Thank You, Colonel Josh Bender:
It is with both gratitude and sadness that we say farewell to Colonel Josh Bender, who will soon be transferring to the East Coast, Maryland area.
Colonel Bender has been a valued part of our TAMA Martial Arts Jiu-Jitsu family, not only as a dedicated brown belt and martial artist, but also as someone who has generously shared his time, experience, and knowledge by helping teach our Jiu-Jitsu classes.
His willingness to step onto the mat and help others improve speaks greatly of his character. In martial arts, we often say that a person's rank is represented by the belt around their waist, but their true character is demonstrated by how they use their knowledge to help those around them. Colonel Bender has certainly demonstrated that spirit.
To Colonel Josh Bender, thank you for every class you helped teach, every student you encouraged, and every bit of knowledge you shared with our TAMA students. Your contribution has been greatly appreciated, and your presence on the mat will certainly be missed.
Although your journey is taking you from Ohio to Maryland, you will always remain a part of the TAMA Martial Arts family. The friendships and respect developed through Jiu-Jitsu extend far beyond the walls of the dojo.
On behalf of our instructors, students, families, and the entire TAMA Martial Arts community, we wish you continued success, good health, and happiness as you begin this next chapter of your journey.
Thank you, Colonel Bender, for your service, your friendship, and your contribution to our Jiu-Jitsu program.
Once TAMA family, always TAMA family.
Safe travels, Colonel, and may your journey continue both on and off the mat.
With Respect and Gratitude,
Grand Master Manuel R. Taningco

Kids Karate Sparring: Building Confidence Through Practice
Kids Karate Sparring gives children a safe, supervised way to put their martial arts skills into action. Through controlled partner training, students develop confidence, focus, discipline, coordination, timing, and self-control while learning how to respond calmly under pressure.
Sparring also teaches children valuable life lessons, including respect for others, good sportsmanship, courage, perseverance, and emotional control. Most importantly, the goal is not simply to win. It is to help each child become more confident, capable, and responsible while learning practical self-defense skills in a positive environment. TAMA Martial Arts
