A Goju Ryu Guidebook: The Kogen Kan Manual for Karate

This book was better on the kindle. This book could have been better edited by a professional editor. Other than tha the information was solid, just jumbled together. I can only recommened getting this book only if you are a GOJU Ryu practitioner who nows what they are reading. It is not newbie frendly.

Very balanced historical review of Okinawa Goju Ryu giving due credit to the masters from different schools. Really did a nice job putting this information together.

I needed a detailed written and illustrated guidebook to help me with my goju trainings. And chapter names suggested that the book is the solution. But it's not. It's a textbook with almost no illustrations so it's really hard to imagine how should I move in a kata or bunkai, or other techniques.

when the writer goes into kata there should be some better instruction and pictures perhaps we will see some on specific kata covered in this book katas of this style have always been interesting to myself

Our organization has embarked on the same path. The book covers all aspects for the inexperienced instructor. We would like to use most of the contents with permission.

Doesn't really give much on Goju Ryu.

Good read for a book

too drawn out
