The World seems so full of hate and anger definitely needs some love and understanding

The Budo journey is very personal it’s about your personal growth don’t worry about what others are doing or not doing always lengthen your own line don’t try to shorten the line of others .

Goju Ryu History: This is the only film footage of Goju Ryu Karate-Do prior to the 1950’s! There are also very few books covering Goju Ryu from the pre-war period. And most of these are text descriptions, with very few illustrations.

The clip covers conditioning exercises - Hojo or Kigu Undo. Parts of Kururunfa Kata and Tensho Kata. Then lastly a brief glimpse of a group performance of Seiunchin Kata.

In The Kingdom Of The Blind, The One Eyed Man Is King.
Terry Dukes , also known as Nagaboshi Tomio.
Sensei Christian mentioned yesterday the time he spent being conned by this charlatan, the founder of the fake Karate style 'Mushindo'. Sensei Christian was a 'Mushindo' instructor for a few years in the late 1960's. The thing was, Dukes has a level of skill in the martial arts. We believe he had been a student of Kyokushinkai Karate, so unlike most martial arts conmen of the early decades of Karate etc, he had a demonstrable ability, which helped masked the lies he was telling. As I say at the start, : In the kingdon of the blind, the one eyed man is king. Dukes setup 'Mushindo' to be a cult....and conned and abused a great many people in the 1960's and 70's.
Here's a BBC documentary from 1974. Several years after Sensei Christian .had left.
More later.
