Tom Callahan Rank: How Long with MB Branch: Favorite Technique: Profession: Other Interests: What the Dojo Means to Me: Shodan Black Belt 8 Years Seiken Shita Tsuki (forefist upper cut) Music Business Professional Reading Martial Arts History, Music Kyokushin Karate challenges me mentally because of the strenuous training. I also respect and appreciate the traditionally-based way of teaching and begin taught. The constant challenges help me develop a better understanding of myself and my surroundings. Power Karate, where I train, is a place where I can come and feel at home, knowing that it is a temple for me to grow physically, spiritually and mentally. It is run in a very traditional way with strict rules and guidelines which keeps the integrity of an art intact, thus allowing it to continue unaffected.
