A student said to me last night, Goshin Kan can be imitated but can never be duplicated. That I thought was a terrific complement to our school. Not long before I ran onto another parent who said was bringing their children back to Goshin kan because our system is a 100 times better than the one changed to, as it was an error in their judgement. Tournaments is certainly not the way to learn self defence was the comment. Kancho
