Encyclopedia of Goju Ryu Part 3

Description: Encyclopedia of Goju Ryu Part 3by Morio Higaonna Contents: Seiyunchin & Shisochin In the third part of his series Higaonna Sensei shows step by step, and in great detail, the correct method of performing Seiyunchin & Shisochin kata. This includes instruction in correct breathing, tension and relaxation, movement and the elimination of common faults that lead to imperfect kata and therefore, weak technique. Filmed on location in a beautiful Japanese garden, this Tsunami DVD is as visually pleasing as it is technically excellent. Morio Higaonna was first taught the kata Seiyunchin by his friend, Tsunetaka Shimabukuro. After he joined the dojo of Chogun Miyagi in April 1955, he learned exclusively from An’ichi Miyagi, a senior student of Chojun Miyagi, the Founder of Goju Ryu karate. Clearly this kata was viewed as important by Miyagi Sensei as it was one of those he chose to demonstrate during his research trip to Fuchow, China, in 1915. He also taught it widely during his year long visit to the Hawaii Islands that began in the Spring of 1934 where, it is believed, he felt that Sanchin, the first kata normally taught in Goju Ryu, was too arduous an introduction to his system for students who had not been prepared by strength training and body conditioning. Running time approx. 50 min. It is impossible to teach the most sophisticated and effective methods of karate to large groups of students, in a quasi-military setting. These "secrets," which are the core of the Goju Ryu system, can only be transmitted from master to student by means of personal instruction for traditional karate's teaching methodology is, and always has been, for the tuition of individuals. To truly master karate one also needs to receive instruction at a much higher level than the majority of students can ever experience. That is the purpose of this program and those that will follow it-to make available to everyone, individual instruction, at the highest level, from the world's leading exponent of Goju Ryu karate. Author Morio Higaonna is the student of An'ichi Miyagi, who studied exclusively with the Founder of Goju Ryu karate, Chojun Miyagi.
