Goju Ryu truly has so much built in - when taught properly, it is a complete system! So funny when the MMA bros completely miss the point about what we do, and that most of it was borrowed/stolen/cribbed from the Okinawan styles. Thank you for this truly lovely comment!
@GojuRyuKarateCentre I tried my hand at Bjj for 7 years after training in Goju Ryu. Both are super fun. Goju ryu actually gave me my two favorite subs, and the clinch work really helped me with the takedown entries as well as defense. Thanks!
Ah, that's wonderful to hear! All teachers need to refill their cups - we often turn to RUclips ourselves when we need inspiration. What an incredible era to be a karate-ka! Thank you so much for commenting and watching :)
This is such a great video. Great ideas, a lot of information and functionality for kakie while doing bunkai at the same time. I think Sensei Che needs to show his experimental side more as this is just fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing!
Ah, what a lovely comment! I will plant the seed in his head to share more of his own R&D 😉 We always appreciate your comments, and the time you take to watch our videos, friend Carlos!
Awesome content and channel-love your approach and method of communication reminds me of my Goju Ryu training back in PE with Graham Sensei. Keep up the quality work. Nice use of the Goju-Kai kake-uke there.
Hi Andrew, thank you so, so much for this lovely comment! We're glad to bring back memories, and we are happy that we are able to contribute to the wider Goju Ryu world 🙇🏻♀️ Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Much appreciated
Thank you, Sensei! Kakie teaches practitioners to gain a situational awareness of their opponent that's often invisible to the eye. It also facilitates an understanding of their own body mechanics-all of this in a semi-controlled manner while still providing some element of uncertainty. I agree that this type of training is the bridge between kumite/randori and kata/bunkai. In many ways, I think that kakie can stand on its own merit just as well as any other type of training, and perhaps is deserving of being considered as one of the primary pillars of training. The training value in this video is too much to take in at once and I know I will be rewatching this (and the previous Flow Drill) video again and again. And to Sensei Zoe, thanks for the entertaining bits of humour and sarcasm scattered throughout. 😁
Ah, always a pleasure, our Sirius! Apologies for the late response for one of our very best and oldest subscribers - shame on me! It is maybe to kakie's benefit that it is only taught by seriously authentic dojos - it requires a serious depth of knowledge to be utilised effectively, otherwise it just ends up being a shoulder conditioning exercise between swole bros. In Sensei Chinen's _Hapo_ kakie is treated as its own subject worthy of exploration - it is a pity that this isn't more universally accepted across other dojos. If I ever have to do another thesis again, I think kakie would make a fine subject for it. As always, we are delighted by your lovely comments, and support for our little channel :) - Zoe
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre, no worries on a late response, Sensei. I was late in watching this video! 🤣 A thesis on kakei would be awesome! When I think "thesis", I think of a rather lengthy monograph. Or were you referring to a shorter article of sorts?
I took goju ryu for Manny year in my adolescent years. Just shy of a black belt then work and life and a new family took me over. After seeing the first 5 seconds of the push pull drill it is all coming back.. just found these videos today, thanks for the refresher and a few new variations of some things. Also, lol, I'm Bryan so I know how Brian feels.... Haha..
What a lovely comment for us to recieve! Nothing is ever truly forgotten if you train it well enough - hopefully one day you can return to the dojo 🥋 Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🙇🏻♀️
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre thank you for inspiring words. I home school my son, and this year's physical education will be martial arts in the back yard. So in a way, I will be returning to the dojo.. Sensei...
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre too bad you are in Africa as I am in the USA. Otherwise me and my son would be at your dojo, too bad every one wants to learn the flashy martial arts, no goju ryu dojos around me, luckily i found you and your wife on RUclips today setting up visuals for my son's schooling. Great content. Bringing back a lot of memories.. my wife caught me doing katas in my back room and she wants to learn goju ryu as she learned judo as a kid.. keep u the great content, watched 5 videos so far, so Manny more to go.
Ah, you are too, too kind! We really do love our beautiful art, and we definitely aren't flashy - our channel will never go viral, because we do "boring" karate! We are one day hoping to introduce Zoom classes for our global dojo - we hope you'll be able to join us 🙇🏻♀️
Peter Sensei was my coach and boss when I was a player and part of the coaching commission while he was our head coach. Yip, tough, connected and passionate Much respect Che
I have waited long time to see beautiful go ju kyu the true meaning of Karate Kept on the good work. I would had no problem training with you or your group. thank you.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Pat Drago! We are so grateful you took the time to watch our video; we know there are many videos competing for your attention, and we're glad you chose to watch ours. And if we can bring the best of the art we love to RUclips, then we are happy! If ever you are in South Africa, drop on by and come train with us :)
Love this video, there's some old-school kakie here, especially 14:10 - 15:00. I saw Higaonna Sensei demo this years ago, not in recent years though. I love doing this to my little girl during playfighting, and when I showed this video to her today she suddenly commented that she did this to someone during free-sparring in her BJJ class and brought an older girl down. which is great, for she's exceeded me, since in all my years I've only managed to lock somebody's arms thus, during irikumi but not manage to throw or take anybody down - all two times I switched to Uraken strike instead before breaking off. This technique actually depends on the opponent's instinctive response, and the first time I did this，I was a young and new Sandan, it was an accident, my right hand grabbed his right hand and pulled it down, he instinctively punched into the exposed jodan area and I grabbed his left hand with mine, then training kicked in and I locked his elbow/arms like during practice....and my right hand delivered the Uraken....the second time,years later was kinda intended, now that I knew how an opponent could be lured into this technique - again I went for Uraken instead of throw.
Well done to your daughter - we're proud of her (even though she's not ours!) Good martial principles occur in all good arts, especially if one has an intuitive grasp of body mechanics and quick answers to every technique. It sounds like she is well on her way! Sometimes there is serendipity on the mat and a technique just arrives...and sometimes it is a fluke 🤣
ROFL @ 'Having long hair as a deshi is a poor life choice'... Thank you for the great content and a laugh. I enjoy learning from your videos, thank you Sensei.
Ah, thank you so much for the kind words, Glenn! Brian has been a deshi for nearly 2 years, and he's insisted on keeping his hair - the poor choices continue 😆
I often recommend The Way of Kata to people who are serious about their karate and need a good overview of the rules or guidelines of bunkai. And unlike most karate books, it is clearly written and enjoyable - some of them are so dry and boring 😪 Always stomp the groin 💪
The clinch fighting principles of Goju-Ryu are such a hidden gems and so increadibly reliable and practical. Thank you so much for this awesome video!

Ignore the critics. Focus on your work, and your work will speak for itself. Osu!
Thanks
Sound advice
Will keep working at it

Excellent! One of the things I like the most of Goju Ryu training is kakie, and how to link it to bunkai.
Regards from Argentina (Ryuei Ryu)
Thank you very much! We are so delighted to hear from our international friends, and across styles! Kakie truly is the bridge from kata to kumite :)

By the way, The Way of Kata is more of Shoreikan than Jundokan although it is still great as plainly explains all kaisai-no genri points.
I often recommend The Way of Kata to people who are serious about their karate and need a good overview of the rules or guidelines of bunkai. And unlike most karate books, it is clearly written and enjoyable - some of them are so dry and boring 😪
Always stomp the groin 💪
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre : although Brian disapproves your last sentence. :)))
His children will have blue eyes 😂

Very similar to hubud /lubud.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is that?
