Karate - Kindness

Random Acts of Kindness
33,146 Acts Completed (August 1, 2009)

Goshin Karate & Judo Academy in North Phoenix promotes “Random Acts of Kindness" .

Our mission is to be the first Karate School in Arizona to complete and record 100,000 acts of kindness.

If we teach our children to be kind to others, the world will be the better for it.

Be a Part of the Movement To Create a Better World Through Positive Action!

“If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an action is worth a thousand pictures.” - Martial Arts Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee

We encourage you to help us reach our goal by TAKING ACTION on the idea of kindness towards others. Perform random and purposeful acts of kindness and respect towards others and record them on a piece of paper.

Make each act of kindness like a vote –a vote for what is good and right about the human spirit.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead

There is so much negative on the news and in the world today. Let’s focus our minds and energy on doing kind things for each other and together we WILL change the world –for the better.

Who Can Participate and What Can You Do?

Every person is invited to participate in this program. I have my students – some as young as 4 years old – working on it. If they can do it, so can you! Every kind act counts, so whether you say “hello” and smile at someone you might have typically ignored, help someone out with something they’re trying to accomplish, open a door for someone, or donate your time to a good cause, RECORD IT.

From the simple gesture to the profound and generous donation of time, energy, and resources, EVERY KIND ACT COUNTS.

Why We’re Doing This
We are doing this due to demonstrate the philosophy and beliefs that the martial arts has become known for – leadership, courtesy, respect and confidence. In order to be a master instructor, it is my responsibility to LEAD the way.

We have found that children learn a lot more if the experience is interactive and not a lecture. Instead of TELLING them that they need to be nice, we want them to actually BE nice.

Goshin Karate & Judo Academy in Scottsdale Arizona - Has exceeded 25,000 Acts of Kindness

WE HAVE EXCEED 25,000 ACTS OF KINDNESS



The quality of respect is central to our (or your child’s) ability to be happy and to function in the world. The form of respect is shown by appropriate conduct and good manners. The spirit of respect is represented by a sincere appreciation of the value and the rights of other people.



All Goshin Karate & Judo Academy students are encouraged to participate in the "Acts of Kindness" program!

Scottsdale Karate School Does "Acts of KIndness"

Goshin Karate & Judo Academy does Acts of Kindness

On Valentines Day 2009 Goshin Karate & Judo Academy set up a trip to take some of our Karate Kids that reside in North Phoenix/Scottsdale Arizona to the Dream Catchers Assisted living center.



We had 10 volunteer from Goshin Karate & Judo Academy; George Rautio, Payam Bipar, Hayden Bowen, Amber Padilla, Chelsey Graham, Andrew Simpson, Aaron Guise, Jed Kaufman, Paul Deloughery & Brigid Deloughery



This amazing group of individuals performed a several Okinawa Katas, Nihanchi Shodan by Payam Bipar, Passai by Amber Padialla & Chelsey Graham, Pinan Shodan by Aaron Guise & George Rautio, and Pinan Nidan by Jed Kaufman. Everyone performed a series of drills that included jab, cross, round house kicks and jumping front kicks. Finish by tornado kicks and crescent kicks (inward, outward and spinning)



We finished our presentation with poetry from Jed Kaufman and Chelsey Graham and everyone one got to read their “I’ve Learned Statement”



Here are a couple of them;



I’ve learned…That the best classroom is the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
I’ve learned…That just one person saying to me, “You’ve made my days!” - Makes My Day!
I’ve learned…That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.



LAST ONE


I’ve learned…That everyone you meet - deserves to be greeted with a smile.



We finished with leaving the residents two dozen red Roses, some Stuffed Animals and everyone received the now famous Goshin Karate Sticker – Free Hugs Available – First come - First Served



What a great way to give back to our community, by doing random acts of kindness. Our students brought joy to the elderly residents with their visit. I hope that after they experienced the joy of visiting Dream Catchers that they will dedicate more time doing Acts of Kindness and volunteer more often.


During my visit, I received the best gift from one of the residents. He told me “You made my day.” Seeing that my time makes such a big difference in another person’s life makes me feel very special and fulfilled.


By volunteering, you learn things about life that you never knew. You also learn how friendly the people you serve can be and it motivates me to be even more thoughtful, caring and kind. All of the Goshin Karate & Judo Academy students did a fabulous job.


Two Claps – YOU ROCK!

Random Acts of Kindness Week - February 9th - February 15th 2009

What is Random Acts of Kindness Week

Random Acts of Kindness Week focuses on the spirit of hope and goodness.

It is a springboard for action. A time to be open, to act upon thoughts of generosity that arise spontaneously from your heart. Just notice what happens as kindness ripples out!

The week is an invitation for individuals, schools, community groups, service clubs, businesses, health institutions, schools and churches to join hearts and hands to create a better world.

A kind act is "random" when it is unexpected-done simply out of the will to extend goodness, person to person, without expecting anything in return.

Join in the "kindness revolution" today and make a positive difference on this planet that we all call "home."

Kindness is Karate - Kindness is Self Defense

10 Ways to Increase Acts of Kindness

As well as being a quality of the heart, is a skill. It deepens as we learn to pay attention to ourselves and one another with awareness. When we step out of our comfort zones and experiment with speaking to one another, listening to one another, and caring for one another in a different way, kindness grows. The fruits of greater kindness are revealed in our minds, in our lives, and in our communities.

Here are 10 ways to increase your kindness quotient.Kindness Tip #1: Kindness Is a Strength... Sharon Salzberg is a best-selling author and the co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society and the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies. Her most recent book, "The Kindness Handbook: A Practical Companion," was published in 2008.

Kindness Is a Strength
It is all too easy to consider kindness a secondary virtue, the one we reach for only as a last resort. But if we look at the strength of kindness--the way it reminds us of a sense of inner abundance, the way it helps us feel connected to others instead of isolated and apart--we can appreciate kindness as the force it is. Kindness isn’t an ally of foolishness or gullibility, but rather an ally of wisdom and courage.

Look for the Good in Yourself
All too often we tend to focus on, or even fixate on, the mistakes we’ve made, the times we didn’t speak out because we were too timid, the times we spoke out brusquely or clumsily, and all of our regrets. Looking for the good within isn’t a way to deny our difficulties or problems. Instead, it's a way to broaden our outlook to make it more truthful and rid it of self-criticism. This is a foundation for kindness to ourselves.

Remember What We Share
If we look deeply into any kind of behavior, we will see an urge to feel a part of something greater than our own limited sense of self, a desire to feel at home in this body and mind. This urge toward happiness is often made twisted and distorted by ignorance, not knowing where happiness is actually to be found, and so we do damaging things. But we all share the desire to be happy, a vulnerability to change, to loss, and to fragility. Remembering what we share inspires us toward kindness.

Cultivate Gratitude
Rather than taking inspiring voices for granted, or overlooking the helping hands that might have picked us up when we have fallen, we can make an effort to hold them in our hearts. Sometimes even a small act of kindness on someone’s part makes an essential difference for us. Cultivating gratitude is a way of honoring these people, and also a way of lifting our spirits and reminding us of the power of good-heartedness.

Practice Generosity
The Buddha said, “If you knew as I did, the power of giving, you would not let a single day pass without sharing.” We all have something to give: it may be material, large or small, it may be a smile, or an attentive conversation in the elevator. Perhaps you let a stranger get ahead of you on line, or give a co-worker a small gift, or write a late-night note of appreciation. Any act of generosity--material or of the spirit, small or large--is a meaningful expression of kindness.

Meditate on Kindness
Each day we can take the time to quietly hold others in our hearts and wish them well. Any particular day it might include someone who has been helpful or inspiring to us, someone we know who is feeling alone or afraid, someone who is experiencing triumph and joy, or someone we are about to meet with some trepidation. We might, depending on the circumstances of our lives, particularly include children or animals along with adult people. Taking just 10 minutes a day to reflect in this way is a powerful path to transformation.

Listen to Others Carefully
Often we have conversations where we are only partially paying attention, while at the same time we are thinking about the next email we need to send, or what we forgot to mention to the last person we spoke to. We also commonly make many assumptions about the person we are talking to and no longer fully listen; in effect, we have taken their file, put it in a folder, and filed it away in a drawer. “Oh, they are boring. Their comments in the past were unimpressive.” It is a powerful gesture of kindness, and one that leaves us open to many surprises, to really listen.

Include Those Who Seem Left Out
In a conversation with a group of people, there may be those too shy to speak out unasked. In a room full of partygoers, there may be some who hardly know anyone there. We can probably all remember that awful feeling of wanting to feel a part of a group but instead feeling left out and unseen. At one event I arrived earlier than my friends and ended up approaching a woman standing alone and seeming ill at ease. (In fact she had been dismayed at not knowing anyone there.) We ended up having many common interests and connections--and spent a delightful time together.

Refrain from Speaking Ill
A friend told me about a time he resolved not to talk about any third person; if he had something to say about someone, he would say it to them instead. If you feel tempted to put someone down, assume knowledge of their bad motives, or generally prove their inferiority, take a breath. Even though we might feel a rush of power in saying those words, they can easily come back to haunt us. We ultimately get no benefit from dividing people and sowing seeds of dissension and dislike. There are ways to talk honestly about wrong behavior without derision or condemnation for the person acting.

Empathize with Others
It is always useful to put ourselves in someone else’s place. As the old proverb suggests, “Walk a mile in another person’s shoes before you pass judgment.’” Even if we are going to take strong action to try to change someone’s behavior, a sense of empathy and understanding for them won’t weaken us. If anything, that element of kindness will broaden our avenues of response to a problem, and engender greater creativity as we seek options to ease suffering all around

Karate Kindness - Kindness Quotes

We have now Log over 5000 Acts of Kindness

Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
So many gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, While just the art of being kind Is all the sad world needs.

Eric Hoffer:
Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.

Frederick W. Faber:
Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence or learning.

Goethe:
Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.

Dalai Lama:
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

Dalai Lama:
Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

The Kindness Hall of Fame - Coming Soon

Heather Gold turned in over 50 acts of Kindness last week and was the winner of a Kung Fu Panda

KINDNESS QUOTES

Abraham Joshua Heschel:
When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people.
-->Albert Schweitzer:
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
-->Amelia Earhart :
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
Barbara De Angelis:
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
-->Benjamin Jowett:
We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general. Action is always specific, concrete, individualized, unique.
-->Blaise Pascal:
Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
-->Charles Kuralt:
The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines.
D. H. Lawrence:
The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgement is never just.

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

~~~~~ April-May-June-2008

In the past three months Garrett Marquis has done 200++ acts of kindness.

Garrett has displayed kindness towards others by helping his dad do yard work, keeping his room clean and helping his mother do housework with out being asked.

Garrett also has been very tolerant with other children using his toys, books and games while visiting our home without them asking Garrett if it was OK first. Garrett was quick to forgive them and forget.

These Children visiting our home were also mean -- Even Striking Garrett some times but still he managed to forgive them and not strike back.

At the market Garrett asked the bag boy if he needed a break... Garrett then took it upon himself to bag our groceries.

We have gone out several times in the past 3 months and Garrett has always held the door open for others while entering or exiting a store or restaurant. It comes natural to Garrett to always say please, thank you and you are welcome. His Manners have always been awesome. Garrett is just a very loving caring child.

We are very proud of Garrett for sharing his personal possessions with others and for being such a well mannered child with people he meets during his day.

Thanks Goshin Karate & Judo Academy, Ms. Bev, and Mr. Boggs for everything you do.

Karate - Acts of Kindess

Haley wins an Kung Fu Panda for

turning in the most acts of Kindness

We are now at....... 2783 Acts of Kindness

Won't you Join Us?


Goshin Karate & Judo Academy has started a National Random Acts of Kindness Program

What happens when each child taking martial arts lessons at two thousand schools across America, with one hundred students each, performs thirty random act of kindness in a single month? Six million random acts of kindness!

That’s the goal of a new character development program spearheaded by the National Association of Professional Martial Artists and the National Leadership Projects. Local instructor, Roger Boggs, owner and operator of Goshin Karate & Judo Acdemy, has joined the program and believes it will have a profound effect not only nationally, but right here in our own town.

“Think globally, act locally. That’s the message I’m driving home with my young students,” says Boggs. “ We can make a difference if each one of us does more. This is a brilliant way for my students to turn the ideas of respect and kindness into something they can do. It also fits perfectly into President George Bush’s call for one million acts of kindness.”

A random act of kindness is defined as a kind, respectful or considerate act performed from one person to another without any expectation of return, reward or recognition.

A random act of kindness could be sending a note telling someone how much they are appreciated or putting a basket full of canned food on the doorstep of someone in need.

“If just seventy-five of my students do thirty acts of kindness over the course of the next month, that’s 3750 acts of kindness,” beams Boggs.

We’re going to encourage our kids to begin at home, under the watchful eye of their parents.” Mr. Roger Boggs says his young students are jumping into the idea with both feet. “One of my kids brought his parents breakfast in bed and another one cleaned his sister’s room without being asked. Our school’s parents are ecstatic, to say the least.”

Children participating in the program log their random acts of kindness in a journal and after accumulating 50 acts, they turn the journal into their instructor for review. Children who accumulate one thousand random acts of kindness are entered into the “Kind Acts Hall of Fame.”
Every kind act counts, so whether you say “hello” and smile at someone you might have typically ignored, help someone out with something they’re trying to accomplish, open a door for someone, or donate your time to a good cause, RECORD IT.

From the simple gesture to the profound and generous donation of time, energy, and resources, EVERY KIND ACT COUNTS.

Karate Students Doing Acts of Kindness

I have to estimate that we are somewhere near 2000 Acts of Kindness this Year.

We are currently giving away Stuffed Kung Fu Panda's to the student that performs and logs the most acts of Kindness.
