Just checking in on everyone to see how the year is shaping up with
everyone and how your karate-do training is going?    Hello Chuck-
san!!!  Good to hear from you via the group!!!!

Hope this note finds you well and drop me a personal note sensei so
we can talk about another visit to Cincinnati!!!

Everyone drop me a note!
KOJF ( Karate of Japan Federation ) is now a member of WUKO ( World
Union of Karate-do Organization ).   If you go to the WUKO website
you will see in the newsletter KOJF listed as a new member and
accepted as such.  This is a huge move for us in the Hombu.

Anyway my book is selling well:  "Hidden Secrets of Karate-do" and I
have begun to work on my next book project regarding kata as well as
planning for a companion DVD to the first book.

For now....I hope this finds everyone training hard and learning
much!

Humbly, just me.

What an interesting question!
You know, a lot of times, things aren't what they seem.
You can dream of going to Japan or France, Etc, and when you finally
go there, it's not exactly what you expected...sometimes better,
sometimes worse,  but always different.   The same can be said about
a lot of things in life; married life, for instance, is never exactly
like you thought it would be.  Or the military lifestyle.  Or high
school, or retirement....or karate!  When I was about 10,  I wanted
to learn how to beat up a 12 year old bully, and I thought the
martial arts was the answer...neat...I would learn a couple moves,
break a brick & beat up a bully.  Now, 4 1/2 decades later, it wasn't
what I thought it would be.  I didn't know it would involve changing
the person that I was,  and I didn't know It would involve making
lots of new friends, traveling,  etc etc.   a persons' original
REASON to practice martial arts might remain  (self defense,
physical fitness,  Etc),  but it's like going on a trip;  you know
the destination,  but the route varies,  and the process of getting
there ends up being the main point!

I personally chose mental clarity because I am a student of Martial
Philosophy as well and therefore Martial Arts is a physical expression of
a deeper ideal for myself personally. I study Bushido, Zen, and other
philosophies of Funakoshi, Bruce Lee, David Lowry, and some Ki
philosophers. For me, this is the whole package, a melding of the
physical and the psychological, the body and the soul, the mind and the
heart, into one complete entity through physical and mental discipline
and study.

No problem at all. I believe there can be ENDLESS reasons to study
karate, or in your position, Teach karate. Its just nice to see
the "statistics" on why people study karate.

There are complete benefits from karate one can receive. While
gaining physical fitness, stamina, alertness, balance, etc, as well
as discipline and character, one can benefit by having mental
clarity and satisfaction.

Even after 10 hour work day, checking the mail to find piles of
bills, and other daily life issues, i enter the dojo and forget
about everything. It allows my bodys chemicals to relax, and my
emotions to fade away. I think anyone practicing karate will easily
find the benefits of karate such as physical fitness, etc. But those
who truely have a passion for karate are the ones that empty out
their days problems while focusing and meditating on karate.

But, what do i know, these are just MY opinions.
I am proud, and yet humble, to be a student of Sensei Holley, and
his dojo. I find nothing more rewarding than entering the dojo and
being at peace with myself.

Thanks!
Geoff Hill

Hello Everyone,
    Just touching base with everyone to see how you are all doing and
to also share with you that I have become a part of a new
association that is destined to become a part of a great tradition
in Japanese/Okinawan Karate-do.  The ISKK (International Seito
Karate Kenkyukai).   Here is the web address to take a look at the
beginning stages of what we are trying to do.  The ground work has
been laid and the growth has begun.  Please take a look and consider
it as a study group to enhance and growth your karate-do.  I am a
member of the "Shihankai" which will review prospective members and
their qualitfications for membership.  It is a traditional based
association with seniors as board members with legitimate historys.

Take a look at the links on the cincinnatishotokan.com website and the
bottom link has some interesting information and downloadable kata and
other video information that might be of interest as you have time.
The WTKA International website is also listed to visit.  Both pretty
interesting indeed.
Enjoy!
Humbly your friend through karate-do,

I thought I would drop everyone a note to take a look at another yahoo
group and see if you might be interested in getting involved as it is
a part of a "new" organization that I sit on the board of and is
headed into the direction of which most of us are looking in regards
to preserving the old ways of karate study and embracing what is new.
The people/sensei's that I have become involved with are credible and
knowledgeble.   Take a look and see if you might want to consider the
benefits of membership, if not now, maybe in the future.

www.seitokarate.com  is the website.

Hello everyone,
    Check out the link I am placing on the "Links" for the WTKA as
well as the one on my website under "links".  Really nice website.

Also please start your planning if you are interested in taking the
trip with us to Japan next year in late March '07.   Figure at this
point you will need about $750 for plane, $400 for hotel, $250 for
food and train transportation.   From there it is what you will have
to shop and explore you figure you will want to spend.  I think these
numbers are a good estimate.  Please contact me if you are interested
and I will put you on the list.  The plane fair I should have a good
idea of a more solid price by say, November, December or no later than
January. 

Have a great day!
