March 11, 201313 yr Author Honestly I don't know. When I was looking for a dojo, i found tons. I didnt like the way the others looked. I found my current dojo, i looked into the sensei who is from Staten Island New York and his sensei is very well respected and that dojo has been there over 40 years.I know he went to train in Japan with Eiichi Miyazato Sensei in his Jundokan dojo Nothing Worth Having Is Easily Obtained - ESPECIALLY RANK

March 16, 201313 yr IOGKF is Morio Higoanna's organisation that split away from Miyazoto's Jindokan. I read that there was some bad blood between them.
March 21, 201313 yr The dojo i train with are a similar lineage one of my sensei's swears buy these books :"Traditional Karate-Do: Okinawa Goju Ryu, Vol. 1: The Fundamental Techniques" by Higaonna Sensei.There are four volumes all words, kata and strikes are in them, also check out him on You Tube all the kata are on video there too.I bought the books from ebay as they are not in print anymore cost me about £200 over the last two years but they are worth it. Hope this helps Be like water !
