Goju ryu was developed by Chojun Miyagi, who was born in 1988.He took the name from a chinese text called “bubishi” which explains the eight precepts which make up the training in this style of martial art. The precepts teach the student that all of our capabilities will be dicovered throughout our training. Goju ryu is a martial arts style based on opposites, such as hard and soft, or circular and straight.In goju ryu, you will practice the art of close battle and focusing your attacks on your opponent’s weaknesses. The first technique to learn is blocking; once you know how to block, you can then attack. Goju ryu blocking techniques can range from fast and furious to slow and soft. The many standing positions in goju ryu are defined by the angle the body which is relative to a horizontal plane. The way you hold your body is very important; as many positions come from the natural positions of animals. When learning goju ryu, it is vital to learn the basics first, and more advanced skills when you’re ready. At this point, you can then start learning more advanced kata. The art of controlling and attacking are the essence of Goju ryu. You must control your opponent before you attack; if you do not, you will be unable to apply the techniques learned to defeat them. Once your opponent is under control, you can use one of several techniques to counterattack. Goju ryu’s three phases of defeating your opponent are:1) Control your opponent.2) Weaken your opponent.3) Defeat your opponent. This style of martial art is excellent in self defence situations.

How to increase your Martial Arts Weapons Skills Almost overnight!
How to gain more in the next 6 months in Martial Arts than you have in the prior 5 years! Learning Martial Arts is a lifelong process. That statement is certainly true but in the last 6 months I have learned more than in the prior 23 years about the inside secrets to real Martial Arts Training Success. It took learning real training methods from an incredible Grandmaster and true Martial Arts Legend to help me leapfrog my technique to a much hirer level almost overnight. You see I used to train about 1-2 hours a day in my teenage years, and I had a very good instructor. However; even at the 1st Dan Black Belt level he would not share much of the behind the scenes training secrets that there are in Martial Arts. Since those early days I have trained with some of the best in the World, and I have gained a lot personally from everyone. However; in the last six months I have experience powerful gains in a key area of my Martial Arts Training and that is in Weapons Training. Yes ever since I joined the Martial Arts Weapons Association and started learning the methods that Grandmaster Ted Gambordella teaches, I have made huge gains in weapons knowledge and skills. I have nearly mastered 5 weapons in only 6 months and that is just launching from a basic knowledge level. Sure I knew my Katas and my basic weapon work, but now I understand the inside mechanics of my weapon Kata and the overall advantages of one weapon over another. Here I am in my 30s and I am now finally getting it, and thats after a 3rd Dan in one style and a 1st Dan in another. I am lucky that my basics were as solid as they where because considering that I trained in traditional schools and Dojos over the years. If you too want to make massive gains in your Martial Arts Weapons training I strongly recommend the Martial Arts Weapons Association. It is the lowest cost way to learn from a legend and get an entire library worth of books and videos. In fact Grandmaster Gambordella has reduced the cost to only $35 so anyone at any level in the Martial Arts Sport can afford to get the best training and information. The secret to proper training is studied and practicing a real method. Katas are fine but they will never take you to the highest levels. You can be great at a Kata (as I was) but still be bad with your weapon. So you simply have to learn the right way from the right instructor. This is your opportunity to learn from a legend and for next to nothing.

Develop your Kiai - To Win More Battles
KIAI

Hector, one of the heroes of the Trojan war, had such a fearsome war-cry it would drive whole armies back, Medieval Irish warriors were known to instill fear in even the toughest most disciplined English troops. The druids used a low-droning sound to un-nerve the Roman legions in the battle field, and G.I.’s returning from the pacific after world war 2 tell of a paralyzing Batlle-cry that the Japanese used during bayonet charges.

Oriental B.S.? Martial-arts fantasy or just proper psychology and physics applied at the right moment?
In one form or another, The Kiai or spirit shout has been touted to be an effective psychological weapon in the battle field or in one-on-one combat. Whether you are a believer in this or not, the Kiai, when executed properly is supposed to achieve the following:

1. Rally the troops. The Kiai is supposed to instill courage and ferocity in a full-frontal assault.Projected into an opponent, the kiai can paralyze the mind momentarily

2. a sudden un expected shriek causes the mind to look for the origins of the sound- thereby distracting him/her for a moment thus creating an opening

3. the Kiai is a spontaneous expression of individual courage and ferocity, in essence the kiai should ( or is supposed to ) psych you up.

4. Conversely - when the opponent is expecting a Kiai and it is not delivered - the effect is the same - the mind is expecting the battle-cry and is occupied with the expectation - thus distracting the opponent again.

As an ancient flowery Japanese text commands your kiai should fill your lungs and explode from your hara , it should reverberate like a thousand samurai storming into battle
