Brian Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I'm a goju guy. 15yrs and running. I think everyone has covered the bases quite well. Enjoy! In this life of mine I have seen nothing, known nothing or no one,not even myself or my God,that has not been both hard and soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinnekodo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I, too, know John Touchthon and have trained under him some. My sensei is his uchi deshi (senior student). I also train with kshilke's senseis from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kschilke Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 If you are who I think you are, then you are a Renshi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Yes, Shorin Ryuu is perfectly right... So I just add on top of it. This style enphasize breathing exercises and ci kung practice. It has two katas (forms) mostly devoted to this Sanchin and Tensho.actually known as Ikibuki breathing Osu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Fisher Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have never trained in Goju Ryu but it has had my interest for a number of years. My interest in it really caught with my finding of hojo undo and the goju ryu methods of conditioning and strengthening.Here is a website for you also on Goju Ryu: http://www.iogkf.com/ Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShotokanKid Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Goju-Ryu is similar to Shotokan. We often have tournaments with Goju peopleThis is only a superficial similarity. How do I know?Training in Goju since 1986. Studied Shotokan 3 years before that. Work out with friends in shotokan (usually sandans or higher)You will not see the huge differences in a tournament, especially in sparring because of the rules. Certain Goju kata are rarely done in a tournament because they don't score well as ther are too many soft techniques.Sorry, I just meant that they are categorized as traditional Okinawa styles that often compete together. I actually don't know too much about Goju, I was just assuming (from previous competitions) when I made that post. My mistake, I apologize for any misleading information.

They interpret the bunkai very differently. It actually reminded me more of Aiki Jujitsu than Shotokan. Very impressive system and very well rounded.
