Way of the Warrior - Karate, Way of the Empty Hand [1/4]

i highly respect goju-ryu its one of the most powerful styles of karate i have ever seen its conservation of tradition is impecible however i am more of a kyokushin karate man. but i love to watch goju-ryu in action its just as practical as kyokushin

I remembered i first learned about Higoana sensei while watching History Channel's human weapon. Higoana sensei was feaured during the episode about Karate. I think he was almost 70 years old when they interviewed him , he still teaches Karate & continued live in an active lifestyle and strong human being.

Goju Ryu is from old time,waste energy not very fluid like kung fu or at least like wado

It is called a makiwara board. You can get them to mount on your wall, or you can have the post.

But what I do is just simply strike trees.

Goju -Ryu Karate-do

My best mates dad teaches Gojo Ryu here in Dandenong... :)
Shihan Lou Spizzirri

do you study Goju Ryu or any other form of Karate?

I was thinking of taking up Martial Arts again and I reallllly want to study under him!!

I did Goju Ryu for seven years but I now train in Kyokushin.

What have you trained in?

I trained in Tae kwon do for several years and recieved my red belt (second highest, before black belt)
But I ended up quitting to focus more on my Baseball career that was starting to take off...

I definately feel I made the wrong choice these days lol!

...hind sight is always 20/20

Are you really serious? :-)

It's makiwara, punching post.
