Brief History of Bushi Dojo from Argentina and Sensei Muņoz

Before introducing myself I want to thank the GKK for having opened the door of this prestigious organization to us. We feel honoured and at the same time this represents a great challenge to us. Each of us will put our best in order to represent it in the best possible way.

     Regarding my experience in martial arts, at the age of six I wanted to learn karate, but I was not accepted because the requirement to start was to be twelve years old at least. I was so eager to start something that my parents sent me to a judo school. I spent some time there, but I still felt that karate was what I really wanted.

     When I turned twelve I heard that a karate dojo was being established close to my house, so in December of 1974, I started with our practice. This first step in karate got me involved with the practice of  Kyokushin kai style, created by Sosai Masutatsu Oyama.

Did You Know?

  Did You Know that all students are required to submit a completed GKK Membership Application at their first class?  Not only is this one of our standard practices but it is also very important to have that document on file in the unfortunate and unlikely event that a student is injured and pursues legal action.  Be conscientious.

 
Photo Disc Still Available

     Due to the unexpected demand for our GKK 50th Celebration Photo Disc, we have extended the deadline until October 20th.  The disc contains nearly 600 photos of the event.  A perfect way to remember the event, make your own photo copies or just watch on the DVD player.

     The price is $15.00.  Send orders to;  Mr Rich Stamper, 4450 LuAnn Avenue, Toledo, OH  43623

Toledo Annual Tournament

We have reserved Saturday, March 27th for the annual tournament and Sunday, March 28th for an area-wide promotion and seminar (provided that Mr. Yamakura is available).

     I was particularly encouraged by the interest that our members showed in the kata tournament at the GKK 50th reunion. I’m hoping that many of our members will desire to get together again at this event and rekindle friendships as they engage in friendly competition.

     Are there any suggestions that you have that might create a greater interest for our GKK members? Are there any divisions that we could add etc?

Martial Quotes
"You may train for a long time, but if you merely move your hands and feet and jump up and down like a puppet, learning karate is not very different from learning a dance. You will never have reached the heart of the matter; you will have failed to grasp the quintessence of karate-do." -- Gichin Funakoshi
