Site Description:
Goju-ryu (the hard/soft style) is an art which combines traditional Okinawan techniques with both internal and external Chinese principles. The soft (ju), internal Chinese style concentrates upon circular movements and the development of chi (vital energy), while external, hard (go) principle rely upon physical strength. The combination of these principles make Goju-ryu a close-range, fighting system that concentrates on efficiency of movements as well as a personal development.
