- Edit: We have added timestamps below so that you may go directly to the kata of your choice.
In 1997 I visited the Jundokan dojo in Naha. After 3 weeks there I performed the 13 goju kata back to back to document the transition from Higaonna Morio Sensei's teachings to that of the Jundokan's (it's the same lineage) Although 3 weeks wasn't long enough to absorb all changes this was my best effort at the time. Hesitations in particular indicate changes I was trying to implement.
If you wish to learn each kata in detail we offer complete instructional DVDs for each kata's performance, in addition to DVDs for each kata's application (bunkai): gkcglobalshop.com/collections

Wonderful to watch. I am 70 years old now but started my training at 16. I still practice kata if I'm not incapable of doing the actual i at least run through them in my mind. Seeing such amazing technique brings back the way it used to be. Well done sir. Well done.
That's great to hear.
Well done, sir! Respect 🙏 💮
Wonderful katas. I’m 70 as well, and have trained Japanese Goju Ryu for 29 years, but am learning the Okinowan Goju forms now as well. Don’t train as hard as I used to, but love it none the less. 🇨🇦
I am a 79 year old Kyokushin student and our forms consist of Goju and Shotokan. It's a lifetime of training. I value these instructional videos. Wish we had them when I was 12. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. You are an inspiration to karate ka training for a lifetime.
One of the best ways to do Goju Ryu kata on TH-cam !
Thanks.
Thank you for posting this. I studied Goju Ryu from a child until I graduated high school and moved away. Now my son is studying and I want to introduce him to the katas I used to do. These are bringing up so many memories!
Shivers that’s wonderful.
Katas are like a mind,body,heart electrical recharge. Cleans my emotions and give me a better perspective in discipline mind set:::LIFE . I started learning at 8, is a magic that maintains mindset I am a senior, train every day. Health and peace can not be pushed. OUSSS
That's wonderful to hear. Thanks for sharing.
I'm 79 and try to train 4 days a week. I'm still cleaning up my Goju, Shotokan and kobudo forms. We didn't have you tube in my youth or the opportunity to learn from different instructors from all over this planet. Higaano, Gogen Yamaguchi, and all of the masters of Goju continue to motivate and inspire me. Although there have been differences in kata forms I enjoy Higaano Sensei and encourage my students to go back to the origins. OSU thank you. I think your katas are excellent and wish I had the opportunity to train with you.
I haven't been to training in almost 20 years and watching some of the kata's performed bring back memories.
Thank you for your comment. Happy New Year.

Okinawa Goju Ryu is a rare gem 💎
I learned all of my katas from Bob Trias in Phoenix during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, and, as I recall, these are very solid.
Fantastic, thank you for sharing that information. Trias Sensei was a pioneer for karate in the US.
it must have been quite an honor to train with GM Trias; my Sensei was a student of a student of him long ago
Excellent posture. The Okinawa katas have high stances. It's good to see how mainland Japanese karate kata are more similar than they are different. Thank you Sensei for sharing.
The must difficult thing it's to get mutchimi.
Turning into a bear catching a fish.
A Hara of chewing-gum....
I first met Enfield Sensei in 1990 at the Bakersfield gasshuku. He was a "Beast" of talent and humbleness. He has only become better with time. IMHO he is the finest Okinawa Goju Ryu instructor in the USA today. So gifted with talent.
An invaluable demonstration with great strength,passion and control. So many memories of performing some of these Katas in 1977 for my Shodan. I am now a healthy 76 thanks in no small way to my martial arts training. Thankyou. Chris Hutchison. Western Australia.
That's wonderful to hear. Thanks for your comment, and all the best.
I’ve read quite a few of the comments here and I’m impressed by the wealth of knowledge from the commentors...I began my Goju-Ryu journey at the age of 4(now 49) and it was one of the best and most impressionable life journeys. I believe I’ll do a few kata tonite😉❤️
Since the day I found this i reference this constantly when practicing my goju.
Glad it is a good resource for you.
Just discovered this video. As a student of Chinen Sensei, I most certainly see the lineage in the subtle ness. Truly, very well done kata. Thank you for documenting.
Thank you.
@@GKCgoju who is doing the kata demonstration?
@@kenroberts8982 I am.
After watching your video, I was inspired to practice kata seriously. Thanks for uploading your video.
Beautifully performed Katas. Thank you for sharing this
Ossu
Great video, makes an excellent reference. Also, the forms are very well executed.
Glad it is useful as a reference.
Best kata i've seen lately, outstanding..
Tremendous demonstration of these venerable kata! Thank you for making this video!
Thank you.
Watching you do kata is always great inspiration and motivation for me. I look forward to being able to train again in person with you and Sensei Randy in the future when we’re out of Covid!
These katas are excellently done. Textbook. Kudos to you sir!
+Dan Djurdjevic Sanchin is a joke, come on man
+martyn slaven Fuck off.
@@martynslaven yeah
His technique isn't great.
@@davidbudo5551 bust one off , 12 to choose from, pick one ,practice for awhile then let's see your video
Just got back into practicing martial arts. I am very excited that I have discovered videos of Goju Ryu Katas. I enjoyed doing katas at tournaments when I was younger.
Wonderful, good luck in your training.
Thank you.
Same I used to do this style of ma.
Thank you for uploading this video.
Was really excellent.
Mircea Cretu I am glad you liked it.
Thank you for downloading this excellent video. I used to practice shotokan back in the day, so I can see very high technical standard here. Oss.
Impressive techniques and very solid kata performances!
Worse than politics are discussions as to which organization within a style is teaching kata correctly. More interesting, is the interpretation of the same kata by different styles. That horse left the barn ages ago as the proteges of those we recognize as Soke went out into the world to explore their own roads. When one considers the inventiveness and creativity of a Dan Djurdjevic, for example, what he brings to his art, and based upon his written philosophies, we have witnessed the evolution of a new style within which many classics are taught. Knowledge, enlightenment and self-improvement are what is to be sought. What works best, and why, should be the subject of discussion. Enfield Sensei contributes to that discussion, much to the advantage of all.
Amazing !!! Thank You for Sharing this Wonderful Art.......
MrEdium You're welcome. We appreciate the feedback.
ive learned Shotokan Sport, then Orthodox Shotokan-Ryu (From 3rd Generation), then Shito-Ryu (From 3rd Generation) as well.. Had the chance to learn Okinawa Goju-Ryu from 4th Generation.. and to be honest the Okinawa Goju-Ryu Kata, even the first is Hard to learn compared to the other 2 schools..i plan at Our Creator’s will to learn all Okinawa Goju-Ryu Kata ☺️ Arigato Gozaimasu Sensei for these wonderful Kata Video!
Thanks for this video, it helped me a lot with practising at home!
Thank you for uploading this. Its a good referrence.
You are welcome.
Your video inspired me to learn all the katas. I used your video to learn the last three! Thanks from Texas.
That's wonderful to hear.
Really very thankful to you Sensai ji

+GKCgoju Thank you very much for your kind greeting, only few peoples are keeping tradition alive, your good self is one among them.....Namaste and kindly keep inform all your happenings to me to budoindia@gmail.com.
Thanks for sharing very nice of you!
Troy Lansaw You are welcome. We love to share so that we can learn also.
Thank you, Unfortunately I can't perform any of these kata because of a physical illness but it has taught me useful techniques.
Thanks from Texas.
Thank you for this excellent demonstration. I have learnt a lot from it.
deep respect to you sir!
Dude is in shape.
At the time the video was taken I was in my mid-thirties and took training quite seriously.
I got my green belt In Okinawa Gojo Ryu at 15 and after watching this it inspired me to get back on it.
That's wonderful. Good luck with your training.
And its funny because at first people make fun of it because it looks weird, and then you combine all the katas and movements and holy man, you can see some serious combat moves in it.
Goju
OSU !!
LOVE THIS!!!!
Beautiful demonstration of kata
Thank you.
Excelente. Muy buena técnica y espíritu!
Very good Paul San, defiantly the Best performance of Miyazato Linage Goju Ryu Kata I have ever seen by a Westerner, superb!!!
+mark weatherill Thanks Mark.
Hi Paul San, would love to see you perform them all now your Older and have even more depth of knowledge.
+mark weatherill Haha, I have a whole DVD series of the kata and analysis now ;-).
Thank you for posting. I am watching this kata after 24 years. Use to practice when I was in 8th grade. Still remember the basic step. I love the passive aggressive movement, breath control. I never learned this minutae. Time to practice again!
I'm very impressed with these forms, very close to like that of the chinese, l've alway's liked to observe and watch other form's done by different practicioners of different martial arts, they are the foundation of all martial arts, I'm a Korean Martial Art Practicioner, this is definitely different from Japanese Styles, beautiful style, and very graceful, thank you for sharing👍
Thank you.
Moving Zen, simply brilliant.
Thank you.
My instructor recommended this collection to supplement my training and despite the plethora of Goju kata uploads these are my go to resource. I have to say they have greatly enhanced my own kata and I try to emulate the effort displayed which has not gone unnoticed by my instructor. Great upload. Thanks.
+jujitusuka That's great to hear.
nice performance of the goju ryu katas.
john calampiano
Damn dude, you got some fire in those moves.
wonderful!!! at last someone has uploaded this kind of video XD. Thank you bro!
You are welcome.
I am 2nd Dan black belt of the Goshi-Shun Taekwondo system. And we only do about 8 of these katas. Shisosen, saifa, seipai, Sanchin dai ichi, Geiki Sai dai Ichi & ni, seiyuchin, and Sanseiru. I never knew there were more! I hope to learn these with my fellow senseis during class
+Noah Hoshidate That's great. I didn't know that Taekwondo systems incorporated Goju-ryu kata.
+GKCgoju yeah. mines is a mixture of multiple martial arts but those katas i named are manditory for us
Absolutely amazing, wonderful technique! :)
Thanks.
Great video ❤❤❤like this.
Thank you 🤗
Very nice
Thanks.
This is a really excellent video demonstration, fantastic. This brings back memories of study with Master Arron Banks, I achieved brown belt, before I had to leave it, very nice. Thank you very much for your work.
+John Diakidis Thank you for your comment.
+GKCgoju a question. how could a person be part of jundokan?
If there is a representative in your country then contact them. If not then write to the Jundokan dojo in Okinawa.
I guess we dont have any here. I am from Brazil.
Eliomar Costa If you need help contacting the Jundokan please let me know.
WOW, this is really impressive! Power, rhythm, speed. I will try to do it this way. Banzai!
Very good kata sir. Very skilled.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks Sensei...these really help !
+soilinc Glad to hear.
Very nice 👍😊
Thank you 😊
So hardcore, inner core, fast twitch. Goju students have hard bones. They, we break bones. I Miss it. Rodney Hu Sr student here, Stockton, CA. Rodney Hu Jr. RIP Love you bro. Killed by a low life sob.
I was very sorry to hear about Rodney Hu Jr. Sensei's passing. May he Rest In Peace.
I watched this video to see what order I need to do Katas so I can learn new ones ( specifically saifa and seiyunchin) so I can surpass my friend.
Hopefully you and your friend help each other to improve through hard training. Good luck.
Ah muy bueas Katas :) me gusta su ejecución.
This is some real deal kata my friend I'm first Dan shorin ryu but I really like these kata and would love to learn them in depth
Excelente!
thank you.
soo much better than a lot of "so called" grand masters that have jacked up this style . well done
Swift and humble considering your physical strength with this in mind be alert and always train
Goju Ryu karate is my favourite style.
Wonderful. Do train Goju-Ryu?
I want to learn all of these katas even though I’m not at school right now.
There are VERY similar to our club SEIWAKAI. well done. Learning Shisochin now... it is hard!! Actually still learning all the katas it never stops.
Yes, Seiwakai has been standardizing to the Jundokan methods of doing kata for sometime now.
Wishing you all the best in your training.
@@GKCgoju I learned something. I will research Jundokan. thanks Paul. Karate Weds Friday and Saturday this week.
@@gregs_garage The Jundokan in Okinawa was founded by Miyazato Eiichi Sensei following the death of (Goju ryu founder) Miyagi Chojun Sensei. Many instructors came up through the Jundokan, and some of them later left to start their own organizations. For example: IOGKF, Jundokan International, GKCglobal (which is us), and others. Despite not being directly affiliated with the Jundokan dojo today they follow Miyazato Sensei's teaching and are therefore Jundokan lineage. Hope that makes sense.
@@GKCgoju yes thanks Sensei. osu
very good
Dude... I have been practicing for 30 years (Shotokan/Isshinryu) and Good Lord that was some nice Kata.
***** Thank you for your feedback.
Shotokan is a sports karate tho...
I am a shotokan practitioner and am totally unfamiliar with the katas in this video. Nevertheless I liked the video because the sensei who performed them moved well, with great strength and speed. Thank you for posting!
Very Impressive :)
I am from Shinkyokushinkai but I really enjoy learning other styles Katas :)
Good job
Thank you. Some goju kata such as sanchin, tensho, seiyunchin for example are also in Kyokushin I believe.
@@GKCgoju Indeed :)
It is a pleasure to share common katas it brings us all a little closer to each other in our training journey towards improvement and discipline
Kyokushin is a combination of Goju and Shotokan. I'm not familiar with shinkyokushin. Sosai Oyama included Tensho, Sanchin, Seuinchin and many other goju katas....I don't understand your post.
you move like a longer leaner higaonna! Nice job! you should be happy!
Thank you.
soft ,hard, style ☯️
Good performance
Thank you.
My favourite katas
Very good! Real punches and power, looking a bit Shotokan though,
Nice form.
mantap gan
the kata are very well formed, excellent performance. I just hope you're breathing. I was taught the breath is every part a weapon as your body.
Thank you.
No, thank you for putting them all in one place! It was a VERY well performed execution.
Beautiful katas. Similar to Shotokan. Powerful, precise and artful.
+vikotto Thank you.
My favourite martial art ,my everyday use in real fight's
Karate é uma vida
Yes, for many people.
Nice
I finally learned saifa! and I'm only a yellow belt so I'm kind of ahead along with my other yellow belt friend.
I assume you had prior martial arts training for the weeks this is mad impressive.
Yes, I believe I explained in the video description, sorry if it wasn't clear.
hello from fiji , i guess im the only one left in fiji unofficially following iogkf everyone else in fiji has affiliated to other goju ryu so hopefully i intend to restart iogkf in fiji again
Felix Fremlin good luck with your training.
