Florida, the sunshine state, is a place where oranges aren't just an afternoon snack, but an ambiance of life. It's a place where alligators seem like grumpy old neighbors, sunsets are a daily invitation to a party, and white sandy beaches act like soft carpets welcoming the waves. In this bright corner of America, the kids are as lively and full of energy as a troop of monkeys on a sugar rush. They're not just running around playing tag, but they're also busy twisting, turning, kicking and hopping in Taekwondo uniforms. Meet our hero, Timmy "Turtleflip" Turner, a Taekwondo kid with a black belt and a green shell. Sure, he's not really a turtle, but his ability to flip and spin like one has earned him this quirky nickname. Imagine a turtle flipping smoothly in the air (while maintaining its dignity), that's our Timmy. He doesn’t simply "do" Taekwondo; he dances it, like a flamingo on a hot Florida beach. Timmy and his band of Taekwondo tornadoes aren't your average kids. They're like a batch of freshly squeezed Florida orange juice: punchy, zesty, and packed full of sunshine energy. They don't just break boards; they smash through Monday blues, homework troubles, and the evil Doctor Bedtime. But don't be fooled, it's not all high kicks and turtle flips. Occasionally they get their kicks mixed up with their chicken nuggets during lunch break, resulting in an interesting, albeit confusing, "food-fight" dance! So, welcome to Florida, where the gators are grumpy, the sun is a permanent guest, and the kids are busy saving the world, one Taekwondo kick at a time!

Karate has a long and storied history, dating back to the 18th century when it was first conceived as a mix of Chinese and Okinawan martial arts. The original “proto-karate” was divided into three major schools, Shuri-te, Naha-te, and Tomari-te, named after the cities in Okinawa where they originated. Over time, these schools have been innovated and expanded upon with new styles emerging as a result of the influence of Chinese martial arts and the expertise of its masters. Shito Ryu is one of the most renowned and widely recognized of these styles, being identified as one of the four major styles alongside Goju Ryu, Wado Ryu and Shotokan.
