16.01.2022 Martial & Healing Arts are the same..............eventually what seems out of reach becomes yours to keep forever. All you need to do is train. NO EXCUSES

15.01.2022 Thoughts on being a just sensei. Upon Master Chojun Miyagi's death, Seikichi Touguchi wrote this commemorative poem: A tiger dies and leaves its skin. Although a living creature, an animal is not conscious of meaning in it's daily striving for sustenance and achieves nothing more than mere propagation of the species. When it dies it has nothing to leave but it's physical body which soon withers away to dust and bone. A man dies and leaves his name. As humans we are intellig...ent, sentient beings who plan, build and contribute to a civilization. The ordinary person contributes to the growth of a family, passes on traditions and experiences that enhance that growth. When death comes to that person he or she is remembered fondly in memories. A teacher dies and teaches death is indeed a most profound statement. With every move and moment of life a REAL teacher shows an example of how to live correctly and even in dying teaches that life and indeed death is precious. We should all strive to be such a teacher and by doing so leave more than just a physical body, or a fond memory, but a legacy of striving for perfection within ourselves. ~ Toguchi Seikichi, Showa 28.

15.01.2022 This is a basic drill for members to work on during these challenging times when visiting your dojo has become awkward. Remember a DOJO is anywhere you are practising.

14.01.2022 37 years ago Elsa Luckhurst brought her little daughter Rachel to my Karate dojo/home in Greensborough. With a wink of her eye she asked me to explain to Rachel that young girls are not allowed to study boxing. Mum was concerned about her perfect teeth ! I caught on and proceeded to tell Rachel that in the State of Victoria females need to be 18 years old to study boxing. She wasnt happy but I consoled her with an offer to teach her Karate until she was of age to enter the ring. She accepted, still here , now a 4th Degree Black Belt and runs her own dojo. It has been a joy to have her as part of our dojo and extended family. We wish you the happiest of this milestone Birthday. Lots of Love from Goju Ryu Kakurin Kan International photo taken in Kamakura Japan 2015 during Karate Training tour.

10.01.2022 "I always regret my lack of perseverance when young. I began to practice marital arts to strengthen my frail body but would invariably stop as soon as I felt th...e slightest bit better. Finally, thirty-nine years ago, bedridden with tuberculosis, I resolved to begin practicing and never stop againI practiced morning and night to ensure continuity and perseverance-though I was busy with teaching commitments and extracurricular actives. Every morning I practiced the form before I washed or ate and at night I went through one round before I slept. I made good progress and this routine soon developed into a daily habit. My philosophy was to joyfully assist others regardless of the personal sacrifice involved. How could I expect to benefit humanity if I lacked the perseverance to practice a few minutes every day to remain healthy?" - Cheng Man Ching, Master Chengs New Method of Tai Chi Chuan Self-Cultivation, trans. Mark Hennesy. See more

03.01.2022 Saddened today to hear the passing of my 88 year old Taiwan White Crane Teacher Master Zheng Jin Ying yesterday morning 17-06-2020 A rarity in the Martial Arts..., someone that films and legends talk about. Slight in stature, he projected a larger than life presence that all in his company felt. His authenticity and energy was incredible . He was the incarnation of his practice and lessons, not just a promise of what is possible through practice of his methods but the PROOF of it. We deeply appreciated his generosity , warmth, humour and on behalf of Goju Ryu Kakurin Kan International we Thank You and will continue to honour your lessons . We send our deepest condolences to his large family and students in Taiwan. See more
