Have you heard of ELDOA?

What Is ELDOA?

The ELDOA method is an innovative form of exercise developed by world-renowned osteopath Dr. Guy Voyer. ELDOA exercises consist of a series of specific postures aimed at relieving pressure and increasing blood flow around particular joints or spinal segments. This technique is a highly effective way to reduce pain, increase circulation, and improve posture, balance, and spine health.

We offer ELDOA classes at our dojang on Sunday (2pm) and Wednesday (11am).  Contact Cyndi Jolly for pricing and availability at 850-712-3799.

There will be no ELDOA class on Sunday, March 17 & Wednesday, March 20.

Let’s Help Our Neighbors in Need

This Week’s WOW (Word of Week) – Compassion

 Last week was such a roller coaster on the gulf coast. We are so glad that all of our families are safe. Our community dodged a major bullet.

However, we are feeling the pain and suffering of our neighbors in the Panama City and Mexico Beach area. To act on our word of the week, we are collecting the following items: Diapers, Feminine hygiene products, Socks, Toothbrushes, Underwear, Plastic storage containers large and small, Toiletries, Baby wipes, Contact lens supplies, Plastic cups/plates/containers and Prepackaged non-crushable snacks.

All items collected will be given to the PPD, who will be getting the items to the victims.  Thank you in advance for your compassion for those in need.

PTSDA Instructors Attend ITF Conference (Pittsburgh, PA)

October 5-7, 2018 – Masters and Black Belts from the PTSDA Karate traveled to Pittsburgh, PA to train with Grandmaster C.S. Kim at the ITF Instructor Conference and testing.  Under the watchful eye of the Grandmaster and the Technical Advisory Committee, the participants trained for several hours to ensure that their technique was of the highest quality.

Following the seminar, Master Chris Joiner, Kendall Chancellor, Andie Gibson and Adele Gibson did their re certification exam.  They all did a wonderful job.  According to Chris Dufour, “Being a Master or Black Belt at our school means that you have more responsibility not less.  I’m so proud that our advanced students embrace this philosophy of being the example. ”       

Everyone walked away from the event with a feeling of family, community and more practice is needed.  Keep alert to the ITF website for future federation events that you could participate.

This Week’s WOW (Word of Week) – Wisdom

Many moons ago, my family moved from Indiana to Delaware.  My father became the new minister at a local church and inherited a lot of problems.

The financially struggling Church had experienced a major split.  One of many poor decisions was to sell bonds.  I’ll never forget this sticker they had with an owl on it reading, “Be Wise Buy Bonds.”  Long story short, my father persisted with wisdom (unlike the sticker). Very slowly, the Church was able to get out of financial ruin and is thriving today due to my father’s wisdom.

We all desire to have more wisdom in our daily life.  Often times, we become wiser by learning from our own mistakes, victories and other life experiences.  My encouragement for this week is to become wiser in our daily lives. When faced with a situation, ask yourself, “What is the WISE choice?”

Take small steps toward becoming wiser in your daily journey. Good Luck!

This Week’s WOW (Word of Week) – Diligence

When was the last time you heard someone use the word, diligence?  It’s been awhile for me too. However, we see evidence of it in our society on a weekly basis.

Diligence is that consistent effort required to successfully reach our goals.  Here are three quick tips to help us be more diligent in our daily lives.

  1. Stay on Course – Distractions will come.  Build self-discipline to stick to your plan. BTW – do you have a plan?
  2. Track Your Progress – Nothing builds motivation more than when we are making progress towards our goal.
  3. Be Realistic – Being overly ambitious can lead us to disappointment which can lead us to not being diligent.    

Good luck this week in being more diligent.  Start small and take the necessary steps toward becoming more diligent in your daily journey!
