Taira bunkai Fundamentals

[@GKCgoju]

It's great to hear that our DVDs are useful especially to someone as knowledgeable as yourself.

[@SoldierDrew]

If it's not Okinawan it's not real Kara te. This is real Kare te. I no longer train kara te, as I moved to other things after serious mechanical injury to my fist while defending a gang attack, but I appreciate the reality of Okinawan Kara te as opposed to the prevarication of Japanese Kara te. One is for combat while the other is for sport.

[@MrRalteria]

Good to see Karate returning to its roots as a legitimate in fighting self defense system. It's been watered down and sportified for far too long.

[@haschid]

Actually, this is the "Ju" in Goju. Go means hard and powerful and Ju means softness.

[@thecontemplative2]

I watch this one over and over. Terrific stuff. I have got to order the new DVDs ASAP...

[@GKCgoju]

This video was filmed in New Jersey at Mountain Martial Arts dojo, and produced by Goju Karate Center in California.

[@GKCgoju]

I am glad you found it useful. Thank you for your comment.

[@premierdeal]

This demonstrates that Karate is 'finally' returning to its source input and it's related training methods. Not sure 'flow drills' translates back into original White Crane Chinese kuen kit.

[@gojumaster]

Thanks for sharing. Excellent material!

[@hanserikhornell]

Very impressive flow drills and a nicley made video.

[@rekcufeht]

goju ryu has its roots in fujian white crane. so does wing chun as ng mui was also a crane practitioner.

[@seanhiatt6736]

GoJu Ryu and Shorin Ryu have their origins in Five Ancestor fist, which is made up of five different Kung Fu styles one of them being White Crane fist. If you watch people training in Five Ancestor Kung Fu the connection becomes obvious, has many Kata/bunki come straight from the style.

[@GKCgoju]

You're welcome, glad you liked it.

[@GKCgoju]

I tried to. You can find the DVDs on our online store at our website in the "description" to the above video.

[@ronin752]

I have seen both. Maybe Nathan Johnson's work looks like Taira Masaji's work. Please remember, Nathan Johnson studied with Nagamine. There are several other Okinawan masters who employ the same principles. In the end, karate is karate.

[@TenguMonk]

Thanks for Sharing Sensei!

[@GKCgoju]

You can order the DVD at our online store at our website, I'll message you the link.

[@jorlax123]

Very useful, thanks for sharing!

[@NewEnglandBudo]

Hi Paul, great material. What was that kiai that I heard @ 2:24 ?

[@GKCgoju]

Simon, I don't know Johnson Sensei's work. What do you see as the main similarities?

[@abenice]

Thank you sir!

[@abenice]

Did you message me the link Sir! Very intrigued!!!

[@GKCgoju]

I think that was the sound of someone's brain finally giving out!

[@victorgreen698]

CHINESE PUSH HANDS/WING CHUN DRILLS.

[@okudensensei]

I'm unclear where this video was filmed, NJ or CA?

[@GKCgoju]

You're welcome.

[@littleideaform]

wingtsunwelt did a piece on Goju and this guy, very similar to WT IMHO

[@NotTelling51]

excellent.

[@okudensensei]

Thank you. I'm disappointed I missed it.

[@dwddindin]

do you guys still have dvds?

[@GKCgoju]

Dinzel Walker-Smith we have DVDs for sale here: gkcglobalshop.com/collections/dvds-digital-downloads Please let me know if you have any questions.

[@abenice]

I'm interested how do I get the DVD??

[@gustavaokarate6956]

isso na rua funciona que é uma beleza

[@GKCgoju]

For him it did work.

[@rekcufeht]

i see a lot of white crane similarities albeit the techniques displayed here seem to be "hard" in nature and less of the "soft" quality if white crane

[@alexandermacgillivray715]

one example of this working in MMA please......

[@GKCgoju]

Mostly the techniques shown are too dangerous for competition but here is a video with some examples of karate in MMA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKbckqGKlJWtpa8

[@mongolchiuud8931]

I know your suppose to be trolling but hey i'll bite. lol Grandmaster of Goju ryu Mario Higaonna's son, Eric (hurricane)Higaonna fights in MMA and has a record of 8 wins and 3 losses with one no contest.

[@folmosan]

muy bueno ;O thanks..

[@rinograni1058]

Per me è tutto tui shou con molti richiami al nostro Tai Chi quan

[@fredkarat]

oss..

[@simonbudden662]

Again Looks like Nathan Johnsons Kodo Ryu

[@WingChunOpole]

This is Wing Chun

[@ittokaos]

That's just kung fu hand drills. day one stuff really.

[@GKCgoju]

+ittokaos "day one stuff" Are you sure?

[@ittokaos]

+GKCgoju most of it yes but then again I was taught how to fight. all is pretty basic in kung fu. not to devalue it in any way but certainly not anything remarkably innovative. I was under the impression that karate already had it.

[@GKCgoju]

+ittokaos do you have any video of yourself doing some of these drills, I would be interested to learn.

[@ittokaos]

+GKCgoju no I dont.

[@dwddindin]

ittokaos it may look the same from the outside but trust me when I say it's very different and is harder than you think.

[@patrickchen4764]

Imitation hands technique from Wing Chun kungfu, because karate is 0,0 % from kungfu.

[@GKCgoju]

Thank you for your comment Patrick, but I think you are mistaken.

[@malasangre6700]

Wing Chun has different history.

[@Davidtechguy]

Sounds like Patrick is watching too many Ip Man movies. Goju Ryu historically has Chinese influence, but not directly by wing chun. Perhaps Wingchun is influenced by the same thing as Goju Ryu

[@haschid]

Bot Karate and Wing Chun drank from the same fountain: White Crane Fist.

[@anshorruddinlubis4236]

In Hoong Ka, we call of Men Kiew.

[@RayChiHealing]

useless meaningless worthless techniques you can't use on the street in the real situation.

[@dwddindin]

Y u have to troll DIS vid

[@metalema6]

Because you're thinking of longer range fighting, these come into practice only once you're next to each other

[@brucefetter]

solid instruction. thanks for this!

[@GKCgoju]

Thank you!
