Taira bunkai Fundamentals 

If it's not Okinawan it's not real Kara te. This is real Kare te. I no longer train kara te, as I moved to other things after serious mechanical injury to my fist while defending a gang attack, but I appreciate the reality of Okinawan Kara te as opposed to the prevarication of Japanese Kara te. One is for combat while the other is for sport.

It's great to hear that our DVDs are useful especially to someone as knowledgeable as yourself.

Actually, this is the "Ju" in Goju. Go means hard and powerful and Ju means softness.

I watch this one over and over. Terrific stuff. I have got to order the new DVDs ASAP...

Thanks for sharing. Excellent material!

Good to see Karate returning to its roots as a legitimate in fighting self defense system. It's been watered down and sportified for far too long.

I am glad you found it useful. Thank you for your comment.

Thanks for Sharing Sensei!

This Teacher knows his art! Every system is only as good as its practitioners, this time I gave a thumbs up to Karate, its rare but this looks much better to use in close combat then other Karate!

solid instruction. thanks for this!

This video was filmed in New Jersey at Mountain Martial Arts dojo, and produced by Goju Karate Center in California.

Very impressive flow drills and a nicley made video.

Very useful, thanks for sharing!

Thank you sir!

Thank you!

You're welcome, glad you liked it.

I tried to. You can find the DVDs on our online store at our website in the "description" to the above video.

This demonstrates that Karate is 'finally' returning to its source input and it's related training methods. Not sure 'flow drills' translates back into original White Crane Chinese kuen kit.

You can order the DVD at our online store at our website, I'll message you the link.

excellent.

I think that was the sound of someone's brain finally giving out!

goju ryu has its roots in fujian white crane. so does wing chun as ng mui was also a crane practitioner.

I have seen both. Maybe Nathan Johnson's work looks like Taira Masaji's work. Please remember, Nathan Johnson studied with Nagamine. There are several other Okinawan masters who employ the same principles. In the end, karate is karate.

You're welcome.

muy bueno ;O thanks..

Hi Paul, great material. What was that kiai that I heard @ 2:24 ?

Simon, I don't know Johnson Sensei's work. What do you see as the main similarities?

CHINESE PUSH HANDS/WING CHUN DRILLS.

Thank you. I'm disappointed I missed it.

isso na rua funciona que é uma beleza

Did you message me the link Sir! Very intrigued!!!

I'm unclear where this video was filmed, NJ or CA?

wingtsunwelt did a piece on Goju and this guy, very similar to WT IMHO

oss..

I'm interested how do I get the DVD??

Per me è tutto tui shou con molti richiami al nostro Tai Chi quan

do you guys still have dvds?

Again Looks like Nathan Johnsons Kodo Ryu

i see a lot of white crane similarities albeit the techniques displayed here seem to be "hard" in nature and less of the "soft" quality if white crane

one example of this working in MMA please......

This is Wing Chun

That's just kung fu hand drills. day one stuff really.

Imitation hands technique from Wing Chun kungfu, because karate is 0,0 % from kungfu.

useless meaningless worthless techniques you can't use on the street in the real situation.
