Okiniwan and Japanese Goju Ryu; whats the difference?

[Eye of the Tiger]

Could anyone tell me the difference between the original Okiniwan style of Goju Ryu and the Japanese style of Goju Ryu.

 

Thanks in return

there really isnt one, slight differences in kata. very very small ones.

 

And orginiazational things. the JKF are the goju people in japan =)

 

Goju ryu is the closest thing to okinawan karate taught in japan ;-p

the JKF (Japanese Goju) seems to practice their Kata in a more "stiff" way, like the JKA people, than teh Okinawan Goju people do. Bear in mind, I've only seen videos of the Japanese Goju people.
