 Encyclopaedia
of Goju Ryu
Vol III - DVD
Morio Higaonna was first taught
the kata Seiyunchin by his friend, Tsunetaka Shimabukuro.
After he joined the dojo of Chogun Miyagi in April 1955, he
learned exclusively from An’ichi Miyagi, a senior student
of Chojun Miyagi, the Founder of Goju Ryu karate. Clearly
this kata was viewed as important by Miyagi Sensei as it was
one of those he chose to demonstrate during his research trip
to Fuchow, China, in 1915. He also taught it widely during
his year long visit to the Hawaii Islands that began in the
Spring of 1934 where, it is believed, he felt that Sanchin,
the first kata normally taught in Goju Ryu, was too arduous
an introduction to his system for students who had not been
prepared by strength training and body conditioning.
A private lesson in Shisochin and Seiyunchi kata with the
world's greatest exponent of Goju Ryu that reveals the technical
intricacies of the art that will greatly improve your own
karate.

time 60 minutes with navigational menus. $39.95
