KARATE
GOJU RYU MEIBUKAN
By Lex Opdam
This work
reflects the system of education from the School of Dai Sensei
Meitoku Yagi named the Meibukan. The Meibukan, in an educational
sense, originated from the teachings of “the Empty Hand”
that Chojun Miyagi adopted in his Goju-ryu Karate system and
passed over to his student in turn, Meitoku Yagi. Sensei Yagi
developed the system further and gave these teachings a personal
interpretation. The reader will find many historical photographs
of great Okinawan Goju-ryu karate masters who were the pioneers
of this unique martial art. The syllabus in this book serves
as a technical manual in which history, origins, practice,
and techniques are arranged in an orderly way, allowing the
identity of the style to emerge. This syllabus offers deep
background that not only will serve beginning karatekas by
giving them a rational framework to grasp this martial art,
but also more experienced karatekas, who may reinforce or
augment their existing understanding of the style’s
unique subtleties.
# 124 – US $24.95 – 7 x 10 – ISBN: 978-1-933901-29-9
