Tino Ceberano Hanshi came to Australia in 1966 and established Goju Kai training in Melbourne and later, other Victoria regional centres. Later around 1990, the IGK was formed. In the last 50 years he has touched the lives of many students, many of whom became highly ranking instructors.
It is timely to gather the personal stories of the many students, the recollections of camps, competitions, how karate changed their lives and how Tino Hanshi has influenced them.
