Welcoming words
I would like to thank you for checking out my website. Many of you may already know me from the project posted on youtube (http://youtube.com/JMHamilton1) and my two Facebook accounts. Or my clothing line and clothing logo's on (http://www.cafepress.com/JMHamilton1). I will be removing the (cafepress) account and starting my own clothing website, therefore, stay in touch. My first publication (PARTICIPATION by John Morgan Hamilton - Based on true events) became available in 2010 with both Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. If you have a desire to learn the two system of Goju Ryu karate (PanAmerican Goju Ryu & USA Goju Ryu) look for my published works in the summer of 2020. I hope these book inspire you in the art of karate, mainly these two systems.
Here's a short story about me most people don‘t know. As a child I was picked on by other kids. In high school other made me feel I would not do anything with my life, other than get involved in crime, drugs or end up in jail. I was a very poor reader with low grades all throughout high school. Even with a supporting mother and father my future was bleak and statistically the odds were not in my favor. I was labeled as (Educationally, Mentally, Retarded) by the Cleveland, Ohio school system at a young age. Yet, I did not let that stop me from achieving so many accomplishments in my life. I give credit to God and the teachings of karate at a young age which became the driving power behind my desire to become successful. I had to work harder than everyone around me just to make my dreams come true. I created this website over 11 years ago to promote the art of PanAmerican Goju Ryu and USA Goju Ryu karate. Through the training of karate people have learned how to control many emotions, like anger, violence, peer-pressure, family issues, depression, low self-esteem, self-defense, anxiety, fitness and exercise, self-discipline, proper eating habits, behavior problems and more. There is also a strong military presents, strong values because most of the teachers in this karate family have served in the military. In the pass year things have changed and with that I am updating my website to reflect those changes. Unfortunately, with those changes, this website will be used as a source of information, and history on and about USA Goju Ryu Karate and PanAmerican Goju Ryu Karate. I will not be opening a Dojo therefore "White Falcon Dojo" will become a thing of the pass but, I will be publishing books of both system of Gojo Ryu and how they have changed from Okinawa and Japan as to progressed to the United States of America.
I will continue to motive, promote, advocate the practices of karate and the spreading of USA Goju Ryu and PanAmerican Goju Ryu. I will continue to show how my determination to be the person I want to be has become a success story. A success story to help others facing negative people and bad situations. When I was in the military, I would always advised soldiers to be the best soldier as possible. To some I would say “Let no ones perception of you become your reality” and if they wanted to become successful in life, then they would have to ask themselves “How bad do you want it". People will always have their own perception of who they think you should become but anyone's perception of you don't matter. Only your perception of you matters. If there's something you want to achieve in life then again, the main question you must ask yourself is “How bad do you want it”. As a child I was called names; Karate Sidekick, Hong Gone Foey, Stupid, Dummy and some I will not repeat. With all the negative things I had to face growing up, I learned how to channel them through learning karate. I learned how to take my pain and drive harder toward my dreams, even when the people closest to me didn't support me. When I started learning karate, others laughed at me, when I said I was going to join the military, others laughed at me. When I said I was going to write a book, others laughed at me. And when I said I was going to become successful, again others laughed at me. "NOW LOOK AT ME".
With the changes to my website, I have added a page for the DLTS project I created. This park project is like nothing ever built in America. Once it is constructed it will be the only one of its kind in American history that honors so many people and their ultimate scarifies. I Look forward to the fundraiser for the DLTS project and I hope you like, I hope you love and enjoy the changes that have been made. I look foward to seeing my fellow Americans on that wonderful day.

The name White Falcon was given to me in the year of 2009 in Webster New York while sitting in the park after praying and practicing Kata. The experience behind witnessing this great bird changed many things in my life. For one, I felt very blessed to have experienced seeing such a beautiful animal. I felt deeply blessed once I learned more about this bird and how very rear it has become. The falcon is one of the most beautiful creators of the sky and its skills to survive in many climates has made it a very priced pet in families of royalty in India, South East Asia and Sad Arabia. In the United States, next the Eagle, hurting or killing a Falcon is illegal and a person can be fined up to or more than $10,000. The cloese species of the falcon I witness seeing are called (GryFalcon), its burn completely white in color. As they grow into an adulthood, the white is replaced with darker colors. Those falcon that remain mostly white are consider to be birds of pure royalty and touched by the hand of God or Allah.
The word Baaj is sanskrit in origin and mostly it is agreed that it refers to a falcon as opposed to a hawk or an osprey. If the historical anecdotes are to be believed then it is most likely that the 'white bird of prey, which the 10th Guru handled was either a Gyrfalcon or Saker Falcon. The Gryfalcon is the only 'regularly white falcon' that exists, it's also the largest of the falcons and would have been a very prized possession during the seventeenth century especially in Asia. Futher south Falcon are darker in color as well as smaller in size. The Gryfalcon wingspan can be as big as 63" (160cm) and it's weight can be up to 4.6 lb (2.1kg). That makes it a very impressive and very powerful bird. It's food or pray can rang from Arctic Ptarmigan, sea and water birds, and from time to time large ducks or geese. The Gryfalcon is one of the few bird that can take its pray in "mid air flight" but it is known to catch from air to ground. It can reach speeds of 50 mpr in a dive which make it close to impossible to see until the last momnet.

PanAmerican Goju Ryu KarateDo is one of a many forms of martial arts growing in the United States today that teaches both the spiritual and physical enlightenment in its teachings. I cannot and will not try to claim anything as my own because it was created before my very existence. God has given us all the ability to understand the human body and parts of the human brain. Through the teachings of Karate or to some karatedo, and our heavenly father I can only introduce you to your way of understanding. It is up to you to apply that which you understand to your life. As it is up to you to desire and become success. The name "White Falcon", is a name I chosen for my Dojo within the (Thorne Karate Organization or TKO). Two systems of Goju Ryu I will publish my book on (USA Goju Ryu karate and PanAmerican Goju Ryu karate). The books sold from this website (karate, self-motivation and my autobiography) will be the only books with my personal signature. All others sold from E-book, Amazon, and Barnes & Nobles will not be signed. With great understanding comes great responsibility to those around us we serve.
