This past weekend, I had the honor of attending and capturing moments from the 23rd Annual Winter Tuite Camp at the Athens Karate School, hosted by the esteemed John Shipes Hanshi. It was an incredible gathering of dedicated martial artists from five states and nine schools, all part of the OSMKKF family.
📸 From intense training sessions to celebratory rank promotions, it was a weekend filled with hard work, camaraderie, and achievement. Special thanks to Steve Apsega, Renshi and Tim Amey, Renshi, for helping to lead the weekend's training and sharing their expertise. Congratulations to everyone who earned their next rank, especially Mr Hank Kiser, who achieved full instructor certification—what a remarkable milestone!
It’s always humbling to witness and document such dedication to the art. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event so memorable.
👉 Whether you were in the action shots, receiving your certificate, or part of the group photo, these moments celebrate your hard work and the bond we all share as martial artists.
