Description

Goju-Ryu (Japanese for hard-soft style) is one of the four traditional Karate styles.It is  haracterized for containing many elements from the traditional Chinese Boxing of the 17th to 19th century.The designation Goju-Ryu was created by Chojun Miyagi (1888-1953). A Kobudo Master once asked one of Miyagi's best students about the name of his Martial Arts style. But he could not give a correct answer, so he came up with the name "Half-Hard Style".He reported this incident to Master Miyagi who finally decided to name it after the Bubishi (kept secret over a long periode of time) and its third sentence of the "Eight rules of fist fighting", which says: "The way of inhaling and exhaling is hardness and softness.", or "Everything in the universe inhales soft and exhales hard".In 1933 Goju-Ryu was officially acknowledged by the Japanese all Martial Arts Association.All 17 Goju-Ryu Karate Kata will be shown on this Film from various perspectives.Andreas Ginger:I started professional training at the age of 7. In the first 5 years I intensively trained athletics, followed by two years of basketball.After moving to Germany I started Goju-Ryu training in 1990.In 2005 I added Shotokan-Karate and two years later also Shito-Ryu Karate. Since a couple of years I also go into Capoeira and Systema more closely, sometimes even in Yoga.I hold the 5th Dan and have an A-Trainers license. For 11 years I have been national trainer in Karate and for 12 years also the mental coach for the Olympic team.
