. 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

12/11/2023 SPAIN The strongest modern Goju-ryu fighter最強の剛柔流ファイター、総合格闘技で世界金！ I received great news the other day. I share this as an honor to all Yuzenkai members. “Dear Omoto Kancho, It is with great pleasure that I offer a World Championship to the glory of Yuzenkai.I became ICJJIF World Champion in Latvia.9 fights to get gold medal and world title. I offer this title to you and all members of Yuzenkai. Josep Claramonte,Yuzenkai Spain” ..I am only a typical classical karateka of the GoJu-ryu. But he is the GoJu-ryu fighter who embody the ideal of the unity of both "GO:thrust, kick, strike" and "JU :throw, joint technique, tighten, harden" in real combut . He is the strongest modern GoJu-ryu fighter. Because there are many Goju-ryu karate practitioners around the world, but there is no one else who can prove it by winning a world gold medal in mixed martial arts.→detail詳細 ヨセプ師範は剛(打撃)でも柔(投げ・関節・固め・締め)でも実際に戦える現代最強の剛柔流ファイターであると確信します。剛柔流の空手家は世界に多数いますが現に総合格闘技の金メダルでそれを実証できる人は他に例を見ません。(ヨセプ・カラモンテ支部長は8年前に厚木で修業して以来剛と柔の実戦使用に挑戦し今回の快挙となりました。) |

4/11/2023 up!  essey and article by kancho ..  Shihan Hiroshi Kinjo (1919-2013), an Okinawan native who lived with the
history of karate from the 20th to the 21st century, wrote 449pages book
titled “From Toude (唐手)to Karate(空手)"published by Japan Budo-kan in 2011”' in his later years. There are many
books written by karate shihans in the world, but it is rare to find research
books based on such deep scholarship, historical materials, and facts.
Although Kinjo is from Syuri-te, he is not affiliated with any particular
school, and he has viewed Okinawan and Japanese karate fairly and supported
it with his own funds.  ..His book begins with: “Currently, (1)Te(手), (2) Toude(唐手),(3) Karate(唐手;the
pronunciation has changed without changing the kanji), and (4) Karate(空手;the
kanji changed without changing the pronunciation by the Okinawa Education
Bureau in 1939.) are used confusingly.”According to his analysis,”(1)Te(手)” refers to an ancient Okinawan indigenous martial arts, “(2) Toude(唐手)”is the 19th century name for "Te" emphasizes its origin in China, and “(3) Karate(唐手)" is an educational Karate created in 1905 by Ankou Itosu(糸洲安恒)for secondary school physical education in Okinawa, and “(4)Karate(空手)” is Kanji-changed due to political intentions before Sino-Japanese War. ..He says the reason for the confusion is these four have been uniformly referred to as “karate.” Karate enthusiasts around the world are probably confused by the concept of karate. Which concept of karate have you heard about (1)or (2)or (3)or (4)? ”I would like to briefly explain according to his book.→detail詳細  The photos in "The monthly Karate magazine" published by Shihan Kinjo from 1956 to 1957. They are our masters and great seniors. Okinawa Goju-ryu karate was introduced from Okinawa to the mainland in 1938, was discontinued due to war damage, and was revived. These pictures show what Goju-Ryu Karate originally was. They performed throwing techniques as the name Goju-ryu. It was also integrated with Kobudo from the beginning. I,Kancho of Yuzenkai, sometimes say to my stusents that you should understand Gojuryu not only as sports but also as traditional culture which has been going on since the 14th century. The basics and Kata we practice have 500-year history. |

| 23/9/2022 ..Announcement on the award of the Renshi title(錬士) in YUzenkai フィリップ・コンジョクラッド師範の錬士論文の受領について  ..Shihan Filip Konjokrad(CANADA)has submitted his two books"Goju-Ryu Toudi Jutsu Nyumon"(247pages.2017 ISBN:978-1-387-29395-7)and "History and Stories of Goju-Ryu"(256pages.2018 ISBN:978-0-359-31781-3)as Renshi (錬士)5thDan dissertation to GIKKU Yuzenkai Japan.He has awarded Renshi on July 26, 2022. ..Both books is full of love with Gojury and based on a large number of materials(many of which are in Japanese) and field research in Japan.I am honored that I may have influenced his motivation for research somewhat as seen in a letter from him... 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。 ☆Book review to Shihan Filip Konjokrad's Renshi dissertation→detail詳細. |

Biography 4.2023  ..Kancho OMOTO Kazunori(尾本一則1958～ ) has studied Okinawa Gojuryu Karate under the fomer kancho of Yuzenkai Shihan Yoshiaki Naganuma,a final student of kanki Izumikawa and kanbun
Izumikawa(Seiko Higa's top student:refer to the lineage of top of this page)since 1973. ..He graduated from Waseda University in 1980 and graduate school of Humanities and Social Science in 1982. Master of Arts. When he acquired the black belt, Karate of Japan was facing a crucial turning point.Standardization and unification of Kata and "syotokanization" of kumite were pushed politically by JKF. He thought the modern Goju-ryu karate has lost its fundamental basis in the rush to spread it.So he devotes himself to systematic and theoretical research on Goju-ryu Karatedo based on historical facts and traditions.  ..After completing his degree, he has been high school teacher in his professional
life.In several school he always coached Karate club.(JKF version) Under his leadership, his students have achieved much competitions prizes of all-Japan, metropolitan, and pacific ocean districts..At the same time, he has started to teach ancient type Gojuryu in his private dojo. 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. |
