Description
Master Okinawan goju-ryu karate with Seikichi Toguchi’s highly anticipated sequel. In this follow-up to his first book on goju-ryu karate, shorei-kan founder Seikichi Toguchi reveals the art’s origin in Okinawa. He gives a history of goju-ryu and relates lessons learned from his master, Chojun Miyagi (the inspiration behind the Mr. Miyagi character in The Karate Kid films).

Okinawan Goju-Ryu II: Advanced Techniques of Shorei-Kan Karate contains scores of photographs with detailed captions that illustrate advanced goju-ryu techniques, including stances, strikes, blocks and kicks. Seikichi Toguchi also offers approaches to kata and kiso kumite (prearranged sparring). Whether you’re a traditional martial artist or a hard-core self-defense enthusiast, you’ll benefit from the techniques and training exercises in Okinawan Goju-Ryu.
