Hi Hanshi Saveedra,
I hope you are well. I am Sensei Dennis Vélez from Puerto Rico , student of Renshi Elton Valentín. I write this letter to talk about the annual quota to Membership of the Sansei Kokusai Koryu Goju Kai Karate Do and Kobudo Organization. This happened just over a year that we pay the membership of the Organization, and I want to know how I can pay the membership of this new year. Please send me the following information: Direction, account number, on behalf of who and quantity, to send a Money Order to meet the annual quota. Thanks for all Hanshi Saavedra, always read your blog on Sanseipage, is a beautiful form to stay in contact with the organization and learn of your lessons posted in this blog.
Saludos,

The letter above is a perfect example of membership participation.
The World Sansei Koryu Goju-Ryu Karate and Kobudo Organization's name and logo are owned by the Organization and its Founder Manny Saavedra. PhD. Members are cautioned to use them only for the purposes of demonstrating rank certification and certifying students who are in good standing within the Organization.
Membership in the World Sansei Goju-Ryu Karate and Kobudo Organization is an honor and privilege! A lifetime of hard work, dedication, and study from the Founder allows the Organization to exist - and it has for 30 years! The Organizational Hombu needs support and cannot sustain itself on its own. The Organizational fees are but a small token of one's loyalty towards this Organization. All members who desire to remain in good standing with the Organization will have their dues paid in full each year and will be posted on the international website. Many have failed to heed these guidelines and have taken the Organization for granted over the years. The Organization will no longer be hijacked by anyone, period! All members are expected to hold the highest standards of respect and dignity. As a member you are encouraged to take full advantage of the services of the Organization. You may elect to use any service we offer at any time.
We are all equal under the Arts. The only special consideration given to any member will be the respect afforded to one's rank. This privilege will be given to each member by another. It is only proper that one’s accomplishments in the Arts be recognized.
To acquire an accurate understanding of Loyalty, one must understand the meaning of the word Loyalty along with what Loyalty actually represents, both culturally and symbolically.

To acquire an accurate understanding of Loyalty, one must understand the meaning of the word Loyalty along with what Loyalty actually represents, both culturally and symbolically.
The World Sansei Goju-Ryu Karatedo Organization's “oath of allegiance" relates to words such as loyalty, commitment, adherence and faithfulness.
Loyalty is an actual act of truce between people. It commonly takes place when a new leader's ideals emerge. Those who believe in him and his ideology would "Be Loyal" to him. The act of Loyalty is formalized by a special handshake in the way of holding forearms.
Once this Loyalty in understood , it symbolizes support and devotion towards each other. It is also noted that there are no contracts, no formal agreements, only a simple handshake . That in itself emphasizes a simple trust and belief in each other more than anything else.
This Karate Association follows the same path and ideology as one can expect from its title "Loyalty". Its Karate teachings very much parallel the same virtues of loyalty, honesty and commitment; and it promotes supporting and helping each other to achieve the same goals and objectives in Karate-Do.
This Karate Association can be viewed as a "way of life" to help promote a unique perspective of life - the wisdom to perceive the benefits of adopting a nonviolent attitude, the virtue of being patient and the tranquility of possessing peace in our lives.
World Sansei Gojuryu Karatedo Organization was founded by Manny Saavedra, PhD., currently the Head Instructor of the Karate Association with one major goal in mind: to enrich the quality of life of its practitioners and to develop a strong sense of camaraderie, solidarity and team work among members ... all in the Way of Karate.
