🧹 Youth Students taking pride in Osoji (大掃除)

This week our youth students took part in Osoji — the “big cleaning” — at Goju Karate Center, using the traditional Japanese method of pushing towels across the dojo floor.

Osoji is more than just cleaning; it’s a lesson in responsibility, teamwork, and respect. It’s both a spiritual and physical practice — strengthening the body while also clearing the mind. Through this simple but meaningful ritual, students learn to care for their space and one another, while preparing their hearts and minds for training.

A clear dojo, a clear mind, and a clear spirit — that’s the essence of Osoji. 🌿✨

It's not easy, but that's what makes it worthwhile 💪💪💪
The three students kneeling all performed to their utmost last week at their brown belt testing. They demonstrated courage, skill, indomitable spirit, discipline, and self-control. Congratulations to each one of them on their hard work, commitment, and success.
GKC, a force for good!

Our fan-tabulous Sensei Pam, who supports and comforts us all, will be away from the dojo for several weeks. She has had a major surgery (actually 4 in one day) and needs to be in bed rest to heal properly. Not only is she an incredible Sensei for our students, she has a family of 6 to provide for. Between the Dojo and Graeme‘s work there are some gaps we hope to fill as a community!

We have set up a meal train to assist the Cuthbertson family. They are accepting text messages, dog walkers and chefs!

Hello family and friends!Our dear Pamela Cuthbertson is going through a tough time after having multiple surgeries in one go! She is healing up, but this means she’ll be in recovery for several weeks and needs some extra care for the next 12 days. Feeding and caring for a family of 6 is a lot for
