Okinawa, the cradle of karate: The books on the topic "Okinawa Goju Ryu Kata Bunkai" (Volumes I-III) deal with the relationship between the classic katas in Goju Ryu with the ideas from a Chinese monograph, the so-called "Bubishi", taken into account. Volume I deals with the applications of the fundamental Katas Sanchin and Tensho in detail. In particular, basic knowledge about special breathing, about the Qi, the fascia system, the six hands of the Bubishi (Rokkishu) and the physiological background of the Kyusho Jutsu are imparted. Otherwise, the necessary knowledge is rarely or not taught at all. Full color print, more than 340 illustrations.
