　Message from Sensei Kazunobu Tsubamoto

　　　The late Grandmaster Sosui Ichikawa devoted his entire life to further developing

　　and polishing the Goju-Ryu Karate-do of the Miyagi - Higa lineage, and as a result ,

　　he created *Nihon Koshu-do, the esoteric and highest level skill of Goju-Ryu Karate-do.

　　　I was initiated into the highest levels of Nihon Goju-Ryu Karate-do and Nihon Koshu-do

　　by Grandmaster Ichikawa, who appointed me SOKE (successor) of Nihon Koshu-do

　　shortly before his passing in 2005.

　　　Grandmaster Ichikawa was the 4th generation (SOKE) of Nihon Goju-Ryu Karate-do,

　　which he inherited from the Miyagi - Higa lineage.

　　　I now work diligently to further develop and refine this authentic and highest level budo

　　which Grandmaster Ichikawa entrusted to me.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Kazunobu Tsubamoto, Kancho of Shigaku-Kan

　THE MEANING OF SHIGAKU:

　　　To be a leader; to dilgently lead, develop and guide people,

　　and to reach our full potential as human beings,

　　so that we might become extraordinary people

　　and reach the state of total self awareness and enlightenment.

　　　Shigaku-kan provides for the highest level of personal growth

　　both physically and mentally through practicing and experiencing

　　Ichikawa-ha Goju-Ryu Karate-do.
