I instructed kids for years in my art. I have to say you are so good at what you do . You make it so relatable and teachable.

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

You are too kind! I still have a lot to learn, but I really do love teaching kids and seeing them grow. Teens are fun too, and they mostly get my jokes, even if I don't always get their references. They help me stay in touch with what's happening and what's cool at the moment 😅 Thank you for this lovely comment, Paul!

Straightening my leg for the kick was the hardest part. This toturial was easy, and fun! I've never done Karate before, so i will continue to watch your toturials!

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Your flexibility will come with time, so keep on training! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment - we truly appreciate it :)

[@justinnaples1658]

In the hard moments when you don't know how to defend yourself, you just need to decide what is better for you, the best choice is to learn a martial style, i joined muay thai and im going good, but im thinking to join karate, with such a good teacher you can trust and learn your self defense, Don't be shy, be strong and keep getting stronger

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

Muay Thai is a wonderful style, and brutally effective. I would never want to fight a Muay Thai specialist! But you're right - we take the styles, ideas and techniques that work for us, and we keep training those concepts until they work under pressure. It's like that ancient Greek saying: "we don't rise to the level of our expectations - we fall to the level of our training." Thank you for watching and commenting, and please forgive my late response to your comment :) Best wishes, Zoë

[@ub_ers8472]

Great class, even for us, we don´t practice Goju Ryu style. I´m in the shotokan style, but your class is so complete that it works for everyone. Greettings from Chile. Oss =) .

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

I'm blushing! These are such kind words, and I am always so delighted to hear from friends in other styles. I loved Chile when I visited South America briefly in 2004, as part of a trip to Machu Picchu. Felt so welcomed by the friendly people of Chile, and went on wonderful tours of the cathedrals (and crypts!) of Santiago. Wonderful to hear from you, and thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️ Oss!

Ah this is the greatest of compliments: to know it will be of use to karate children 😍 Thank you so much for your kind words - it means the world to this most awkward of instructors 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

[@siriusbontea]

@@GojuRyuKarateCentre, there is yet another opportunity to teach by showing them how you were able to deliver a great lesson despite feelings of awkwardness. I am an introvert by nature, so I understand this awkwardness all too well. Thanks again for doing what you do!

[@GojuRyuKarateCentre]

Truly you have the spirit of a teacher! Always good to find the teachable moment. The funny thing is that normally I consider myself an extrovert, but there's something especially daunting about putting stuff out there. There's a lot of imposter syndrome, especially because I am just a nidan, and I happen to be married to an exceptionally talented karate man who is also a qualified teacher - it feels silly to put out my videos when he has more to offer! These words of kindness and support make all the difference. Thank you 🙇🏻‍♀️
