Actually i dont know how the okinawan Goju-Ryu is but the Goju-ryu from Ashikaga in Japan is very effective. The kicks and punches are aimed to be deadly and you could certainly defend yourself with it.
Allthough as groveavenue commented its all about the fighter. The better fighter wins no matter what martial art.
Friends, if you want to fight, go to a bar...if you want to learn the art of karate-do, find a good sensei, train hard, and study; plan on ten years, then maybe you'll know something.
The Effectiveness Of A Martial Art Depends On The Practitioner...Shotokan: Counters, Speed, and Technique... Kyokushin: Power, Pain Tolerance, and Stamina... Goju Ryu: Traditional Counters, Power, Technique...
I Just Stated Some Noticeable Differences... Which ever is your thing, Go for it...
@invictuskill I'm not saying your wrong, but the "Power, Pain Tolerance, and Stamina" training of kyokushin came directly from Goju Ryu Hojo Undo. All Kyokushin is, is a more competition based Goju in my opinion. Where as Goju has devastating street applications.
I am a Goju-ka, Ikkyu, 11 years experience. And yes, it does depend on the karate-ka to decide if their art is effective, by how often they practice and how much they truely understand of their art.
it is just different kyokushin is all about full contact so if you are looking for actual fighting effectiveness I'd say kyokushin is probably "most effective"
actually pretty good, cause in kyokushin you have no punching to the head, that makes muay thai more realistic, but kyokushin is all about infight, muay thai is more distance fighting
Well Sir, my impression is that the fighting system's effectiveness depends upon the character and the physique of the practitioner. Some are suited to Shotokan the Tiger School. others are best at Kyokushin.
I have heard that in terms of winning fights Goju and Kyokushin have the best track records of fight wins.
Always Sir, it is the case of 'The Singer not the Song.'
Well, Kyokushin was developed by Masutatsu Oyama as a hybrid of Goju Ryu and Shotokan with some Daito Ryu added in, so it combines elements of both those styles already.
sort of. The character of Mr. Miyagi was inspired by Miyagi Chojun. The training method was also inspired to a point by Goju Ryu Karate in the sense of muscle memory methods. Ironically, the choreographer for the KK movies has his black belt in Tang Soo Do, a Korean style derived from Karate.
@kenjutsu34 You said that Tang Soo Do was drived from Karate, and I just mentioned that Shotokan is the specific style of Karate that influenced Tang Soo Do.
The kata of chinese derived arts represent the heart of the system. Then why are almost all of the katas the same as Shotokan and very similar to Shorin-ryu. The only logical explanation is that the primary influence is shotokan based. Kudos to the founders of tang soo do for going back to the original name that the Okinawans used, which was China hand. But this is China via Okinawa.
Secondly, the forms of Shotokan, shorin and tang soo are most likely derived from...
@ronin752 Sorry, but if you do some googling you'll find that while there are strong Shotokan influences in Tang Soo Do, it is built on Korean Soo Bakh Do as a base, as well as Shaolin Kung Fu influences like Northern Long Fist forms which are required for 1st Dan black belt. As for the rest of your comment, it seems to have been lost somewhere.....
From what I remember, naihanchi is a Tang Soo Do shodan form. Its origin is most likely southern shaolin, not northern. Northern styles tend to be longer in stance and more flowing, as oppose to southern styles which are a bit more direct. Study of the Okinawan kata can shed much light on Tang Soo Do
Sensei George Alexander has an amazing book called Okinawa: Island of Karate. From chapters it says "focuses on the philosophy, customs and evolution of Okinawan Karate, supplying readers with an overview of the sport. As well, he outlines the styles and techniques of this type of karate."
Goju-ryu is a household word? don't be silly mr. miyagi. "wax on, wax off".

Is Goyu ryu more effective than shotokan or kyokushin?
Bjjownsu10 3 years ago
it is just different kyokushin is all about full contact so if you are looking for actual fighting effectiveness I'd say kyokushin is probably "most effective"

Bjjownsu10 3 years ago

Actually, Tang Soo Do is only partially derived from Shotokan Karate. Most of it is derived from Korean Soo Bahk Do and Chinese Northern Shaolin.
