We must put in place a clear organization to succeed with clear roles and responsibilities so everyone knows which tasks they are working on and how they align to the overall goals and vision.<\/p>\n<p>For future growth of the Contact Karatedo, we need to think of it like the growth of a tree. To grow, trees need plenty of sunlight, oxygen, water, and nutrients. A healthy tree needs a strong trunk with many branches and leaves. Similarly, Contact Karatedo needs a strong Hombu and Federation with many schools educating their own students. Through this, the tree can flower and generate fruit from its blossoms.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It should be our collective joy and obligation to be the keeper of posterity, passing down the teachings from parent to child, having it grow stronger with every generation.<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This kind of natural philosophy will bring us success. This means that we need to have more branches, more students, and a larger organization working together towards common goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To enable this, we should all share our power together, cooperate, and do our best towards the expansion of the Contact Karatedo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-81\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Hidari-Mitsu-Tomoe-Red-75-75-trans.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"75\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;What do we need to do to further the expansion of Contact Karatedo?&#8221; First, we must think about what each Shihan has to do from a basic point of view.
