Trias-te Ronin Recruitment Terry Sanders |
It is
possible to run a dojo without a connection to a karate organization. It is
possible to compete in tournaments without a karate organization patch. One
can self-promote and make up standards and the general public will be none
the wiser. However, this existence and such actions can be quite lonely. |
Attention Shorei-ryu and Shuri-ryu karate practitioners. Kondo No Shokai, an
established, rational, karate organization is seeking members worldwide.
Robert A. Trias in your sensei history a plus, but
all lineages welcome. Visit our website at www.geocities.com/kondonoshokai/
or contact Terry Sanders, M.Ed. at guacamole144@gmail.com for further details. |
It is our
hope to recruit sane and rationale people whose lives have been touched by the
martial arts of O-Sensei Trias. Throughout the
world "Trias-te" is taught under several
names: Shorei-ryu, Shorei-Goju,
Goju-Shorei, Shuri-ryu
and Shuri-te. It may be found in association with
other styles, occasionally with the term "kempo." |
A "ronin" is a leaderless samurai. Trias-te
practitioners out there who, through death or other circumstances, have
become estranged from their teachers or home dojo are ronin.
This is a call to them. |
