Full of rare photos of Yamaguchi himself doing katas as well as showing exercises, postures and throws. Hundreds of fine detail line drawings depicting the katas as well as complete analysis of each kata by the founder make this an invaluable asset in the learning of this style. Review: Awesome - This is a great book, BUT, I think it takes some previous training and not a white belt level to comprehend the hidden golden nuggets that Yamaguchi Sensei hid in here... It's all there as if he wrote a letter to you and had it handed down the line to you. For a Goju person , this is a MUST buy ! I study Okinawan Goju, but to get lessons from a MASTER like Yamaguchi Sensei,...so worth it ! Do yourself the favor and just pull the trigger and buy it ! Thank you Yamaguchi Sensei for leaving such a treasure behind for us ! And thank you to the publisher for making it available so economically ! Review: Real info from one of the original disciples - Outstanding info from the Cat Yamaguchi!

Excellence Takes on Many Forms
This work is an incredible collector's item which belongs in every martial artist's library. This book is a foundation work of the basic moves and techniques...a mark in time that solidifies the fundamental concepts. Today we see growth and new directions taking wing in the Martial Arts and Goju Ryu Karate Do Kyohan provides a modern "Bubushi" or the root of Goju.

I ordered this book for my husband, a 7th Dan Black Belt Master in Tae Kwon Do. He said it was a good read about the life of "The Cat" and a competent account of what he'd learned about the man in his 45+ years as student of martial art.

EXCEPTIONAL....VERY CLEAR.....VERY HELPFUL
in the intro gogen says this book was intended to be able to be used ...to learn...without attending classes ...if desired and yes ...its that clear its as good as taekwondo book i have by richard chun....that is also that clear...and helpful gogens book...is logical, systematic, simple, easy to grasp/understand/follow and the diagrams/pictures...all have arrows to show movement of limbs....between difrent images showing the steps /flow of movement.........which is an awsome idea i wish more martial arts books would copy in the techniques section ....the blocks ,punches,strikes all include most possible techniques....not much is left out i imagine... .coming from a taekwondo background....i wasnt that impressed with the kicking sectiion... but thats understandable...still much is covered this book is seriously top notch...i love it

Hilfreich
Sehr gute und verständliche Darstellung des Goju Ryu mit Katas, Ständen und weiteren Hintergrund Erklärungen. Allerdings auf englisch, aber reich bebildert. Zeichnungen sind zum Teil schlecht reinkopiert. Gesamteindruck sehr hilfreich.
