. I’ve been with Gojuryu Karate just 50 years. It was still considered as martial art rather than sport .
..However, I fear that it's performance style has changed over the 50 years and that some of its intentions have been lost or blurred, often to the detriment of Goju-ryu karate.
..This website aims to share the techniques and ideas of Goju-ryu before it became a sport with comrades.I think the site help your understanding about "What is Gojuryu Karate?". .
.
Then all pictures and videos are my amateur works .Thank you for warm understanding .

外国人がこの様なマニアックな剛柔流空手史の本を2冊も公刊するのは驚きである。著者は膨大な日本語文献を収集・解読し
2018年に来日し関東と東北の各地で関係者に調査した。 "We were taught that Gogen Yamaguchi (1909-1989山口剛玄)was Chojun Miyagi(1888-1953宮城長順)'s most important student and founded Japanese Goju-Ryu. Around 2008-2010 I began more research into Goju-Ryu and realised there is much more out there. I learned more about the other students of Chojun Miyagi like Seiko Higa(1898-1966比嘉世幸), Meitoku Yagi(1912-2003八木明徳) and Eiichi Miyazato(1922-1999宮里栄一). By watching some videos, I also saw that Yamaguchi’s Goju has some big differences from Okinawan Goju-Ryu. It’s this time when my curiosity began to grow. During those years and up to 2016 I attended many seminars with Okinawan teachers who visited Canada.
...
It was in 2016 that I found out about Omoto Shihan尾本師範 and he agreed to begin teaching me.Omoto Shihan’s school was from the Seiko Higa1898-1966 lineage of Goju-Ryu.
More specifically, his teacher was a direct student of Kanki Izumikawa1908-1967(
Seiko Higa's most senior student) .""I explain more about Seiko Higa, his teachings and how it’s different from other Goju-Ryu schools. I also believe Seiko Higa’s Goju-Ryu represents the oldest version.""I was very impressed with Omoto Shihan’s kata bunkai and research."
 著者の新機軸は1934年に沖縄から泉川寛喜が比嘉世幸および許田重発の系統の剛柔流を本土へもたらし組織的な道場活動を開始していたという歴史的事実を英文で世界へ発信したことである。

I think there are much misunderstings on usage of Sai.I guess as its shape is similar to a dagger so it is used just like a dagger. Sai originally was Okinawan police's weapon for capture the opponent with Bo.

It's final movement of Sisouchin. Whai is "Sashi-te"?

Most of throw and joint locks of Gojuryu are carried out by the principle of "Sashi-te"(Stabbing hand)Karate needs the momentary offense and defense.Hence the "grasps" and the "catching are verbose.Therefore Gojuryu-fighter does the joint lock by the principle of "Sashi-te".

 From 2006 to 2007, he served to develop a large-scale e-learning system for high schools in Board of education.He participated in the educational program of NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) as the chairman of the committee concerning high school correspondence course education. That experience significantly influenced Yuzenkai method.
 In 2013, he inherited the kancho of Yuzenkai and established GIKKU"Gojuryu International Karatedo Kobudo Union".At the same time he started to share the fruits of his study with Karate-ka all over the world by web.

..After the retirement he has three role, as lecturer of high school ,as Kancho of Yuzenkai Japan and as grand master of Gojuryu International Karatedo Kobudu Unoin. Now he has started writing an English book as a culmination of his Goju-ryu karate.
