Just an FYI...you can help out Japan by buying one of these t-shirts:

Bill Mattocks, wouldn't it just be easier to send the 20 bucks to a relief agency, or an actual person in Japan and cut out the middle man. Nice thought, and though it is the thought that counts, the 20 bucks could go directly to Japan. Thanks Bill Mattocks.

Bill I like the Mizugami on your gi. I'd like to see a better picture of it and hear why it was changed. I am not asking to question anyone. I have just never seen that one and it sparked my interest.

Nice Bill! Gotta get me one of those.

Or promoting the religion.

We did both. I just didn't take a photo of the check.

I was asked the same question today at the seminar I attended. I am told the fourth star is for Shimabuku Soke and I believe it may have been placed there by the UIKA, which my dojo is affiliated with.

Ultimately I am afraid I don't know, it's the patch I bought at my dojo. Most of the veteran students and instructors have the older style patch with three stars.

I used to love wearing my gi in the house, but my Mum starting objecting when I got into middle school. She got me some cool He-Man pjs instead.
