Goshindo?

Recommended Posts

We have a guest instructor coming to our dojo who is a Goshindo Master. I was just wondering if any of you could tell me what Goshindo is? I do plan to attend the class, but I was just curious to know about it beforehand. I'm still a white belt so this is all new to me.

I can't see the web page that sensei8 shared, since I'm at work at the moment. I will say that the word "goshindo" simply means "way of self defense" and has been used to describe a wide variety of martial arts systems. The word "goshin-jutsu" ("art/science of self defense") gets used much the same way. Your mileage may vary greatly on the material presented.

Interesting. Ok, so essentially it sounds like it will focus on self-defense material. We do cover a lot of various self-defense techniques in our classes. It will be interesting to see what the guest instructor teaches.

Don't freak out! Remember, you're a beginner, therefore, when you train with them, they'll keep you training at that level. Lots of stuff in the video isn't at the beginner level. Instead of a throw, it might be just a simple beginner level lock.

Have fun and learn!!

Goshindo could also refer to a style taught in central NY started by Frank Van Lenten. Its a mix of the different styles that he studied in the 50's and 60's (Goju Ryu, Shoryn Ryu, and other.

The past is no more; the future is yet to come. Nothing exist except for the here and now. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what's clearly is clearly at hand...Lets continue to train!

Combine Kempo with Jiu Jitsu; you've got Goshindo. Better yet...

Let us know how the training went!
