Press Release Body = Sandor Urban, owner of Sandor Urban's US Kenpo Kai announced
today that the school has joined with the U. S. Department of Health and Human
Services and the National Institutes of Health to distribute important health and
lifestyle information to its adult students and all members of the community, as
part of a community-wide campaign to reduce adult obesity.

"Did you know that according to both the University Of Missouri and American College
Of Sports Medicine that by 2044 every American child, and by 2058, every American
adult will be clinically obese? Recent studies show that already more than 65% of
the population is currently either clinically obese or overweight. We are well on
our way to undoing the tremendous gains in average life expectancy that we have made
in the last half century! January is that traditional time of the year to make New
Year's resolutions about health, physical activity and weight loss, except too many
of us quickly return to old habits, loosing focus of our goals," said Urban. "Our
martial arts school is being proactive, however, by providing our adult students and
all other adults with important information about how to combat adult obesity.
Health and fitness are important elements of martial arts training, but we want to
give our adult students even more, so we decided to seek the help of the experts at
HH
S and NIH."

Results of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 1999-2002
indicate that an estimated 30 percent of U.S. adults 20 years of age and older (more
than 60 million people) are obese. An estimated 65 percent (approximately 130
million) are either overweight or obese.

"Overweight" and "obesity" are both labels for ranges of weight that are greater
than what is generally considered healthy for a given height. The terms also
identify ranges of weight that have been shown to increase the likelihood of certain
diseases and other health problems. For adults, overweight and obesity ranges are
determined by using weight and height to calculate a number called the "body mass
index" (BMI). An adult who has a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight; a
BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.

According to Urban, the school is distributing information that will help adults
work toward the three simple goals recommended by HHS, NIH and other agencies, such
as Centers for Disease Control. Those goals are aim for a healthy weight, be active
and eat well.

"These goals may be simply stated, but many busy adults have difficulty focusing on
a regimen that will result in better health," said Urban. "Most adults with whom I
speak know they must take action, but don't often know exactly what action and need
a structured, motivating program to be disciplined. That is the void our school
fills for adults throughout the community. We're ready to provide the information,
motivation and exercise they need."

"I remember coming to my first class wondering what I had gotten myself into. I was
actually having second thoughts on my way upstairs. I kept telling myself that I
didn\'t have the time or that I wasn\'t in good enough shape (I was 35-40 pounds
heavier at the time). These negative thoughts quickly disappeared as I easily got
through the class and found myself enjoying it tremendously. A couple of months
later I earned my yellow belt. I\'ll never forget it. I was very proud that I had
actually gotten off of my butt to do something I wanted to do and was getting in
pretty decent shape doing it." said Rudy Eguilior a Coral Gables resident.
