Welcoming words
My name in John Morgan Hamilton - First, I would like to thank you for checking out my website. Many of you may already know who I am, from the martial arts videos I have posted to the DLTS Park Project videos and photographs. Or from my old YOUTUBE channel - (http://youtube.com/JMHamilton1). After many attempts to update one website, with no help from Cafepress.com - I will be removing my clothing lines ( Martial arts logo's, DLTS clothing logo's, all copyright designs) off their site. By the end of 2022 the website - (http://www.cafepress.com/JMHamilton1) will no longer be a vallate website for my designs or products. I will be creating my own website to sell my clothing line, designs, and videos, until then google my name and please enjoy.
I retired from the United States Army in 2010 after serving 22 years, publishing my first book (PARTICIPATION by John Morgan Hamilton - Based on true events) that was available in both Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com (SOLD OUT). I intended to open my Dojo back up but life has it's ways of pointing us in other directions. As a published author, I decided to put everything I have learned and experienced from studying karate and serving in the military down on paper. If you have a desire to learn a system of USA Goju Ryu or PanAmerican Goju Ryu, then look for my publish works in 2023. The pandemic slowed thing down but don't worry because my next published works will be out by December 2022 ("RENSHI" -Respect The living & Honor The Dead).
Now, for those readers who know nothing about me, here is a very short inspiring story I hope you enjoy. As a child I was picked on by other kids and a teacher once said these words to me (Your going t0 get involved in crime, drugs or end up in jail before you are twenty one) because I was a very poor reader and didn't understand math. I didn't get good grades in elementary school or high school because I didn't like school or what I was required to learn. Even with supporting parents my future seemed very bleak. Even statistically the odds of becoming successful in anything, was not in my favor. I was labeled (Educationally, Mentally, Retarded) by the Cleveland, Ohio school system. Yet, at a young age I made up my mind to not let anything stop me from doing what I wanted to do in life and studying karate helped me mentally and physically. I learned how to achieve great goals in life, accomplishments beyond my own expectations. It empowered my desires to work harder than everyone around me just to make my dreams come true. I created this website over 20 years ago just to promote the art of PanAmerican Goju Ryu karate and USA Goju Ryu karate. Through the teaching of karate people have learned how to control many emotions like anger, violence, peer-pressure, depression and low self-esteem. Learning for self-defense, anxiety, fitness & exercise where they gained self-discipline over improper eating habits, negative behavior problems and more. Also within these two karate systems is a strong military presents, with strong values because the founders both served in the military. In the pass 10 years a lot of things have changed and with that, the updates in my website. This website was first going to be used as a source of information, class videos of teaching, teaching of my teacher and his teacher. That will still happen but in publications and a few DVD's.
I will always promote and continue promoting, advocating, and inspiring the teachings of karate and the spreading of USA Goju Ryu karate and PanAmerican Goju Ryu karate. I will also continue showing how you can keep a mental mind of determination through karate training. To be a positive person in order to achieve your goals in life. By sharing my personal success stories in my published works while facing negative and dangerous individuals, I hope spark a drive in you to always be positive. while serving in the Army, I would advise some of my soldiers on how to become a better soldier, a better person with two phrases. First (Let no ones perception of you become your reality) and the second phrases (How bad do you want it). People will always have their own perception on who they think you should be or become but the only perception that should matter is your own. If there's something you want to achieve or accomplish in life then you must ask "yourself" (How bad do you want it). As a child I was called names; Karate Sidekick, Hong Gone Foey, Stupid, Dummy and some names I will not repea on my website. 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 take a close look - WHO IS LAUGHING NOW....
With the changes to my website, I have added a page for the DLTS project I created and soon, I will connect this website with a new website selling my designs and products. The park project is like nothing ever built in America history, or the world. It will be the only one of its kind in the entire world honoring so many people and their ultimate scarifies. Helping fellow American's and people of all cultures, religions, even other counties. I Look forward to the future fundraiser, art shows, and presentations for the DLTS project, the - Double Light Tower Sculpture (Monument & Memorial Site) Park Project. I hope you love and enjoy the changes that have been made and those changes to come.

GryFalcon
The name White Falcon was given to me in the year of 2009 in Webster New York while sitting in the park after praying meditating 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. It was a deeply moving blessed and one I will never forget. Once I learned more about this bird and how very rear is, the encounter humbled me entire sprite. The falcon is one of the most beautiful creators of the sky and its skills to survive in many adverse climates has made it a very priced pet to have. In some royal families in India, South East Asia and Sad Arabia. Owning a Falcon present a public status of that family. They are very expensive birds to own. 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 close species to the falcon I saw in the park is the (Gyrfalcon), its burn completely white in color. As they grow into an adulthood, the white is replaced with darker colors. The few 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. It is mostly agreed this refers to the falcon as opposed to the hawk or an osprey. If the historical anecdotes are to be believed then it is likely that the 'white bird of prey, which the 10th Guru handled was either a Gyrfalcon. The Gyrfalcon is the only white falcon that exists. It is also the largest of the falcon family. Further south this bird is darker in color as well as smaller in size. The Gyrfalcon wingspan can be as wide as 63" (160cm) and it can weight up to 4.6 lb (2.1kg). That gives the Gyrfalcon a very impressive sight to see as 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 Gyrfalcon is one of the few bird that can take its pray in "mid air flight", not even the great bold Eagle has the skill to do that. It is also known to catch pray from air to ground, reaching speeds of 50mpr in a dive. Which make it nearly impossible to see until the last moment.

PanAmerican Goju Ryu KarateDo is one of a many forms of martial arts growing in the United States today. It teaches both the spiritual and physical enlightenments of karate and it's connection to a peacful life and combat. I cannot and I will not try to make any claims of ownership to these systems because they were created before me 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 karatedo to others, I can only introduce you to the way of USA Goju Ryu and PanAmerican Goju Ryu. It is up to you to apply what you have learned into your every day life. As it is up to you to feed your desires to 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 am working on publishing book on, first PanAmerican Goju Ryu karate then USA Goju Ryu karate. Books to be sold from this website ONLY. Also, my self-motivation books, to includ my Autobiography - "RENSHI" (Honor the Living & Respect the Dead).

While serving in the Army, temperaly assigned to a Army reserve company. Practicing Sunday morning sometimes in 134 degrees heat became a normal because one most alwys train. Mainly after a few military men desided to give me a movtivating reason to stop teaching to a few felmales fearing rape. The outcome from this encounter was not what they saw coming, story in my Autobiography "RENSHI'. The bases of most traditional Goju Ryu practitioners is combative, while praying never having to enter into a combative state of mind. This is a life journey that starts with a teacher, yet ends with the practitioner and their God, Allah.
