MY BELOVED GOJU-JITSU FAMILY,

 

THIS IS AN  ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE CHANGE OF RANK AND TITLE OF KYOSHI, JOHN COSCHIGANO AND SENSEI, TRACEY SEYMOUR.   AS OF THIS WRITING, THEY ARE:

 

                                JOHN COSCHIGANO, NANADAN

                                Shihan of Nisei GoJu-Jitsu

                                Commissioned Career Sensei, C.C.S.

                                SYSTEM-WIDE, EXECUTIVE OFFICER

                                INHERITOR OF THE SYSTEM

 

 

                                  TRACEY SEYMOUR, YONDAN

                                  Renshi of Nisei GoJu-Jitsu

                                  Commissioned Career Sensei, C.C.S.

                                  SYSTEM WIDE, SERGEANT AT ARMS

 

They have withstood the most strenuous test of all, TIME.  And also did this with the utmost of skill, etiquette, grace and most importantly to me, LOYALTY.  They have excelled in life as well as the Martial Arts.   Again, my heartfelt congratulation for your efforts have borne fruit.  

 

Since the death of O' Sensei Urban, trouble has been brewing among  the Nations of GoJu-Do.  Our system has remained neutral and friendly with all Nations and I am accepting my place among the leaders of GoJu-Do.  I have been recently been either visiting fellow Urban loyalists or been in contact via email.  You both must be at my side whenever possible as you are the future leaders of GoJu-Jitsu and must be visibly recognized as such. 

 

Graciously yours in GoJu Do,

Raymond A. Fitzpatrick , Gm., M.C.S.
