The Essence of Goju Ryu - Vol II

This second book in 'The Essence of Goju Ryu' series explores the principles that form the basis of Okinawan Goju Ryu. Concentrating upon the various Tachi Waza, Uke Waza, and Atemi Waza, this work provides a host of Hojo Undo exercises and paired drills which will assist the intermediate practitioner in adding greater depth to their study of Kata. More than just a description of the exercises, this work will encourage the student to find the subtle links which weave together the various aspects of Karate, and find the true value in its practises. Packed with photographs shot in an authentic Dojo, this book takes the reader back in time to see how legends such as Higaonna Kanryo and Miyagi Chojun crafted their tools.
