For those who could not take off from work, your efforts on behalf of our community is deeply appreciated. We met our goal of preparing and personalizing 3,930 holiday cards for the men and women of the Navy and Marines, who had to remain in Hawaii during the holidays away from their families. We worked with Navy League of the United States, Honolulu Council, Executive Director Jane Ferreira to provide holiday greetings for the 3,930 holiday gift bags made especially for these service men and women.

Mahalo to Lynda Asato, Alicia Nagasawa, Mary Sueda, and Jean Sugihara, who wrapped all the presents. We hope the gifts brightened all of these children’s holidays! A big mahalo to Weed and Seed Honolulu, the FBI – Honolulu and FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association - Honolulu, Locations Foundation, and an anonymous donor for their generous holiday gifts to 42 members of our senior center who live in Kalihi.

With their generosity, many more seniors will enjoy some holiday cheer this year. Mahalo a nui loa to Andie Farinas, a student at Farrington High School’s Health Academy, for organizing a facemask project. As a result of her and other students’ efforts and resources, they were able to gift over 200 face masks for our senior center members to use this Christmas! Our gratitude to Marie Muir, Girl Scout from Troop 873, for making a new bench for our senior center members to enjoy as her project. The bench will grace our front yard now for all to enjoy when we reopen! Office of Veteran Services Ronald Han also asked for LMPSC’s help in putting together homemade gifts for women who were recently widowed and unable to return to their home country. We were happy to do so! Kudos to Center Member Lorraine Chang for a superb piano concert on December 15th via our LMPSC conference call and for all members who “attended”. We also appreciated Center Member Judy DiBianco for the delicious candy making workshop she did on Zoom as well as former LMPSC Program Coordinator Dianne Lim-Tam and her daughter, Kayla, for their facemask making and holiday scone presentations. Excellent! Much thanks to Roy Goshi-Otaguro from MOA Hawaii for the fun flower arranging online event that taught us that the beautiful energy that goes into the arrangement is as important as the beauty of the flowers, fern and other flora. Mahalo a nui loa to the Roosevelt High School National Honor Society’s President Erin Katahira and club members for assisting our senior center with putting together 250 holiday bags for LMSPC member volunteers, who helped Lanakila and the broader community over the past year and a half. We were able to hold a Holiday Gift Bag Drive-Through for these 250 wonderful volunteers! We would also like to thank Islands Hospice for their unsolicited donation of $5,000 to Lanakila Senior Center. We are touched by their generosity. We would also like to publicly thank Harris United Methodist Church for their donation of $2,500 that allowed the senior center to upgrade their computer systems, so that staff computers now have a camera and speakers to fully participate in and conduct online activities. We are deeply grateful to McCabe Foundation for their donation of $20,000, which will, in part, go towards increasing the WiFi capacity at the senior center to fully support the growing number of online activities now available to kupuna hosted by LMPSC as well as help us purchase computer equipment to create a technology lending library that will allow kupuna to fully use technology to access online services and activities in the pandemic environment. A center member, Roberta Wong Leung, was the first member to contribute towards the establishment of this new center lending library by donating a brand new computer to the center. Our thanks to LMPSC member Dorothy Mau, who will be doing a Good Luck Ti Leaf Bamboo Cultivation Workshop; Kalihi-Palama Library Head Librarian Trisha Murakami and Liliha Library Head Librarian Linda Mediati, who will be educating us on all the library services available to the public; Reynold Hioki, who will be educating us on Cybersecurity; Roy Goshi- Otaguro from MOA Hawaii who will perform a Japanese Tea Ceremony; Dietician Stacey Breshear, who will educate us on Eating Smart for Kidney Health; Norman Kaneshiro, who will be taking us on a virtual tour of Okinawa to experience the Okinawa Gakumun Study Tour; and Chen Sitan, “Prince” of Tai Chi, who will do a special tai chi presentation for us. We are fortunate to have such a wide variety of knowledgeable people in our community that are willing to share their time and expertise with our senior center members and other kupuna statewide. Mahalo to Jamelyn Mau, who took time out from her college studies during her holiday break and taught 4 center members, in person, how to use their iPhone. Ryan Quemado and James Li from Lanakila Pacific for patiently helping 18 members of Lanakila Senior Center learn how to use their computers, iPads, cellular phones and other devices for the months of November and December. Joan Matsukawa and members of the Hawaii MacIntosh and Apple Users Society and members from the University of Hawaii’s Pre-Med Association for sharing their time and expertise to teach kupuna how to use their MacIntosh and Apple devices in January and February. This is such a valuable service and the seniors of Lanakila are so thankful for your kokua. May the beauty and wonder of the Season fill your hearts with joy and laughter and may you enjoy time with family and good friends. Best wishes for good health and may we always appreciate everything that we have in this lifetime … most especially, each other.

    JU-JITSU a BRIEF HISTORY and Its Connection To

    JU-JITSU A BRIEF HISTORY And its connection to Kobukai Ju-Jitsu Grappling as a form of self defense has existed for thousands of years. There are pictures of grappling fighting styles in Egyptian tombs dating from 2300 B.C. Beni Hasan Tomb - Egypt It is thought that Ju-Jitsu, as a formalized fighting methodology began in Japan around 880 A.D. A man named Teijun Fujiwara learned grappling and striking techniques from the Chinese and developed them to fit the battlefield needs of Japan. He taught these techniques to the warriors of the Minamoto clan. Yoshitoki Minamoto From these techniques developed two distinct methods of Ju-Jitsu. The first eventually came to be known as Aiki-Jujutsu. This type of Ju-Jitsu was for use by the military elite and members of the royal court, mainly while inside the castle or compound. The other method, called Jujutsu, Yawara, Kogusoku and other names was used by regular foot soldiers and was a rougher style. Both methods utilized the weapons of the day, along with unarmed techniques. By the 1400’s there were several styles of Jujutsu taught in Japan. The ones formed before the mid 19th century that survive today are referred to as Koryu, roughly meaning “ancient style.” Some of the original Koryu were Takenouchi-Ryu, Yoshin-Ryu, Araki-Ryu, Tatsumi-Ryu, and Sekiguchi-Ryu. By the early 1800’s there were over 700 ryu documented in Japan. Ju-Jitsu continues to develop, as it always has and new Ryu continue to be formed. Kobukai Ju-Jitsu has its roots in Japanese Jujutsu and Aiki Jujutsu.

    Goshin Goju Ryu Tuesday, October 13, 2009 5:50 PM

    Goshin Goju Ryu Tuesday, October 13, 2009 5:50 PM The list of Goju Ryu Karate-Do is a long one and continues to grow. From the list there are Japanese Goju-Ryu, Okinawa Goju-Ryu, Jundokan Goju, Meibu-kan Goju, Shodokan Goju Ryu, Shobukan Goju, Shikokan Goju, Seiwa-Kai Goju Ryu, Goju-Shorin, Goju-Kai USA, Shorei-Goju, Yuishinkan Goju Ryu, USA Goju, Nisei Goju Ryu, Tenshi Goju, Kazen Goju, Chinese American Goju, African Goju, Chinese Goju and Goshin Goju Ryu this is our art. Although Goju-Ryu is a popular style, taught all over the world, there are very few books on the subject. Goju Ryu Karate displays the oldest martial arts traditions with a history that can be traced back more at least a thousand years. Keeping the primitive traditional forms of martial arts yet full of fighting spirit. The system is based on a concept that all hard and rigid is not good, however all soft and gentleness can be equally harmful. The two should complement each other. This combination of the two gives Goju Ryu its beauty, disciplined movements, circular flow and graceful form. But lest anyone believe that Goju is merely a beautiful style of the dance with little of the art of defense, he need only watch two Goju students spar against one another. Goju Ryu has received the most Chinese influence of all of the Japanese styles of karate followed closely by Shorin Ryu and Shito Ryu. With the 'Go' (hard or positive) and the 'Ju' (soft or negative) in consistent harmony, one equalizing the other as with the rest of the universe.

    Richard Kim A Personal Perspective On the recommendation of my [then] kumite coach, Wally Slocki, I attended my first Richard Kim seminar in October of 1977 in Hamilton, Ontario [Canada]. Following the seminar, hosted by Mr. Don Warrener, I was asked to attend a private gathering where I was invited to become [and accepted as] a student of the Master. In spite the jealousy-driven incompatibility with his inner-circle I enjoyed a friendly and fruitful relationship with Sensei for many years. During that time I was a nationally rated competitor and drawing noticeable media atention which re- flected favorably upon attracting new members to the Zen Bei Butoku Kai. I rarely missed an opportunity to train with Sensei or have him teach at my own dojo. I spoke favorably about him everywhere and wrote wonderfully complementary words in both newspaper and magazine articles. On my recommendation many joined the Zen Bei Butokukai, even though in those days we all thought it was the Dai Nippon Butokukai. In those days, Sensei was "THE MAN," hell, he walked on water" as far as I was concerned and I was more than just proud to be among his most trusted students. Over the years I had heard a few rumors about Sensei questioning the veracity of his stories but never put much thought into them believing that they most likely surfaced from jealousy, and or disgruntled ex-students with axes to grind. How- ever, after hearing an allegation that he'd plagiarized Ezio Shimabuku's 1964 publication about Okinawa's "Weaponless Warriors" [first brought to my attention by Gerry Gould, a senior karate veteran from Washington State], I began to question a few of the tall tales and other areas of his life [i.e.

A great deal has been omitted; some of what is included is open to debate and would benefit from more discussion. The only pur- pose of these pages is to give the karateka a broad idea of the origins of his or her art. The final chapter – intentionally controversial – is intended to stimulate thought and reflection on what modern karate is, can be and should be.
