| Goju-ryu, Japanese for "hard-soft style" is one of the main traditional Okinawan styles of karate, featuring a combination of hard and soft techniques. GO, which means hard, refers to closed hand techniques or straight linear attacks; JU, which means soft, refers to open hand techniques and circular movements. Goju-ryu incorporates both circular and linear movements into its curriculum, combining hard striking attacks such as kicks and close hand punches with softer open hand circular techniques for attacking, blocking, and controlling the opponent, including locks, grappling, takedowns and throws. Chojun Miyagi founded Okinawan Goju Ryu circa 1930. |
