or coming and on the way. This is for everyone across the globe, not
only the Americas!

In this months primary subjects and matters we've received a large
amount of input regarding "The Golden Years - 1960's v.s. 2006
<http://www.gojuryu.net/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=53&thread_id=491&p\
id=5319#post_5319> ". Many of the players of yester-year are also
members of Gojuryu.net and we always enjoy their input and comparisons
"yesterday vs today". An interesting topic and subject matter ranging
from why the splits to who's really tougher. The topic comes with
perfect planning of the release of the New Book titled "Richard Kim:

Gojuryu.net Dojo Database:
As many new and old users find themselves leading their internet
experience to Gojuryu.net <http://www.gojuryu.net/> , we receive more
and more requests as to how to recover a passoword
<http://www.gojuryu.net/lostpassword.php> . If you have forgotten your
password <http://www.gojuryu.net/lostpassword.php> , please click just
below the log-on area and enter the email address you registered with.
The area will read "Forgotten your password
<http://www.gojuryu.net/lostpassword.php> ? Request a new one here
<http://www.gojuryu.net/lostpassword.php> ." From that point, please
enter the email address your account is registered with [which would be
the email address you may be receiving this newsletter if arrived at
your inbox]. A new password will be created and sent to that address.
For security reasons we cannot change your password or enter your user
account - even with your permission. We however can delete your account

Seeing success stories and messages from people explaining to us that
they would have never found a club or dojo had Gojuryu.net
<http://www.gojuryu.net/> not helped" is exactly why we exist.
Communication is the building block of humanity and at Gojuryu.net we
have plenty of ways to get in contact with others. In the Forums
<http://www.gojuryu.net/forum/index.php> as well as general membership
[which is free], some day it would be great to hear from the lurkers
[people that have registered and have plenty on their mind however
nothing to say] in the Introduce yourself
<http://www.gojuryu.net/forum/viewthread.php?rowstart=320&forum_id=15&th\
read_id=8#4934> threads. If you're already a user member and your
Profile <http://www.gojuryu.net/profile.php> is empty - "Edit Your
Profile <http://gojuryu.net/edit_profile.php> " add something; a region,
a city, an association. It all helps and has been proven to help build
the All Goju Ryu Network family. Think of it like this - would you
prefer those looking for a dojo or club to join the local McDojo and
their kids receive their 3rd degree Black Belt with the pink tiger
stripes as soon as they turn 8 years old? The Dojo Database & user
profile is fully index searchable via the search page and it's here for
your use.

Knowledge and tradition:
There is "Oral History" and then there is "Recorded History". Have you
ever asked your students or asked your Sensei "what is the history of
our organization in accordance with our style?" It's a darn good
question that each and everyone of us should be clear of. This comes as
a point because a group of us over at Gojuryu.net just happened to visit
a McDojo teaching "Tae Kwon Do". We specifically asked what type of Tae
Kwon Do they were teaching because a few of us recognized specific forms
from different root styles, Kuk Sool Won, Moo Duk Kwan and Chi Do Kwan
that others styles of Take my dough [ooops did we say that] may not
contain. How does this pertain to Karatedo - We reflected on a group
trip, some time ago, and stopping for a break at freeway shopping center
walked inth the local McDojo that just happened to be across town from
our host club, to admire members performing Ku Shan Ku, Gekisai, Ku Shan
Ku [Wado flair], Seipai [Shito flair], Unsu [Shoto], Seiryu and Kanshu
[Uechi]. You [and we] would immediately conclude "ummmm Shito Ryu" but
noOOOOooo. We asked a student when she was exiting "what style Martial
Art is this?" and she replied "Okinawan". ?!?!?!? The rephrased question
came again, "What type? We mean, is it Karate or?" She cut us off and
again said "Okinawan; our "Sifu" is [pointing to a picture on the wall]
the head of the 'World Sokeship Council' and this style was passed to
him by Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee." She was dead serious and held her
chin high and proud. We applaud her for setting us straight and just as
quietly as we walked in [no bowing, it would give things away] we walked
out. This story needs no explaination ............. we hope.

All New:
Recently we were commissioned to 're-invent the wheel'. Because of our
close ties to The JKF Gojukai <http://www.jkfgojukai.net/> we have
helped create The JKF Gojukai Networking Project
<http://www.jkfgojukai.net/> located at JKFGojukai.net
<http://www.jkfgojukai.net/> . Only the bare bones of the JKF Gojukai
Networking Project <http://www.jkfgojukai.net/> in operation however in
the very near future we should have host pages for each and every single
dojo in affiliation of the JKF Gojukai, including those in Japan and
abroad set up in a similar fashion as we have here at Gojuryu.net
<http://www.gojuryu.net/> .

Please return soon with your news, contributions, updates and contact
information.

Well everyone, 'till next month - from all of us at Gojuryu.net, the All
Gojuryu Network, thanks for your continued support.

Arigato Gozaimashita.
