18th Capt. Tam Tourn Oct. 18, 2025

18th. Captain Tamara Long-Archuleta Memorial Open Karate Championships

October 18, 2025

This was our 40th Tournament that we have hosted. Our first ten tournaments were the HUB CITY OPEN KARATE CHAMPIONSHIPS in June dedicated to our Military (Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines, Coast Guard). After we lost our daughter in March 2003 we made the decision to make this 10th HUB CITY OPEN our last on June 7, 2003. After our first tournament we asked to the the United States Karate Alliance New Mexico State representatives. We hosted twelve USKA State Championships in November each year. That meant we were hosting two tournament a year for ten years. After twelve USKA State Championships we retired as the NM State Reps and started the Tammy Tournaments in October each year. This was our 18th Tammy Tournament. So 10 Hub City’s, !2 USKA NM State, and 18 Tammy Tournaments totals 40 tournaments!

Belen Goju Ryu Karate

Belen Goju Ryu Karate started in May, 1988. Our purpose has always been to teach the most effective street self defense in all ranges of combat, along with traditional Goju Ryu Karate. Our students are taught to work hard to improve themselves physically and mentally. We expect students to avoid physical violence except as a last resort, and to be good citizens in their families, school, or work.

Through consistent training at Belen Goju Ryu Karate students will develop a positive self esteem and self confidence, along with physical and mental strength to deal positively with daily life.
