Okinawan Goju-Ryu: Fundamentals of Shorei-Kan Karate

I've just started Goju-Ryu and I wanted a book to assist in learning the first katas as I wasn't progressing as fast as I wanted to.The book does have basic information - punches, kicks etc are explained.The problem I have is that the kata movements in the book are different to the ones we are currently being taught - and the bits I was struggling with are different.If you want a book to show you some kata that may be different to the one you are currently learning - book was first written a while ago - then this may be the best way for you to spend your money.A better way might be to spend the money on a one-on-one session with your sensei or search through you-tube.

Good reference guide if you need to perfect your techniques. One thing books can't do for you that videos or demonstrations can do is show you the movement phase. Yes one picture shows a stance, the next picture shows another stance... But getting between the two correctly is hard to show in pictures.I'd definatly reccomend picking it up to throw in your bag with all your gear. It's great for beginners too.

Ok
