Shihan Bambouyani ITKA Karate.
" In our conversation we may innocently offend someone. It is necessary to take time and be thoughtful, have an “appropriate, timely and tasteful” (att) response. This should prevent miscommunications. Humbly Shihan Bambouyani
"You may build your castle in the sky for a vision of excellence. That is a good aim. Now, you need to take action and put a foundation under." Shihan Bambouyani 7.12.10
“Spent time on people who matter the most. Thoughtfully appreciate your loved ones. Do something special together. If there is any prior issues with a loved one, try to get it resolved for a healthy relationship. When you communicate be positive, patient and sincere. Add humor when appropriate.” Shihan Bambouyani
“Wisdom: when you are aware, it may take time and you may struggle to ask or answer the right question. In case of a mistake, your awareness will kick in and help you prepare and learn. Do not criticize yourself or others for making mistakes. Learning from your present mistake will help you not to repeat the same mistake in the future. That is wisdom.” S.M. Bambouyani
Good news for sushi lovers. In Japan Himalayan salt board is slowly replacing the soy sauce for health reason. Hopefully soon after this will start in Chicago sushi restaurants.”

Sima Bambouyani |
My daughter Sima was born on Jly 27th 1992. So we will be celebrating Sima's birth day Wednesday July 28th 2010. 6:00 PM at the ITKA Headquarters 5945 Irving Park Road in Chicago. Losing mother and sister for Sophia and Mike and wife and child for me has been one of the most devestating experiences. We lost Sima and zahra (my wife) on December 2003 in a tragic earthquake in Bam while they were visiting. They were scheduled to return at 8:30 AM. but the Eartquake struck at 5:28 AM. Killed them along with many family and friends !
Please keep us in your prayers. Shihan Bambouyani, Mike and Sophia
