Dear Reader,

Henri-Oh's Total Fitness & Karate Center serves as the home of the North American Kyokushin Organization (NAKO). NAKO is totally independent and autonomous from all other groups or organizations that are using the name Kyokushin Karate. Yet, NAKO enjoys a worldwide healthy relationship with instructors, branch chiefs and heads of various different organizations. NAKO boasts the largest number of schools where Kyokushin is taught as well as the largest number of student body under one leadership within North America.

Its members and affiliates travel internationally to train, to offer guidance, to referee and/or to compete. Among NAKO's greatest strengths are its ability to foster positive relationships among its members and associates as well as its ability to promote growth and harmony within its membership base.

NAKO's membership base grows monthly attesting to its ability to meet the needs of the progressive Kyokushin practitioners with whom it is associated.

The headquarters of NAKO is housed within close to 10,000 square feet of space at Henri-Oh's Total Fitness & Karate Center. The Center is co-ed and equipped with some of the latest in health and fitness equipment. The Aerobic Program at the center rivals that of any in Manhattan or at the most prestigious clubs in New York. Personal Training is offered by trained and certified instructors who undergo continuous performance review and upgraded training. Amenities of the center include locker and shower facilities, independent ladies and men's steam rooms, massage (by appointment) including a variety of other services.

You are encouraged to share your thoughts with members of NAKO, with other martial artists or other groups. We ask only that you keep the comments on a positive note and that no disparaging remarks be made towards other individuals, styles or groups. All are welcome.

Thanks for viewing the site and I hope you will make many more visits. Please share your thoughts with us.

Thank you!!!!

Kancho Henri-Oh
