  • A comprehensive and thorough analysis of Goju-ryu kata. Highly recommended.

    This book offers a comprehensive breakdown of each of the kata of goju-ryu and offers the bunkai for each move and sequence in a simply explained format. It is ideal for the novice karateka trying to understand what the moves are, and for the experienced teacher looking to increase their practical knowledge. It does offer only one perspective of bunkai, which is a refreshing deviation from the myriad of bunkai free-for-all teachings of individual clubs and their own variations. The kata are split into segments and analysed comprehensively and practically, with accompanying photographs as well. Highly recommended.
