Goju Ryu Technical Series - Part I by Morio Higaonna

As the titles suggest these are programs of a highly technical nature, but that still sport all the trappings of the Tsunami video studio; a first class author, high quality production, strong content, and no nonsense. This review was based on a screening of the shows in the final stages of editing, but I am sure that more of the Tsunami magic will be added to what I saw.
 
 
Morio Higaonna is widely regarded by karate instructors of all styles as the ultimate Goju Ryu practitioner. In addition to being incredibly strong and a superb karate technician, he is a scholar of his art as we have seen from the publication of his book recently. I don't think that there was another choice for the author of this particular video, nor would I have wanted to review it if their had been. This should not be taken as anything other than an indication of how much I enjoy watching Morio Higaonna "at work," as it were.

This new series of programs is a combination of the JKF Technical and Bunkai series. In its new guise as the Goju Ryu Technical Series, of which these two shows are Parts 1 & 2 it will when finished show all the kata of Goju Ryu with their bunkai.
 
 
 

Regardless of your style you should buy this video to see the level of technique that constant and correct training can develop. It is awesome, and will inspire anyone who sees it to train harder. Higaonna is perfection, the video is produced with the style and the quality only Tsunami can achieve, and it is as educational as it is satisfying.
