Description

Goju-Ryu (Japanese for hard-soft style) is one of the four traditional Karate styles.

It is  haracterized for containing many elements from the traditional Chinese Boxing of the 17th to 19th century.

The designation Goju-Ryu was created by Chojun Miyagi (1888-1953). A Kobudo Master once asked one of Miyagi's best students about the name of his Martial Arts style.
But he could not give a correct answer, so he came up with the name "Half-Hard Style".

He reported this incident to Master Miyagi who finally decided to name it after the Bubishi (kept secret over a long periode of time) and its third sentence of the "Eight rules of fist fighting", which says: "The way of inhaling and exhaling is hardness and softness.", or "Everything in the universe inhales soft and exhales hard".

In 1933 Goju-Ryu was officially acknowledged by the Japanese all Martial Arts Association.


All 17 Goju-Ryu Karate Kata will be shown on this Film from various perspectives.
