Resurrecting Miyagi Sensei's techniques from historic photographic evidence.
Registration Details Below
Workshop Part 1: Photos 1 thru 5
Workshop Part 2: Photos 6 thru 11
In this two part online workshop we will be exploring the techniques (and associated training practices) as demonstrated by Miyagi Chojun Sensei from eleven historic photographs representing different eras of his training. These photographs date back as far as 1910 (pre formal karate styles) through the 1940s.
During these workshops we will look at the techniques themselves, while also venturing beneath the surface to determine the deeper principles of the techniques shown and point out the associated vital training practices.
These workshops will be a fascinating study that will be sure to enhance and energize your application practices while also providing a historical perspective to your martial art. You do not need to know Goju ryu karate, or Goju ryu kata to participate as the focus is on two person application drills.
