Thank You from McCalls Tri-Pinnacle Arena!! I want to thank each person and everyone from my Dojo and The Dojo Organization!! Plus the American Karate Academies National Association . Plus I have to Thank Stunning & Brilliant for all their guidance and support . Thank everyone for all those supporting our tournament every year is without pay but as a labor of love for all those who love Karate more than AIR!
What an incredible milestone. March 28, 2026 marked our first-ever McCalls Tri-Pinnacle Arena, and it was our biggest event in 50 years. A heartfelt shout-out to everyone who supported, organized, competed, and attended.
Your discipline, skill, and sportsmanship shone in the McCall Tri-Pinnacle Arena. The up-close, personal nature of the fights reminded us what real fighting is about when it’s done with respect and safety at the forefront.
You brought energy, precision, and heart to every bout.
Your performances pushed the boundaries of technique and courage.
I want to Thank all organizers and volunteers! You kept the event on time and running smoothly, turning a vision into a flawless experience.
The backstage teamwork and communication were critical to success. We seem to attract Dojo’s who love Karate more than Air! Thank you for trusting our event that was fair and yes some see points different at time. We have to select and train our judges to be fair and enforce the rules.
To all the spectators, Your enthusiasm and encouragement created an electric atmosphere that amplified every moment inside the arena.
The sense of unity—innovation meeting tradition—was evident in every corner of our dojo and this arena.
To those earning the TRI PINNACLE ARENA patch**: Congratulations on stepping outside your comfort zone and earning this recognition.
This patch symbolizes grit, growth, and a commitment to evolving your ART & practice. Plus being the FIRST! There will never be another FIRST! Of course I had a SOME to tell me how stupid it was and people will not like it! But I remember the story of Albert Einstein when he failed algebra and people said he would never be a scientist and then what he was doing was stupid! Well the rest is history! Plus he made HISTORY!
May it inspire continued exploration and excellence in every future event.
As our Dojo motto says: “Where innovation meets tradition.” Thank you for embodying that spirit—honoring our heritage while pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve together.
We’re already looking ahead to the next chapter of McCalls Tri-Pinnacle Arena.
I take a deep bow of Respect 🙏 to all my Black Belts & students and parents and our fellow AKANA DOJOS & The Dojo Tournament league for your Help and Support! The future of Sport Karate is Well and Alive! Hanshi McCall🇺🇸⛩🔥🙏

We lost our Hero!! Chuck was an icon to all who studied!!

We lost our Hero!! Chuck was an icon to all who studied!!

It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.

To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, an incredible brother, and the heart of our family.

He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives.

While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and for the unforgettable moments we were blessed to share with him. The love and support he received from fans around the world meant so much to him, and our family is truly thankful for it. To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends.

We know many of you had heard about his recent hospitalization, and we are truly grateful for the prayers and support you sent his way.

As we grieve this loss, we kindly ask for privacy for our family during this time.

Thank you for loving him with us.

With love,
The Norris Family

Copied this from Sifu Martins Page, LOVE IT!!

Read this, READ THIS!

Beyond meditation practice, there is attitude. A beginner must learn to cultivate what is called, “the poise of a dying man”. What is this poise? It is the poise of knowing what is important and what is not, and of being accepting and forgiving. Anyone who has ever been at the bedside of a dying man will understand this poise. What would the dying man do if someone were to insult him? Nothing. What would the dying man do if someone were to strike him? Nothing. As he lay there, would he scheme to become famous or wealthy? No. If someone who had once offended him were to ask him for his forgiveness would he not give it? Of course he would. A dying man knows the pointlessness of enmity. Hatred is always such a wretched feeling. Who wishes to die feeling hatred in his heart? No one. The dying seek love and peace. McCall’s 2%~ LIFE WILL NEVER BE LONG ENOUGH!! Do it today!! MARK 9v23- IT IS POSSIBLE!!
