stoneheart Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I used to study it, until I moved away from my dojo. I still practice all the kata and stances when I can. It's a powerful style with deep meaning and bunkai. I highly recommend it as a traditional martial art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojuGal Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I do, yes. I've been taking it for over a year now, not long, I know. I'm an orange belt, and I'm hoping to test for my green this spring. I'll have to wait and see though, if I progress enough. If not, then I'll test in the fall, no biggie either way.

shinnekodo Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I study this style, close to 13 yrs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogeri Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 When I step back and approach the many other methods of fighting, I believe it blends well with those that employ close-in fighting, and works well in the defense of many of those that use distance weapons as well, such as staffs or legs. It also works well with those who enjoy to kick as well, since many of the higher kata can be modified to kick higher {or lower}...There are many knees and elbows, and many heel-palm strikes, and strike downs and so on.I wouldn't trade my past for anything, save perhaps for more jujutsu, grappling, and Taijiquan and or wing chun or Chi Na training.

RichardHangHong Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I trained in a Goju/Shotokan mixed style for about nearly 10 years. Now I run my own club and also train in seperate Goju Ryu and Shotokan clubs.My Goju Ryu instructor is Sensei George Andrews, 7th Dan - OTGKA/IOGKF.Goju Ryu is very good for close quarter combat and the katas are both powerful and yet graceful.
