Tadahiko Otsuka GOJU-RYU Okinawa Karate Kata #1
This sample video is from the DVD that came with Tadahiko Otsuka’s 468-page reprinted book. Originally published in 1977, this 13-book set known as “Goju Kensha Karatedo Goju-ryu Kyohon, Shidoin Course” which translates as “Goju-ryu Karatedo Complete Teaching Guide for Teachers.” This set of books set a standard that other karate books have not been able to accomplish. The original 13-book series from 1977 is extremely rare, and if you were to find it, then be prepared to spend at least $800 to $1000 for it. The book boasts literally 1000s of pictures and no karate library should be without this book. This book/DVD set can be purchased on ebay. All 13 books have been condensed into one hardback heavy volume. On ebay search for “TADAHIKO OTSUKA 468pg BIBLE Okinawa Goju-ryu Karate”

There is too much …
There is too much hostility on this form, obviously most of you are not real karate-ka, and if you are Im sure your teacher would be ashamed of you. No this is not a traditional Okinawan Goju Ryu kata but this man is clearly a karate master in which case he may be showing kata that is older than the current system or he could have made his own system. Oh and just a word of advice, never go to Okinawa Island and call karate Japanese, you may come back without a neck!

So the Asstralian …
So the Asstralian is upset when someone points out some biomechanical errors in a kata? Why is that! I have earned that right with as many years in the arts as you have been alive. Go eat a wallaby! I practice the way my Japanese master taught me by the way!

…pardon me but …
…pardon me but you are quite obviously a fuckwit !!.this IS Suzuki sensei master Otsuka’s most senior student/instructor and he is demonstrating the original Pinan form,..this man could chew you up and spit you out his arse sunshine and I think you should take a long look at the way the US and most other countries have destroyed traditional Japanese karate,.they did after all invent it and Suzuki and Otsuka are well respected PROFFESSORS of martial arts in the world today …UP YOURS MATE !!.

No offense, but his posture is not very good, which creates poor balance and even poorer power.
