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!

3 A DAY - THAT'S THE GOSHIN WAY

Karate Teacher in Scottsdale declare every week is Random Acts of Kindness Week

Goshin Karate & Judo Academy in Scottsdale Arizona is working to make Scottsdale/North Phoenix a kinder place

Mr. Roger Boggs the owner of Goshin Karate & Judo Academy has challenged his nearly 300 students to do a 1000 acts of Kindness each year.

... 267 students motivated to do 1000 acts of kindness would equal more than quarter of a million acts of Kindness.

Here is my challenge – I CHALLENGE YOU!

Let’s all get involved in the Kindness Challenge and perform three kind deeds per day.

I would like to have all students and instructors of Goshin Karate & Judo Academy perform acts of kindness.

I hope these Acts of Kindness (to friends, family, perfect strangers, people in need and even a few four-legged friends) will swept through Phoenix, Scottsdale and Arizona.

"Passed It On"

"I hope what we start right here in our studios will only be the beginning,"

Let’s see who can Perform, and Log the most acts of kindness this year.

This week, our students will don their Goshin Karate shirts and go around doing acts of kindness. Boggs said the program is “wide open” and students can do whatever acts of kindness they choose.

Acts of Kindness for the Earth

Acts of Kindness for Others

Acts of Kindness for themselves (Like Eating Healthy)

Once a student does an act of kindness for someone, they will give that person a card. On the card that is dedicated to this event.

Mr. Boggs said participants will be encouraged to go to https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8186829832650938427&postID=5572664368017707111&isPopup=true, and write about what they did or was done for them and then do another act of kindness.

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!
