I am aware of the dojo kun of both our styles. And honestly they both basically go without saying. Anyone of some worth knows that thats what martial arts are about.
My comment hasnt got to do...
Pointless question to even bother with. You know what the essence is even if you don't know how to put it in writing.
Its not something to try to analise in depth - as it covers so much.
Don't...
That would be through training every day more or less?

Hi All,
Reading all the postings one question arose, what do people want to achieve?
Doing a kata slow, fast, hard or soft doesn't really matter. Basically do the kata in which ever way...

I wouldn't say that :)

To all who have posted, thank you.

Hi all,
I have question regarding the kata Neifanchi. From my limited reading it's from the shorin ryu style. There are three versions shodan, nidan, sandan.
Besides that i heard that isshin ryu...
Nice and strong full of energy. Osu!

Your friend is right about that. In Goju there is also a Kata called tensho. Miyagi sensei created it to compliment sanchin. Its a flowing soft breathing and tension kata. The comparison he made was...
Hi CEB,
Some people do sanchin in a softer manner without completely tensing their body. I was just trying to make point out that we do it very hard.
Couldn't think of a better term so i came...

Hi Denis,
I come from a Goju Kai background and when my Sensei and i have visited our friends at Okinawan Goju ryu schools we see some differences. The lack of hojo undo in our way of training is...
Hi all,
In the last few years i have begun to feel an increase in physical power and speed following the practice of varoius kata. In particular when doing hyper extension Sanchin. It seems i can...
I want to thank you for your very informative reply. The way you answered my origional post is what i had in mind with this thread, not arguments or arrogance :)

As with most discussions things can go a bit off track..
