. 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 .

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.
