passion, and you cannot do something without love
and passion. Uh and teaches life, not just kicking and punching.
Anybody can teach kicking and punching, but to realize and
(23:37):
think and understand creates a little bit more than to
have more dedication. So the answers, yes, QUDA can survive
with In fact, there's a que die in Puerto Rico,
no connection to here, but there is a People have
used that name before, but not cured of my or. Okay,
I hope I answer you or not with no conce
(24:00):
We probably had the same vision, brothers and sisters, mentality, family.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Okay, okay, this for me, I agaized questions from the next.
You once said that we'll never retire because retiring is
waiting for depth.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Yeah that's kind of drastic, but I like to think
of retirement as waiting to being put to pasture.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Do what you want.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
But since then, I've thought about it I think, I
like as retirement after age sixty five or sixty you
have to redefine life for you. You know, the kids
are not the same. The kids are grown, your job
is no longer worth your job. You're doing other things
that pleases you. You don't have the same financial issues that
you had when you were younger. There's a lot of
(24:44):
changes in your life. I like to think of it
as redefining life. And but as you define life, you
need one one thing for sure, purpose and teaching gives
me life. Teaching helps me give some of the knowledge
to the younger people. And one of the things I
always think of it as I am a candle, and
(25:04):
by teaching people knowledge, I light their candle so that
they can light other people's candle and then the knowledge
keep growing.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Okay, were almost almost got people more questions than close. Uh,
tell me about your influences in terms of well, I
know one of them was your your sense, your sense a.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Personal influence of people have influenced this.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Again, people have influenced you.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Okay, people have influenced me, probably my instructor. My instructor
probably was one of my biggest influence because but it
was also a challenge because when I first met him,
he didn't speak any English, so it didn't matter what
he said. What he said didn't make any sense anyway.
He spoke Japanese. He was Japanese. Name is Toto Miyazaki,
and uh he spoke Japanese. So but he was a
(25:56):
very unique individual. If you had blank your eyes, you probably.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
This is one of his moves. He was that fast
and it was almost supernatural. Almost.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
However, one can say that he influenced me the most
because his attitude, his determination. He taught me more than
I even thought I would have learned. But because I
had gotten beat up and he was my instructor, there
was no quitting, no matter what the exercise were, the
(26:25):
punishment were. And we fought in that era with that equipment.
We fought bare fist and if you get hit, you
get hit, and that's just the way it was. And
he was a very strong disciplinarian. He taught with something
called shannai. The shanai is a candle sword, and you
didn't move correctly, you get worked and you wanted. After that,
(26:49):
you start getting shaped up. He passes by, you know
you're in the right position. If not, you feel the shannai.
So I've learned it the hard way, and I became
among those who became very influential in terms of training
with other people who had the same mentality, and they
became they made me who I became. And we were
(27:10):
a group of of pussy cat that became tigers, and
we bat everybody, and there was no such thing as
take prisoners.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
We took no prisoners.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
So when we fought, we thought hard, whether it was
a competition or in the dojo, And if you had
an altercation in the street, it was really a piece
of key. And we tried not to have altercation because
the martial art is not for being a bully, but
defending oneself. And if you defend yourself, you stay at peace.
But when trouble comes your way, you deal with it accordingly.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Head on.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
The Reagi among the karate kids, a quit kid. He
was acted by Daniel. Why do you like to fight?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Hate fighting? I think I don't want to fight.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
When you're strong, you have to prove anybody as frong,
that's what it is. But if you're weak, you have
to prove everybody that you strong. That's the easiest way
to bury you because you never know who you're gonna
whose door you're gonna knock on?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Tell us about tells, not the books you wrote. I
also love them. Right.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I was ca authorned many books, and the most the most.
The book that is the most was the.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Most popular of all the books which I wrote, was
the Sweeping book. It's how to sweep someone of their feet.
You can sweep one leg, you can sweep both legs.
You can sweep people the way they cannot break the falls.
In fact, that's unique because they say, once you swept,
you can actually fall and break the fall. Well, there
are times when you can actually get thrown and there's
(28:43):
no such thing as breaking the fall because you're leaning
on your neck or you're eating on your back. Not
the kind of thing you want to do to people,
but the kind of thing that is very unique in
terms of a person needs to learn, and a person
who will learn those kinds of things must learn to
respect these things, because many of these things you learn
as power is not designed to hurt people, but rather
to defend yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Okay, I'll be nice this last minute, Chris, but I'll
ask your questions.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Okay. The hotline is nine one, seven, two, eight three
nine five six. All right, he said, somewhere else. I'm
working them, but in my power. Chris, I love you,
so I'm gonna I'm gonna forgive you this one time.
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Uh I can say his name because he's a rather
part of the show.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
How did you get started?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
What made you decide that this was something you were
practicing and teaching?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
In life, you have different stages. My journey started by
me getting beat up and running out to fight. Then
my second phase was to be among the best black
bolt in New York State and the nation.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I achieved that.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Then my next phase was to open a school if
I could, and I did. We orders of the different
issues that I had to open a school when people
told me no, why we need to because there is
no job description on how to open a Charatei school
to be a Karatei teacher. There is no such thing
as a job description. So I created all these times.
So my next phase was to open a school, then
(30:17):
to be a good teacher, then to be the best teacher,
and to to give to give students something that no
other school can give. Furthermore, I want to make them
a great citizen. And part of being not only a
martial audists. But a person who stands tall, who graduates college,
who can achieve many things in life.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
And that has been my goal, and I think I've
succeeded in that.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
So when you look back, I can tell its many phases.
Till this day, one of my biggest enjoyment is to
achieve the kids. Or I used to teach when my
father was here, when he was fifteen. My father was
he was sixteen, and you know, he used to drag
me over the floor and I hit every wall.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
They made me sound like I'm some huge giant. Obviously
during that time, I don't think think so, but I was.
I was actually sparring with them, having fun with them.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Till this day. I changed my way of I've changed
my mentality somewhat once of a time.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
If you're going to go to the sun, you only
have to add east. Well, right now, I feel that
you can go to the sun whether you're from the west,
north or south. It doesn't know how to be only
from the east. But that's my philosophy. As I've gotten older,
I've gotten a little bit wiser in terms of how
to t teach and how to get through any mentality
that comes in front of me, because everybody can learn.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
It doesn't matter who you are. It's the approach of
the instructor that can make you.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I'll break you, Okay. A lot is very like that's
no questions.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
So are you?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Are you going to expand?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Many people ask me to expand, but I feel that
if someone wants to whenever you expand you it gets
diluted and you're stretching yourself.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I feel that I don't want, I don't need the
entire world.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I need to influence the ones that are in my nest,
the one that I'm my, my environment, or the one
that I'm concerned about.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I'm not concerned about people that don't know what do
I want to be extremely famous.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
I do believe that everyone I have got exposed to
me took something from me for their life, and they
can go on in life regardless of whether I am there.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Or not, for what I have put in them. And
that has been one of my accomplishings.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Whether it is my son, my daughter, or any of
my kids that I look as my sons or whom again,
Toyoda is family. They are my sons and they come
and someone tell me this is my uncle, this is
my nephew. Wait a minute, we are family in Kyoda.
Where does this honkok stuff come from? But in themostal lot,
even some of them when they bring me the alcunty,
you're well, that's your grandson or your granddaughter.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I said, okay, thank you. So it's very interesting and
all the above, see what I guess.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
The last thing for I close would be to asks
what's next.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Next?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
And my time is.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
To keep my health and keep helping the young people
and to make a difference in their life as long
as I can.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
From my left.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
For me, that's what's next. Keeping healthy is I'm still fit,
even though I have many many years enter the martial arts.
I do have my issues, knee issues, hahpe issues, but
I have battled each one of them on a personal level.
But right now I am better fit than most thirty
and twenty years and forty year old and better food.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Than they are. I can probably put them under the
bus anytime.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Push ups, sit ups, that's part of life.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
That's one of the discipline that you acquire in the
martial arts that stays with you no Monday, no matter
your age. Once you learn the discipline, it's almost like
the air that you breed. Martial art is the air
that you breed. You cannot do without it.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Okay, okay, uh, so it was done here last part
of me. Just why called plugs so like this?
Speaker 1 (34:25):

before they even bring their kids here. To really make
sure that they put you on the microscope, have nothing
to hide, and when they welcome to join our family,

Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's forty eight to make an avenue Queen's Village, right,
So tell us about the school.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
The school was founded in nineteen seventy nine, and the
whole idea of QO Die was to establish a family,
and the word kod means family and brothers and sisters
of the martial arts.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So it didn't matter what is your religion, color, or.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Height, or whatever your attributes sare, You're welcome to become
a cute I remember. But Kola had high standards, especially
if you become a black belt and our environment, and
we've had already since up to today, about two undred
and fifty black belts, and all of them are in
various places, whether it is the FBI, DA, law enforcement,
(03:17):
lawyers and all different states, we are everywhere. Doctors, we've
turned out doctors. We've turned out several surgeons and all
have studied martial art and grew up in my possession
and mine used.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That nineteen seventy nine. So that'll make it five years. Okay,
so forty five years. That's like two and I think
nothing over two generations.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Five years.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
We'll talk about the month. I feel like I was
for like twenty years. That every generation.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Twenty years puts you a whole new ball game to
every twenty every If you tent a five year plan,
if your group, you're okay, if you're a ten year,
that you're really very much separated.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay, okay, okay, So so after school, right, you know,
came over twenty seven black belts, some of which opened
their own door Jos and film success, otherware and martial arts.
Sure myself, and well I'm gonna say alumni, okay, like
cry though if you come back, it's still on one line.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
But if you're a black belt, you carry a different stature.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
God to God. Yeah, so I had for forty but
forty five years.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, forty years of dislocation. Okay, so forty five years.
This this place, I required it in nineteen eighty five,
but cureda was already in fact, was already in progress since.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
What's the other location across.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
The street from two twenty years street across from the
Bengal Hole in Queen's Village.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Okay, okay, so literally at the strength okay, So yeah,
this this makes us, This makes us porty fibers or
makes news.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
The school, well, the school is designed for multi purpose fitness,
from fusion fitness to judo which is grabbing, throwing, choking,
but not for the Olympics, but for survival. And we
have kung fu, which is kung fu campo kung fu.
Campo is also martial arts, but Chinese style, and it
(05:33):
exposes you and to the different Chinese maneuvers, leg maneuvers,
hand maneuvers different from karate. Karate is also cell defense
which we also offer juniors kids some six years old enough.
Some people take him at four and five, which is
babysitting for me.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It's not enough.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I rather from six years old and up and all
the way to age eight. And we have a big
junior population and all learning to defend themselves. Uh, to
survive in the street and to be to be to
be self and have self confidence.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Self confidence is very important.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
And certainly they are fit and they're enjoying the martial
art as they're learning to grow enter the martial arts
which will serve them as discipline with the entire life.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Okay, what what's what's using?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Fusion fitness is a combination of of exercises.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's not just push up and sit up.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
It changes every single time, whether it is leg raises, uh, burpes,
push ups, set ups, different kind of sit ups, using
some weight training, some strength training, but a lot of
it is designed and for that your body does not
get used to any one particular kind of exercise.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's always changing.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Okay, okay, so fitness.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
What does the karate show?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Japanese style. There are many styles of of of karate.
The one Japanese style.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
It has a lot of.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
The hands in it, a lot of hand maneuvers and
feet maneuvers, but were also used the kicking as well.
Kicking combines with the hands makes you're a worthier opponent,
unlike taikondo, which is mostly legs. The kanfu is the
same kicking and punching, but the judo is strictly grabbing, throwing,
using your opponents against your opponents weighed against you, so
(07:22):
you're learning to bow your opponent's energy and use it
against them. It's not for everyone, but judo is very unique,
and I think everybody does corradation do judo. Everybody who's
a komfu, everybody who judo should do karate or kuanfu.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It's a good combination of all.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Tree okay, so much so much like get from you like.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And like like.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
We can always follow with a second interview.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, okay, uh so okay, so so yeah, this is
a rocal place that's been around in the community.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's actually have a staples a five actually.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
More than that eighty two because we were across the
street if you remember.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Okay, okay, okay, so hmhmm.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I might follow up on that, but probably more about
you in the school, you tell me, because the more
I talk, every time I talked to Ernson new ilways
liked that about you, it talked it's a good thing. Okay, okay,
that's so. So here we are it is twenty twenty five, right.
The school is a bounded in nineteen.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Nine, yes, him in the area in nineteen eighty two.
Before that, we were outside of Hampstead Avenue.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Okay, okay, uh so, so I guess pretty much belong
to the short person of it is. If you can
as as as a britis as possible, it tell us
the the origin story, the come up story of the school.
Like how like let's just speaking like how we're.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Able to to establish it. You know, what childs would
you face if.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
What kinds of challenges when workers we occupy one building
on two twentieth Street, across from being a hole.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
On Jamaica Avenue.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
When we came to this building, we occupy now three
buildings connected. This is not one building, this is three
all connected. For kan fu karate and you're doing some
weight training as well. When I was acquiring this place,
they thought I was crazy because most martial arts school
is one building, So what do you need to be
building for? I can always grow my mind or My
(09:29):
vision was always to establish a multi purpose school serving
doing more than one discipline, not just one discipline, and
it has worked. Some discipline are more popular than others,
but karate certainly has been very popular for here for
Q and I because of.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I think it has a lot to do with my
influence and teaching.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I've had quite a bit of different different age group,
different nationalities have come through these doors. Irish, Portuguese, African, American, Haitian,
all kinds of uh.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
We can say that Kyoda is.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
A multi cultural environment because we take everybody from every group.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Talks about like consider the story success story student a student. Yeah,
or we have so many it's difficult to save many.
There are so many success stories for those who have
learned the martial art and went to the marine and
(10:33):
became number one marine. To be number one marine has
been very, very unique because to be number one marine
requires a fitness unlike any others. This young man went
to the Marine at eighteen and with his fitness from Kyoda,
(10:54):
he found that the training in the Marine Corps was similar,
not as intense as our training here and became number
one Marine. And that's certainly a success story I can
see about now. And there are many success stories.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
No, Okay, this gentleman UH is in Pennsylvania currently. He
is and to the law enforcement and does not want
to his name to be UH publicize, which is why
did not put his name out. And he wrote a
book currently and suddenly contributed his success to kill Die,
(11:32):
which is very impressive. We've had those who went to
DA who became DA and went under cover, all with
the cre Die background for self defense and the discipline.
Others have become surgeon lawyers and did kill Die and
worked training straight through law schools, straight to medical school.
And they always come back. They always have come back
(11:53):
to say hello to me. And and suddenly one of
the success story and my behalf, I think is because
we are here so long, I'm teaching some of the
kids of the kids I used to teach. So thank god,
I still have my fitness, I still.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Have my health.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I love training, and I'm teaching the kids of the
kids I used to teach, which is very unusual.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I'm scalping right now because one of the points I
made right about how the person we're talking about just
now said how the training of the middle of the
training marine for being a marine, it's not really much
compared to the training here, and that that is so true.
Give my personal experience, because because since I've enrolled I
(12:35):
first enrolled in the dojo, that I've been in school, right,
I've had gym, I've had gym classes, I've I've done
track and other of his activities. Right, And I gotta
tell you the training I'm not even exaggerating my saying
it is the training there, and that's that's no respect
to the gym or track or swimming or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But I got to I gotta tell the truth.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Man, it's not as intense nowhere near as intense as
if here. If if you can, if you can survive here,
you can survive pretty much.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
No, it's like because like I remember, there's a little secret,
like I once had summer school for Jim, right, because
you know I passed everything else with wine colors. Right,
But Jim, and the reason the reason why is because
you know, I was like, iused to cut school a lot, right, cool,
and I know, I know, but I've since modified my behavior.
(13:39):
But I tink I summer school for gym. And like
this guy, I remember, my mister, mister Fitz. He was
almost no love.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
He's like, you're here for Jim. Oh now it's a rap.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So he been much so so I was like, well,
I caused this, so I got suffer through it.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Right, It wasn't that bad. Everybody else is like I'm like.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
New York things.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, but yeah, like a basic thing.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I come here right, I'm ready, I'm I'm done as
as soon as I bow come out like mom, I
get right, it's too tired to walk.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So yes, it's not it's not.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
For the for the for the for the for the
things for the white people think, because oh yah right,
it's about violence and that there is more than that's
about discipline's about it's about mental dur Yes, endurance, definitely, mental.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Discipline, mental enduran. So if you have a strong mind
to the training, then you have a strong body.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yeah, and I've always believed that all my life and
uh an emotional we don't talk. We do.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Talking is cheap And I always remember something you said
that stuff. It's a lot of stuff with me, but
one one thing said that stuff about the times was
like we cry in here and we laugh in the streets.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
You crying the dojo and you laugh at the street.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Real quick, it's not I didn't write this down, but
I was wind taking those boat what it's like to
take a black space of taking a black bug.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Black Bull exam is unlike any others. We have a
curriculum which requires you to follow certain guideline, but it
is a test unlike any other. It's accumulative. It's everything
we've learned from day one all the way to the present,
and it has your child's and tribulation and we will
take you.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
To the end of your rope.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
It is not the kind of test you take and
you think you're going to get over in three months
or six months. It takes years to prepare and your
final year, which is the year you're going to be
really detested, you have to step up. And as to
step up, you have to do intense your curric Your
aerobic has to be up to power, your defense has
(15:56):
to be up to paw. Your fighting us to be
up to paw. Your cat does have to be up
to paw. Yourself defense have to be up to paw.
And you have to understand where you come from in
the carter, what what they charated do to you, how
they didn't influence your life. That's the paper you have
to write, and my favorite techniques and those things are
required because you need to look at the mirror and
(16:16):
see who you are. And part of being a black
belt is while you're minding, your body becomes one. So
you need to really reflect on your personal growth and
how you get there. And it's being judged between three
and five people panel and all black belts who will
judge you whether you pass or fail. And issue is
(16:37):
a pass or fail because there's no I could have
gotten it.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Either you do you want or you don't. You lose.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
And many people have failed, not as many because usually
don't send them for black belt until they are ready. However,
I cannot do it for them. They still have to
prove that they can do it. It's called the right
of passage.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Okay, okay, So what sets this dojo part from all
the under doors.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Which is life's life. We don't just kicking and punching.
We teach awareness. Excuse me, Whicheach awareness, which is self defense.
Fighting is not kicking and punching. It's to be observant.
It's to see what's going on around you, to be savvy,
to understand when you're being set up, to be under
to understand that you can walk around with your eyes
on your phone and walk down the street and walk.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Into a pole.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Is to always look around you. To be observant from
A to Z and to be alert. To be alert
is something we all need to do. And learning the
mortial lot it helps you driving because you play more
defensive drivings and you are more alert and understanding how
collision can happen, whether it is with a car or
with a fist in your face. You certainly have to
be alert, and these things mix. Martial arts here is
(17:51):
not about I pay and I get rank. You pay,
then you learn only when you're ready. Should you pass
the test or go for test. It is based on merit,
not based on the time you spend here. For the
time you spend you can be here twe years. It's
going to be a white belt. If you don't learn
it is what it is, okay, unless you quit then
(18:12):
that's fine too, because the ones that are in the
martial arts are fit.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
They have to learn to endure.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
And the benefit of being a black belt for exceed
when you're not the discipline, the the focus, the awareness,
the the accomplishment that you feel that you have achieved
is unlike any other You're.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Right, there might be there might be like a part
two to this. I don't tell you that, but for now, right,
I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Take the listener questions, you know, because I could spend on,
like internity, asking stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I have many years experience. I can give you a
lot of information.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Okay, so's so again.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
So I have a hotline, right, so cla why typically
why I record live? Right, they'll call in or text
in and I'll read it then. But also at the
same time, whether it's like this example, we're not live, right,
what whatever?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Live or not?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
They would alsoe like text call me ahead, leave a message,
text me a leave a voice message ahead of time,
and I'll like just collect them and all.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And make them.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Can you ask me a question?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
That's one?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So hot line is nine one seven to eight three nine.
I'll put the hot line all right, trace it again.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Seven to eight three eight nine six. So call live,
leave a text message or a voice message and for
a possibility to be heard on the ear because they'll
try my message. Sometimes you're seeing crazy stuff. I just
get canceled here. Okay, uh, this person asks uh using
the hot line, tell us about the different packages you
(19:52):
have to offer.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
The package US changes every month. We have the package
Reach offers a monthly show. The reason why we offer
special is because many people who try the martial arts
are not sure whether they're going to stick with it
or not. So the package that I offer right now
is a monthly plan which can offer a six weeks program,
five week programs even sometime during your summer, an eight
(20:17):
week program where you pay only one fee. You get
the first class free unlimited classes for that period, and
you get to don't pay registration which is about fifty
dollars for the year, and you get the uniform which
is about sixty to seventy hours value something even eighty
dollars if you're a big person, and you get that
for free. You spend the minimum amount of time and
(20:41):
the maximum return to see at the end of the
trial period whether you like it or not. If you
like it, you can continue by having a registration per month,
which is a lot less and you can and if
you're more than one member, you can get a discount
at least ten percent for the second member. So we
will take care of you, as I told you, the family,
So we are a group, but it has to do
(21:03):
with your desire to be here and desire to be
part of the family. And I guarantee you you will
never stop learning. For as many years as I've experienced,
I have a lot to offer you and so many
different levels. Like I said, we teach life. We don't
each kicking and punching on me. So the packages varies
moce of the time. I offered a three months six
(21:24):
months when your program, except that once the pandemic hit,
it became very negative because we were closed for six months,
and when it reopened, I owed people six months.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Eight months and there was no funds coming in. But
that was not my concern. The concern was to take
care the clientele, which was important.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
But since then we have a monthly plan and you
can suddenly take the packages that I offer and they
change every month, like I said, and you go from there.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
When did you what did you?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Was like started like okay, after the pandemic, right once
you start going back to normal.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Six months six months after the pandemic, we were able
to open, and of course we had to do social distancing, sanitize,
and certainly there was a lot of confusion in this period,
but we did okay, and we've been back since then
and the Kiodi is as dibrant as I before. Many
schools during the pandemic could not reopen for one reason
(22:18):
or another, whether it's the landlord or whether it is
the issues of people coming back to training.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
We've been fine. We're no longer.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
We don't have the same number amount of people that
we have pre pandemic, but our share of student now
is in the large junior and adult population. Once of
the time kids were most well a lot here. Now
we have some of it, but not like before.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I want to tattle so badly. I know who works
with this question. We're not going to privacy. Can there
be a kaled I karate though our ego.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Sure kiod is not me. I am the one who
and vision quo die. But who makes you die or
the students the student body. The people that are killed
die are the ones that trained every day. They are
the one the spirit of cure die. I am just
the visionary of cure Die. I am sure cred I
(23:16):
can continue without me, providing you have a proper head instructor,
who has vision, who is dedicated like I am dedicated,
who has the love of the martial art. As you know,
love is passion, and you cannot do something without love
and passion. Uh and teaches life, not just kicking and punching.
Anybody can teach kicking and punching, but to realize and
(23:37):
think and understand creates a little bit more than to
have more dedication. So the answers, yes, QUDA can survive
with In fact, there's a que die in Puerto Rico,
no connection to here, but there is a People have
used that name before, but not cured of my or. Okay,
I hope I answer you or not with no conce
(24:00):
We probably had the same vision, brothers and sisters, mentality, family.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Okay, okay, this for me, I agaized questions from the next.
You once said that we'll never retire because retiring is
waiting for depth.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Yeah that's kind of drastic, but I like to think
of retirement as waiting to being put to pasture.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Do what you want.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
But since then, I've thought about it I think, I
like as retirement after age sixty five or sixty you
have to redefine life for you. You know, the kids
are not the same. The kids are grown, your job
is no longer worth your job. You're doing other things
that pleases you. You don't have the same financial issues that
you had when you were younger. There's a lot of
(24:44):
changes in your life. I like to think of it
as redefining life. And but as you define life, you
need one one thing for sure, purpose and teaching gives
me life. Teaching helps me give some of the knowledge
to the younger people. And one of the things I
always think of it as I am a candle, and
(25:04):
by teaching people knowledge, I light their candle so that
they can light other people's candle and then the knowledge
keep growing.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Okay, were almost almost got people more questions than close. Uh,
tell me about your influences in terms of well, I
know one of them was your your sense, your sense a.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Personal influence of people have influenced this.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Again, people have influenced you.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Okay, people have influenced me, probably my instructor. My instructor
probably was one of my biggest influence because but it
was also a challenge because when I first met him,
he didn't speak any English, so it didn't matter what
he said. What he said didn't make any sense anyway.
He spoke Japanese. He was Japanese. Name is Toto Miyazaki,
and uh he spoke Japanese. So but he was a
(25:56):
very unique individual. If you had blank your eyes, you probably.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
This is one of his moves. He was that fast
and it was almost supernatural. Almost.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
However, one can say that he influenced me the most
because his attitude, his determination. He taught me more than
I even thought I would have learned. But because I
had gotten beat up and he was my instructor, there
was no quitting, no matter what the exercise were, the
(26:25):
punishment were. And we fought in that era with that equipment.
We fought bare fist and if you get hit, you
get hit, and that's just the way it was. And
he was a very strong disciplinarian. He taught with something
called shannai. The shanai is a candle sword, and you
didn't move correctly, you get worked and you wanted. After that,
(26:49):
you start getting shaped up. He passes by, you know
you're in the right position. If not, you feel the shannai.
So I've learned it the hard way, and I became
among those who became very influential in terms of training
with other people who had the same mentality, and they
became they made me who I became. And we were
(27:10):
a group of of pussy cat that became tigers, and
we bat everybody, and there was no such thing as
take prisoners.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
We took no prisoners.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
So when we fought, we thought hard, whether it was
a competition or in the dojo, And if you had
an altercation in the street, it was really a piece
of key. And we tried not to have altercation because
the martial art is not for being a bully, but
defending oneself. And if you defend yourself, you stay at peace.
But when trouble comes your way, you deal with it accordingly.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Head on.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
The Reagi among the karate kids, a quit kid. He
was acted by Daniel. Why do you like to fight?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Hate fighting? I think I don't want to fight.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
When you're strong, you have to prove anybody as frong,
that's what it is. But if you're weak, you have
to prove everybody that you strong. That's the easiest way
to bury you because you never know who you're gonna
whose door you're gonna knock on?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Tell us about tells, not the books you wrote. I
also love them. Right.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I was ca authorned many books, and the most the most.
The book that is the most was the.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Most popular of all the books which I wrote, was
the Sweeping book. It's how to sweep someone of their feet.
You can sweep one leg, you can sweep both legs.
You can sweep people the way they cannot break the falls.
In fact, that's unique because they say, once you swept,
you can actually fall and break the fall. Well, there
are times when you can actually get thrown and there's
(28:43):
no such thing as breaking the fall because you're leaning
on your neck or you're eating on your back. Not
the kind of thing you want to do to people,
but the kind of thing that is very unique in
terms of a person needs to learn, and a person
who will learn those kinds of things must learn to
respect these things, because many of these things you learn
as power is not designed to hurt people, but rather
to defend yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Okay, I'll be nice this last minute, Chris, but I'll
ask your questions.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Okay. The hotline is nine one, seven, two, eight three
nine five six. All right, he said, somewhere else. I'm
working them, but in my power. Chris, I love you,
so I'm gonna I'm gonna forgive you this one time.
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Uh I can say his name because he's a rather
part of the show.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
How did you get started?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
What made you decide that this was something you were
practicing and teaching?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
In life, you have different stages. My journey started by
me getting beat up and running out to fight. Then
my second phase was to be among the best black
bolt in New York State and the nation.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I achieved that.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Then my next phase was to open a school if
I could, and I did. We orders of the different
issues that I had to open a school when people
told me no, why we need to because there is
no job description on how to open a Charatei school
to be a Karatei teacher. There is no such thing
as a job description. So I created all these times.
So my next phase was to open a school, then
(30:17):
to be a good teacher, then to be the best teacher,
and to to give to give students something that no
other school can give. Furthermore, I want to make them
a great citizen. And part of being not only a
martial audists. But a person who stands tall, who graduates college,
who can achieve many things in life.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
And that has been my goal, and I think I've
succeeded in that.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
So when you look back, I can tell its many phases.
Till this day, one of my biggest enjoyment is to
achieve the kids. Or I used to teach when my
father was here, when he was fifteen. My father was
he was sixteen, and you know, he used to drag
me over the floor and I hit every wall.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
They made me sound like I'm some huge giant. Obviously
during that time, I don't think think so, but I was.
I was actually sparring with them, having fun with them.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Till this day. I changed my way of I've changed
my mentality somewhat once of a time.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
If you're going to go to the sun, you only
have to add east. Well, right now, I feel that
you can go to the sun whether you're from the west,
north or south. It doesn't know how to be only
from the east. But that's my philosophy. As I've gotten older,
I've gotten a little bit wiser in terms of how
to t teach and how to get through any mentality
that comes in front of me, because everybody can learn.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
It doesn't matter who you are. It's the approach of
the instructor that can make you.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I'll break you, Okay. A lot is very like that's
no questions.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
So are you?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Are you going to expand?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Many people ask me to expand, but I feel that
if someone wants to whenever you expand you it gets
diluted and you're stretching yourself.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I feel that I don't want, I don't need the
entire world.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I need to influence the ones that are in my nest,
the one that I'm my, my environment, or the one
that I'm concerned about.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I'm not concerned about people that don't know what do
I want to be extremely famous.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
I do believe that everyone I have got exposed to
me took something from me for their life, and they
can go on in life regardless of whether I am there.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Or not, for what I have put in them. And
that has been one of my accomplishings.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Whether it is my son, my daughter, or any of
my kids that I look as my sons or whom again,
Toyoda is family. They are my sons and they come
and someone tell me this is my uncle, this is
my nephew. Wait a minute, we are family in Kyoda.
Where does this honkok stuff come from? But in themostal lot,
even some of them when they bring me the alcunty,
you're well, that's your grandson or your granddaughter.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I said, okay, thank you. So it's very interesting and
all the above, see what I guess.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
The last thing for I close would be to asks
what's next.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Next?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
And my time is.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
To keep my health and keep helping the young people
and to make a difference in their life as long
as I can.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
From my left.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
For me, that's what's next. Keeping healthy is I'm still fit,
even though I have many many years enter the martial arts.
I do have my issues, knee issues, hahpe issues, but
I have battled each one of them on a personal level.
But right now I am better fit than most thirty
and twenty years and forty year old and better food.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Than they are. I can probably put them under the
bus anytime.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Push ups, sit ups, that's part of life.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
That's one of the discipline that you acquire in the
martial arts that stays with you no Monday, no matter
your age. Once you learn the discipline, it's almost like
the air that you breed. Martial art is the air
that you breed. You cannot do without it.
