24.01.2022 Gekisai-shodan (Goju-ryu`s basic kata) by Kenshu Hideo Watanabe, 9th dan at the age of 72 in Sydney, Australia. This video was taken by Paul Breckon, 4th dan af...ter the dojo training on 5th April, 2019. Our authentic Goju-ryu linage is from the founder Chojun Miyagi - Seko Higa - Kanki Izumikawa - Sosui Ichikawa - Masashi Sudo & to me, which is called Bubishi Master`s Goju-ryu karate-do linage. Please note that our Goju-ryu kicks, punches, blocks & etc delivered like similar to whipping sharply as you can see from the video. See more
