Captain Buzz is always on a mission. His mission is to scout out high prices and annihilate them. High prices are his target. Captain Buzz is trained well in the art of aerial combat and strives to perform his duties to the best of his abilities. However, Captain Buzz is not stupid. If he was a true Kamikaze, his first mission would be his last. Then, there would continue to be high prices he could no longer fight. (Captain Buzz has learned something from his American cohorts!) So in true Kamikaze tradition, he flies fearlessly toward his target and takes aim. When the high price is in sight and centered in his crosshairs, he fires. Just at the point of impact, he bails out. Thus, he’s not a true Kamikaze, but nevertheless a brave warrior in the fight against high prices. Captain Buzz invites you to check out all the reconnaissance he’s done lately in search of good prices for you. And remember: Captain Buzz is always out there fighting high prices!

And a little about us.... We are a store run by martial artists for martial artists, weightlifters, and fitness enthusiasts of all kinds. Opened in 1996, we put our money where our mouth is, and as such were corporate sponsors for Chuck Norris' Kick Drugs Out of America program in 1997. In 1999 we initiated a martial arts program for at-risk youth at Ryves Youth Center. The program was absolutely FREE to the participants and instructed by qualified martial arts instructors who donated their time until 2005. In 2000 we initiated the Vigo County School Corporation After School Martial Arts Program. At the request of Principal Rose Ann Brady, we enlisted the help of school owners Jim and Tana Fox and the program began at one middle school with seven students. The program has expanded to 7 schools with over 200 participants. We believe strongly in the power of good martial arts programs to help our youth, particularly young girls! It's very empowering for all children to learn the tenets of self-respect, self- discipline, self-control, and self-esteem. In 2006, we once again threw our support behind Ryves Youth Center and their boxing program with the Terre Haute Boxing Club. With the help of former professional boxer Terry Ray and a team of top-notch trainers and coaches, the Ryves Team is getting excellent training. We are very involved in our local community, the revitalization effort of our downtown, and the support of our local high schools and universities. We help promote local martial arts schools and fitness events, and maintain a bulletin board with a comprehensive listing of the area's martial arts schools. And we know full well that, if you look in the phone book, you won't find the vast majority of the martial arts schools in your community. There are 3 listed in our area phone book, yet actually 8-12 schools exist! You would only find that out by coming into our store and checking out our bulletin board. We seek out the small local schools, try to meet their owners and instructors, and help to promote them. You will never catch us stating that our website is the biggest, the baddest, has the most items for sale, and so on. We give it to you straight: we will never put an item in our shopping cart that is not something we carry. We will not take your money and HOPE to find it some place, as we've heard numerous horror stories from our customers. We deal with over 15 vendors for martial arts, boxing, weightlifting, yoga, sportswear and fitness, so if you don't see something you want, CALL US!!! (Toll-free 1-888-232-6577). We'll be glad to track it down for you. Special orders are a BIG part of our business. If you want to see our full inventory, visit our main store at 618 Wabash in Terre Haute, IN. How are we different from the
competition? We'll be glad to let you leaf through all of our vendor catalogs........and you won't find the prices blacked out or white stickers covering them..........we find no need to mark things up 300% or 400% as many will do. Besides.........when's the last time your
"local martial arts store" delivered an item to
your home? To your next tournament? Bugged a vendor for more than 6 months
(calling them EVERY WEEK!) to check on an item you just HAD to have? That would
be us!
