Personal instruction is necessary to truly master karate, and unfortunately few are able to obtain this in adequate measure; it is the aim of this instructional to fill that lacuna. Students will be led by by Morio Higaonna, a student of An'ichi Miyagi, who was taught by the founder of Goju Ryu karate himself, Chojun Miyagi; assisting the demonstration is seasoned instructor Tetsuji Nakamura. The material covered includes Junbi Undo, or strength and flexibility training; Sabaki, which imparts effective defensive and offensive movement; and Kamae, or stable base stances to support your fighting techniques.
