Martial Artist supporting Cancer Research

Hello everyone,
Recently we received the following message from one of our customer in Australia.
So, I'd like to introduce this as follows:
********************************************************************************
" Hi,


Three years ago a dear friend was diagnosed with cancer. This is a very common story and most of us have come in contact with cancer through being personally diagnosed or through the diagnosis of friends and loved ones. There is such a feeling of helplessness and desire to do something to protect and help the ones you love.

Out of this feeling "Fight for Life" was born. The martial art community around the world will come together to help raise awareness and much needed funds for cancer research on 6th-7th November at the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre. All instructors are donating their time, volunteers and sponsors are also supporting this event.



If you wish to join the fight please consider attending the seminar in November or if you are not involved in martial art, please forward his email to as many people as you can to promote the event. We believe that "singularly we can accomplish little but united we can make a difference".

Thank you for your support.

The Fight For Life Team

www.fightforlife.org.au



"Please forward this on to everyone you know"

Great for Summer

Hello to our friends all over the world,

We'd like to introduce our Seersucker Aikido Gi Jacket and pants Set.  
GREAT FOR SUMMER!!! 

Many Aikido masters and practioners all over the world love them very much!!!





"Seersucker Gi and pants set " JPY13,000 special price by Sept. 30,2010

                    
If you have ever experienced sweat drenched Gi making you feel really uncomfortable or worse, even restricting your moves, you should seriously consider our Seersucker Aikido Gi Jacket( Pants are also available. ) Thanks to the uniquely-patterned stitching applied to the lightweight fabric, it absorbs the sweat effectively and dries much quicker than the Gi made of the conventional fabric. Now you stay pretty dry and comfortable even during summer intensive training. 100 % bleached cotton. Size available from 2 to 6. Obi belt sold separately.

                                

                                                                       

                                                                                                                                      

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
The hanger is great, too. This is a special one for martial arts wear. As you see, you can put the Gi's sleeve straight!  Hanger Price: JPY1800 

Our new logotype"武（Hokodome) "and  the AIKIKAI. As you see, the Gi is put on the SHOGOIN  FUROSHIKI "SACRA " we've produced it since this spring for Budo fans all over the world. It will protect your cherished wear ( Gi, Hakama etc.) FYI, size: 105cm x 105cm ( we call this size 3巾＝3 haba. )

The Shogoin Furoshiki embroidered with your favorite colour and words  are available.





We can ship to all over the world from our Shogoin Store.

Please feel free to contact: shogoin@tozando.com

Phone:81-75-762-1341 Fax:81-75-762-1241
