Yoseikan II Events
As you know Shihan Mina was in Orlando vacationing and as usual that meant a great workout. She taught for a class of 16 . Sensei Alan Regal, Chris Strurm, and Jamie Binkley brought their dojo's to the Yoseikan Dojo II in Altamonte for the workout. The 3 1/2 hour workout Wednesday night was more like a clinic with all the students getting special attention. A good time and a great workout. Thanks to Shihan Mina for her time, energy and expertise. She is an excellent United States Chito Ryu Ambassador!
Two students, Pete Rossini and Dave Lambert, passed their retest for Green II.
Sincerely,
James Acampora
Hawkins Kyoshi and Ludwig Shihan visit Khalily Shihan and Yoseikan Taka no ko Dojo in Louisville, KY April 5, 2007
February 17, 2007 Clearwater, Florida Winter Clinic Hosted by the U.S. Chito-kai Orlando Schools
By: Carol Hays
The Yoseikan II was well represented at this year’s Florida winter clinic with 7 students along with Kyoshi Hawkins, Jr. attending the 2007 Florida Clinic. It was a great time for all with Kyoshi, Shihan Ludwig, Sensei Matthew Scott and Sensei Laura Deck providing instruction along with Sensei Acampora and Sensei Binkley. Kyoshi Hawkins conducted a regional test after the clinic. Other than a slight delay in looking for a lost wedding ring in the sand, the clinic was fun but challenging and a great learning experience for all. The weather was a bit chilly and windy but it didn’t stop the group from networking, working out and eating great meals. Especially enticing and served at almost every meal were the oysters. It was our objective to try them in every manner served. I think Kyoshi, Shihan and Sensei Scott especially did justice to the total quantity served that weekend across all of Florida!
Yoseikan II Annual Banquet
By: Amie Delworth
I appreciated the opportunity to attend the Yoseikan II annual banquet. As a new member, I went without any knowledge of what to expect. The Dojo had a different flavor. It was more relaxed, with white table cloths and festive decorations. What remained constant was the feeling of respect that one has as you walk through the door. Even the caterer took off his shoes without being asked, while balancing several trays of hot food.
We ate dinner, had drinks, talked and laughed. There were awards, talks, and slide shows. Humorous and serious stories were exchanged. One of the talks was about the different forms of Karate, jovially referred to as “this and that”. I found this to be a very interesting commentary on the different ways to get things done. It, like most of the wise things said that night, can be applied to everyday life as well as Karate.
That night, a younger member received an award which he graciously accepted and appeared happy. When his mother arrived to take him home, he was so excited to show her his accomplishment that he made everyone around him promise not to tell her first. Learning Karate is difficult and time consuming. I could not help but to think how his commitment and discipline had paid off when he handed his award to his mother.
I had a great time. It was fun to get to know people better and learn more about who they are outside of the Dojo. I felt we all left the party a little wiser than when we came in (I know I did).
Constructing a Plan for Self-Defense
By:Shahryar Tork
On March 31, 2006, instructors and students from Yoseikan II gave a self-defense demonstration to a group at Neyer Construction in Downtown Cincinnati. Shihan Ludwig and Sensei Deck addressed many practical concepts, which I have summarized below. Under the watchful eye of our teacher, Kyoshi Hawkins, we demonstrated (or in my case provided a body ready for pain) two specific series of self-defense, one extracted from Han Ten Ho, the other, Te Ho Doki. Some of the key points covered in the session included the following: wrist releases, choke releases, strikes/counters, and take downs. All involved removing the target and in some instances neutralizing the assailant, who will wholly regret his/her ill-fated scheme if you realize two vital designs. A strike on your part should do the deed and not exacerbate the situation. Your quick counter, whether it is a simple disengagement and escape or full blown punishment, should be an appropriate measure.
Remove the target. There are many ways to avoid assault, but the concept of removing the target is first and foremost- it can be done physically and psychologically. A person can take the proper precautions when encountering a setting in which a threat may be imminent by: a) avoiding a susceptibility to becoming the target through preventive measures, and b) if/when the unavoidable happens resorting to effective means for countering an attack. The initial principle extends from the fact that in more cases than not, an individual can reduce the possibility of being assaulted by maintaining a strong disposition appropriate to the time and place. This includes being aware of your surroundings and conveying a sense of confidence that diminishes signs of weakness, which otherwise would encourage a potential attacker. A predator is more likely to engage a prey if he/she perceives the person to be a good target-so don’t come across as a victim and do not be ignorant of time and place. Walk where there is light, make the best of your stature (regardless of your size), and assume there may be a threat around the corner or in the backseat of your car. There is a difference between being paranoid and being mindful. The latter requires that you sharpen your senses and follow your instincts. An extremely practical defense can be put forth by the strength in numbers- therefore take the opportunity to walk with company. When you are alone, make the best use of time. That means take care of the important things, like locking your doors and driving away. In doing so, time will not be your enemy and your enemy will not have time.
Now that we have covered some of the basic ideas behind safer travel from point A to point B, let us consider that which nevertheless could take place in the meantime- an attack or an attempt. First of all, if they want your money or a material possession, give it to them. Better yet, toss it to them so that their attention may be momentarily redirected to what they really want and not what they are willing to harm. However if your body is the target or your physical well being is already in jeopardy take action. At this point I would like to make one thing very clear, in the practice of karate repetition of techniques and developing a keen sense of what works and what doesn’t serves to make our actions second nature. On the streets there is no time to stretch, think, or even blink. Practicing a few self-defense moves a couple times does not mean you will be ready in the case of actual conflict. Your mind, body, and spirit must be prepared for an occasion you may have never confronted or even fathomed. It is best to construct a plan for self-defense that is not a novel concept to your thinking and body mechanics. Granted that a situation on the streets could vary in nature, your nature should be natural. Consider the different types of attack and/or use of weapons as well as the position your might be placed in- for each of these scenarios develop a firm idea of what you effectively could do, rather than what you would do. As my sensei has always said, practice does not make perfect- perfect practice makes perfect. In the case of self-defense perfect is also rational, such that the technique must be effective and this is a result of preparedness combined with the capacity to make a swift calculation. In our dojo we dedicate ourselves to practice and application so that the answer is immediate, a product of familiarity and not a reaction we have to search for.

Yoseikan II Student Inducted Into National Junior Honor Society
Maxwell Bowdon, a student at Yoseikan II dojo in Cincinnati and an 8th grader at the Summit Country Day School, was recently inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is one of the nation's premier organizations established to recognize outstanding middle school level students. It acknowledges those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Character and Citizenship. Maxwell was also recently selected to participate in both the Southwest Ohio Junior Honor Band and the Southwest Ohio Junior High School Orchestra (where he was one of only two clarinet players). Additionally, he posted a winning record in wrestling for Summit this past season. Max has studied Chito-ryu karate for a number of years at Yoseikan II and has attained the rank of go-kyu (Green II). His father, Bruce, feels that his study of karate has been instrumental in the success Max has achieved in other areas of his life. We congratulate Max on his outstanding accomplishments and wish him continued success in the future.

Bittersweet
What is well planted cannot be uprooted.
What is well embraced cannot slip away.
- Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu
On Wednesday July 27, 2005, Yoseikan II welcomed Sensei Keith Morris back into the fold, if only for a brief time. For those students privileged to have more than two decades under Kyoshi Hawkins' instruction, the experience was not only nostalgic, but also strangely surreal. For those who began their studies after 1990 or so, the visit was a welcomed and motivating glimpse at what wholehearted training, particularly in the foundation years, can produce.
As Kyoshi pointed out, the most readily available way to illustrate Sensei Keith Morris' importance in the history of Yoseikan II is to look at the back wall of the dojo. The pictures of the black belts that Kyoshi has produced are displayed in the order in which they received their sho dan rank. For some, the back wall provides less clarity. For example, Sensei Greg Morris is among Kyoshi's longest practicing students; however, because of school, music and a great deal of travel, he tested for sho dan far later in his career than he might otherwise have done. Nevertheless, Sensei Keith Morris was the third of Kyoshi's black belts. He was awarded the rank of sho dan in October, 1984. Hmm…someone is waaaaay overdue for a Ni dan test.
Certainly, I am not a proponent of testing merely because a certain length of time has passed. So, do I raise the subject of a ni dan test just because twenty-one years have gone by? Uh, no. Let me explain by describing that Wednesday night visit from our prodigal brother.
It was a no brainer that Sensei Keith would conduct warm ups. Back in the day, warm ups were his and his brother's steady tag team job. I have to say, while I expected nostalgia, I did not expect to be transported back twenty-three years. Here is where the experience began to be surreal. First of all he looks the same, his voice is the same, and his basic routine is the same - right down to “Find a dry spot for push-ups. Let's start with forty.” When he got us in leg lift position and said 'lift your feet,' I had that moment of anxiety just as I did as an adolescent. Why? Because, back then, the Morris brothers used to kick my butt with their abs routine in warm ups. In fact, I purposefully set out to develop my abdominal muscles so that, at least, I would not dread their warm ups anymore. I resolved to beat them and join them in their own torturous game. It worked out just as they planned. I learned to take the heat or get out of the dojo.
After I reassured myself that I no longer had my once white belt abs, my next dilemma was when he told us to lower our feet. Later, Sensei Greg Morris and I had a good chuckle about how we were all looking at each others feet wondering who should lower theirs first. Historically, everyone maintained his or her feet at six inches until the highest-ranking student had lowered his or her feet. They were looking at me and each other but I was looking at them. Some habits you just can't shake. Fortunately, someone had the good sense to begin the ashi descent; otherwise we might all still be there.
As we moved into basics and kata, it became obvious that our brother has not lost one bit of his skills or steely determination. He has not forgotten any part of any of his kata. It was uncanny, unnerving and unbelievable. In addition to his memory, his posture, flexibility, form, focus, spirit and manners were, as always, impeccable. It was a shining example of what you get when the student, like strongest of steel, is forged in the hottest of fires. His spirited devotion to rigorous training and rigid discipline and etiquette has branded him forevermore. Karate is ingrained within him. He could not forget it if he wanted to.
If you were not yet a member of Yoseikan II 'back in the day' please don't view the oft-used term 'old school' begrudgingly, resentfully or longingly. Don't feel left out; because what we do, and the bonds we forge on the training deck today will be tomorrow's 'back in the day.' The ability to have 'old school' lives in each and every one of us. The secret lies in training - good, hard training. After that, more training. What else? Because surely there is more to it than that. Well, not really, except devotion to your teacher, sempai and kohai. Honor your teacher and dojo through constant self-imposed shugyo. All of this goes hand-in-hand with (you guessed it) - training. Demand more of yourself than your teacher expects. Set your bar higher than he sets it. Accept no quarter, even if he offers it. Work hard and complain not at all. Don't talk about it, don't analyze it, don't cushion it, don't make excuses about it - just do it. When you exceed your teacher's expectations and yet ever set your own expectations higher, that is potent sauce. That's old school, and everyone is welcome to attend.
What else does that kind of training do? It puts you in a much better position to help your kohai if Kyoshi asks you to teach. Walk the walk before you presume to talk the talk. In fact, further testament to Sensei Keith Morris' unfaltering knowledge and ability was his skill in teaching. While only asked to correct kyu ranks on a couple of kata, his attention to detail and ability to detect the subtle nuances that required correction was, again, amazing. I was surprised but not surprised. After all, teaching has always been a big part of the forging process at Kyoshi's hand. Believe it or not, there was a long period of time when Kyoshi was the only black belt at Yoseikan II. This meant that he had little more than a handful of students whom he began to groom as teachers at a very early rank. Sensei Morris was among those students. He demonstrated what every good teacher must have: thorough knowledge of the subject matter and an easy and eloquent ability to transmit that knowledge in a sufficiently authoritative and effective manner which is devoid of ego and self-interest.
After class, Sensei Scott and I had further opportunity to work some higher-ranking kata with our old friend and brother. Yea, he knew and excelled in those as well. After we finally decided, begrudgingly, to stop training, we then took the opportunity to introduce him to the Sensei Mulvey social area where pizza and libation were enjoyed by all. Sensei Morris had the opportunity, once again, to sit and break bread with his teacher and talk about life in general. It was heartwarming proof that wherever you make your home, you always have a home with your teacher.
When all was said and done, I needed more. More time, just more. I had a hard time letting him go. So, I was pleased to spend some time with the Morris brothers and their families the next evening. Sensei Keith Morris and I met each other's family. Becoming acquainted with his beautiful wife and two adorable little girls made me feel that, even when he goes back to the West Coast, there will be less distance between us. Having heard about each other for the past fifteen plus years, Marites and I had an easy, warm interaction that seemed as though it could not possibly have been a mere introduction. Surely we have known each other all along. It seemed that Jim and Keith had a similar experience as they yapped about everything and nothing in particular. Our girls and their girls (and of course Sensei Greg Morris' girls) were fast friends, just as you would expect of cousins. While I still had a hard time breaking away and bidding my brother farewell, it was a bit more bearable.
To our friend and brother, I thank you for lifting me up. I know all of your old dojo siblings felt it, and Kyoshi felt it most of all. Seeing you and feeling so deeply and afresh our bond and kinship was a reaffirming experience that defies mere words or sentiment. Since no mere words will do, I'll resort to something from my favorite 13th century Persian mystic:
“We know separation so well because we've tasted the union.
The reed flute makes music because it has already experienced
changing mud and rain and light into sugarcane.
Longing becomes more poignant if in the distance you can't
tell whether your friend is going away or coming back.”
- Rumi
Fare thee well, Keith. I'll see you sooner rather than later.

On February 7, 2004, Kyoshi Hawkins and Sensei Matthew Scott launched the first annual Yoseikan II Teen Kangeiko. They were kind enough to invite yours truly along for the ride - and what a ride it was.
Teens are only predictable in that they are totally unpredictable. How would they react? After all, Kangeiko requires commitment, hard work, endurance, austere discipline, and a never-say-die attitude. Maybe they would just give up early and often. Maybe they would think that their instructors were simply outside of their minds. I am happy to report, that the reaction, attitude and effort level put forth by the teenagers of Yoseikan II made their Sensei and Sempai very proud. True to history, the teenage students of this dojo continue to answer the bell with courage, grace and true grit.
 Kangeiko kicked off on Friday night with a great dinner prepared by Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Juliet Scott. (Mrs. Brown, Mrs. and Mr. Hayes also arrived in the early morning hours to prepare a sumptuous and bountiful breakfast for the Kangeiko attendees. Many thanks for their dedicated contribution) We were pleased to have Sensei Laura Deck who, thanks to prior research, came prepared with some great, age-appropriate, team building games that the students really seemed to enjoy. The final exercise required each student to select, from a myriad choices, the one animal which he or she felt represented the dojo. Each animal had certain characteristics or qualities that the students had to evaluate in making their decision. The students then collectively decided the order in which each animal should appear on their team totem pole. Not surprisingly, the hawk appears at the top of the totem pole. Clever, clever.
After a little orientation meeting, it was lights out. And I mean, lights out. Those students were asleep almost a soon as their heads hit the pillow. If they had any difficulty sleeping, they were quiet about it. While they dreamt of sugar plum fairies, the yudansha plotted and dismantled clocks.
They were awakened to the soft chiming of the dojo bell at 3:45 am. They had ten minutes to complete their morning preparations, get dressed and get out on deck in complete silence.
The students got a healthy dose of warm ups and partner drills, including team push-ups. Punching, blocking, kicking, push-ups for lapses in cadence, piggyback deck drills, kumite drills and kata – the usual fun filled fair. Some felt faint. Some felt sick. Some got sick. Everyone kept going and gave 110%.
 In accordance with tradition, there was a run outside in the fine dusting of snow with military-type cadence to keep them going. Then back to the dojo for more running, more push-ups and back out to the garden, barefoot, for more seiken cho tsuki. Finally, four hours and fifteen minutes after the chiming of the dojo bell, the students got to sit down with their hot tea. (One more piece of old school tradition for our youngsters.)
So, how did they react? They exceeded our expectations and their own. They tried and succeeded in bearing out many of the qualities they selected as being representative of their dojo. Their description of the dojo is inseparable from their vision of themselves, today, and their potential selves as yet unrealized. Their totem pole is our future.

The U.S. Chito-kai Kangeiko was held at the Hombu Dojo in Covington. This was the 25th anniversary of the annual event and the participants were all honored by the surprise Instructor - Hanshi Dometrich! Hanshi personally taught the first Kangeiko 25 years ago and thought it would be appropriate to teach the Silver Anniversary - and he was right. Hanshi was assisted by Kyoshi Davenport who has been the instructor or participant every year since the beginning (except one year when he was deployed with the military). The clinic this year stressed Chito-ryu basics. As usual 6 hours flew by capped off by a brisk run through the winter streets of Covington. There were 40 participants this year, including Shihan Khalily, Sensei Jansak, Sensei Ludwig, Sensei Matthew Scott, Sensei Hawkins, Shawna Lingo, Ron Emery, Kathy Emery, and Evelyn Hill from Yoseikan II. It was an event to remember, if you have not participated in Kangeiko you are missing a unique opportunity. Yoseikan II will hold a "Teen Kangeiko" this year. Please see Sensei Scott for more information about this Yoseokan II event. |

Yoseikan II had the pleasure of hosting Sensei Yasushi Yamada, head instructor of the Tokyo Chito-ryu Dojo, and his son Ryuota. Sensei Yamada is an old friend of Shihan Khalily and the Yoseikan II dojo. The Kamidana that is above the entryway to the deck was a gift from Sensei Yamada during one of his previous visits. Sensei Yamada participated in class and taught sections on kumite to both the kids and the adult classes. It had been 8 years since Sensei Yamada last visited us, we hope it is not that long until his next visit. |

| February 16, 2003 marked the annual pilgrimage by many Chito-Ryu Karate-ka to West Palm Beach, Florida to attend Shihan James Matthews' Clinic. The clinic was led by Tsuruoka Sensei from Canada. Sensei's lessons focused on lowering the tanden to achieve optimal stance balance. "Pinch....Pinch" All enjoyed the companionship, camaraderie and training... a few even enjoyed a little parasailing and waverunning along the Atlantic coast. Unfortunately, Hanshi and Okusan were unable to attend as their transportation was not as determined to make the trip as they were. Though we understand from Okusan, she and Hanshi got some much needed rest & relaxation while awaiting engine repair. |
