Containing more than 265 photos, the book is divided into chapters that illuminate each of the ten classical kata of Goju-ryu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on more than forty years of experience in the martial arts, Giles Hopkins Sensei takes us on a journey into the Goju-ryu karate system, providing a principles-based method for analysis of kata practice. Arguing against the commonly held notion that kata techniques can have multiple interpretations, he insists that a kata cannot simply mean what the user wants it to mean, but contains specific martial principles that must be followed for it to work effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe step-by-step descriptions of the receiving, controlling or bridging, and finishing techniques contain in-depth analysis of commonly misunderstood aspects of kata. Each chapter concludes with an engaging anecdote from the author’s time in Okinawa, the birthplace of Goju-ryu, connecting it with the kata under discussion. Equally useful for the novice and for more advanced karate practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of kata and bunkai.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Snake Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59680014073937,"sku":"1623171997","price":53000.0,"currency_code":"CLP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/6455\/3809\/files\/71MBf_T7CFL.jpg?v=1782067974","url":"https:\/\/provetodo.cl\/es-cl\/products\/libro-the-kata-and-bunkai-of-goju-ryu-karate-the-essence-of-the-heishu-and-kaishu-kata","provider":"Provetodo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
