Hi Members of Goshin Kan I am growing a moustache this year for Movember. I have decided to put down my razor for one month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. What many people don’t appreciate is that close to 3,000 men die of prostate cancer each year in Australia and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime - many of whom don’t seek help. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me. To sponsor my Mo, you can either: • Click this link http://au.movember.com/mospace/37763/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account • Write a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation’, referencing my Registration Number 37763 and mailing it to: Movember Foundation, PO Box 292, Prahran, VIC, 3181 Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible. Movember is now in its sixth year and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCFA) and beyondblue: the national depression initiative. Check out further details at: http://au.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs. If you are interested in following the progress of my Mo, click here http://au.movember.com/mospace/37763/.

Hi Kancho Deena Naidu, Thank you for your kind words. It was a great pleasure to have you and your boys here for the weekend. We both enjoyed seeing your passion and your generosity in bringing these men together and teaching them all you know about the karate discipline. They are very blessed to have you as their Kancho. We are thrilled about about the gift voucher...we will be buying a tree, and the memory of the weekend will enrich its growth and beauty. Thank you also for showing us a group of men who have great respect, thoughtfulness and compassion. It is quite rare in this world. Much love to you and your family (and we hope that Malliga survived OK without you!) Julie and Grant

Congratulations to the new Shihans, Sensei's, Nidans, and Shodans who have successfully passed their examinations at Satori Springs over this weekend 11th October 2009. What turned out to be one of our best training camps and a great time to remember for years to come. A truly successful effort by all the teachers and students. Our road run in the very early hours of the morning was tough, however everyone pushed themselves beyond their limits to complete the run. Our sincere thanks to Grant and Julie for your kind hospitality and the very enjoyable drumming lessons. A big Thank you. Also congratulations on your 22nd Anniversary. Our new grades are Shihan Quintin, Shihan Joseph, Shihan Alex (full grades) Sensei Red, Sensei Haydn, Sensei Byron (Nidan to Sensei) Sensei Krisant (full grades) Nidan Jun, Nidan Guy (Shodan to Nidan) Nidan Rymond, Nidan Mathew (full grades) Shodan Mathew, Shodan Adam (Ikkyu to shodan) Shodan Sam Thank you all. We are a good dojo with a great bunch of people who do their best in their efforts to be good karate-ka in body, mind and spirit. Kancho Deena Naidu
